While Tom is traveling, I like to think of fun and fruitful things to do to help pass the time.
Here are some goals on my itinerary.
I am hopeful that our friends will join us – please e-mail me to “RSVP”.

Party for the kids

I would like to have a little costume / “dress up” party for the kids. As it is, there are pirates, cowboys, royalty, and even a combination butterfly-fairy-princess running around at our house. (Parents have to get dressed up, too!). Let me know if you have any food or game ideas.

Memorize Bible Verses

I just ordered “My ABC Bible Verses: Hiding God’s Word in Little Hearts” by Susan Hunt as well as the teacher’s guide, which has lessons and activity pages that can be duplicated and distributed. Each letter of the alphabet has a corresponding verse and a short application story. The book is also available through CE&P, and the study guide only at CE&P. It would be fun to do this simultaneously with other families, especially as there is not currently a children’s Sunday School at IPC. My goal is to memorize a verse a week.

Book discussion via e-mail

This month, I would like to read the book “Sink Reflections” by Marla Cilley, which is a book about home organization. It is also available through the FlyLady website. (As you can see, this site is mentioned under our favorite links – “You can do anything in 15 minutes!”. This is how I get things done!). Anyone else interested in reading it this month, we can do an email book discussion.

Care Package for a Missionary

This is something I’d like to do for one or more of the missionary families supported by our church. I need to look into this further – get the ages of the children, confirm addresses, etc. I am hoping to send both practical and fun items as well as notes, children’s drawings, etc., from members of our congregation. I would like to circulate a sign-up sheet at church.
