Compassion Sunday materials arrived!

It's still 2.5 weeks until I show my video at a Wednesday fellowship dinner at my church, but my materials have arrived! I already have the video picked out (out of the dozens that I can choose from). But as of today I now have a tablecloth, banner, several posters to display around the church as advertisement (likely after I laminate them--Compassion doesn't want them back, and I like them well enough to keep them), and the ever-important child packets.

Considering my audience size, I only received 10 packets. I'm not surprised. They sent five boys and five girls, ranging from 4 - 13 years old, representing the four areas where Compassion is present (Central America, South America, Africa, and Asia). None of the countries are duplicated, so I got a good mix of children to display.

I showed everything to my mom, even explaining the sign-up form, so that she can help out if necessary. I'll be glad to have her help setting up. And who knows, I might need to make use of her training on the sign-up forms. God has been known to work in ways beyond our comprehension. We shall see what happens.
