| The Cinnamon broom Nicol purchased! |
The week went by fast with the anticipation of the JP II field trip taking place today. We actually spent part of the week remodeling the office. It looks great and smells great(Nicol bought a Cinnamon broom)! You really won't believe the transformation this office under went. It's as if Extreme Makeover came in and finished in 72 hours! Brian did a great job building things and making a mess, Carlos assisted Brian, and Nicol and Ally went behind the guys and cleaned up after them.
Today the office was buzzing with 54 students(babies-Senior's in high school) from the JP II Home School group in Jacksonville. They came through the office in 2 separate groups. As the younger students walked through the office to the back, they got excited as they saw drawings of Skiff, AJ, and other Characters from the
Altar Gang. The morning started off with Brian teaching the students how art can help teach about God and truth. He explained to them how everything in this life, including art is meant to glorify our Heavenly Father. After their art lesson, we split them up in 2 groups. We had two stations the students would visit in the office. First station was with Carlos and David in the recording studio. While the students were in the recording office, they learned how to create sound effects with ordinary objects. The second station was with Brian, where they learned how to draw and to not be afraid to mess up while drawing. Brian taught them how to draw
Mary the Ciborium and the other characters. In both sessions, the students where actively participating and excited to be in the office where the
Altar Gang lives. As the students left they received a coloring book filled with pictures of the Nativity Scene, just in time for the Advent Season that is approaching quickly.
We had a blast with the students and their mothers. We are thankful and blessed to have had them here in our office. Please take a look at the slide show to the right of all the pictures from today! Have a safe and Blessed weekend! ~ Lumen Crew...
