Pioneer Club awards

Our little Skipper Violet was so excited to earn her first two badges Wednesday in Pioneer Club.

For Cora, in her fifth year in the group, awards nights and badges have become a bit ho-hum.
But Violet, she talked about her badges all day prior to the little ceremony, and begged to put them on her shirt immediately.

Our friend Morgan is doing a great job as their teacher, making it a fun program for the 3-year-olds.

Here, the Skippers are singing their song and playing instruments in front of the Pioneer Club kids and parents. Violet is a bit of a ham, and several parents afterward told us how she made them laugh.

 The Skippers recited Genesis 1:1, "God made the sky and the earth," with hand motions.

 Later, Cora's Voyager group got up to say their verse and review what they have learned this unit.

Then all the children were on stage to sing "Jesus, You are My Best Friend," with dancing and hand motions. Our girls took the moves seriously, especially Cora, who kept quite a straight face as she tried to remember everything correctly.

We then enjoyed baked goods that the older club members were selling to raise money for a ministry that works against child trafficking.
