First practice of the new year=SUCCESS!!!!

GLO Puppet Ministry had its first organizational meeting of the year this afternoon at 4:00. We were blessed to have to over 40 new and old puppeteers along with some new moms join us. We were missing at least another 10 puppeteers due to other commitments. I thought you might like to see some pictures of the kids before the fun started.

Just look at how attentive everyone's being now....

 After discussing the general info, the puppeteers decided they would like to perform for our Sunnyside   Baptist Church annual Trunk or Treat on October 31. This is an alternative to trick or treating and is a wonderful outreach to our community children. So the next 3 practices are being devoted to work for this performance. 

After this discussion, the fun began...the youth were handed a puppet and we kind of had a "musical puppet swap" as we played bits of songs and everyone would sing and pass the puppet when the song stopped. This let our new puppeteers have a feel for what puppetry is all about.

Lots of concentration is going on here!!

Then after several swaps, they were asked to stand and give their puppets some personality. This is when it really got fun!!

Here's some goofy "live action." The kids were definitely giving their puppets personality!! Enjoy!

What an awesome group of kids and we are so excited to see what God has in store for us this year. We are truly blessed to be working with such an amazing group of kids that are willing to be used by Him! 

Looking to further the Kingdom,
