Work, Church and Dancing

May 17, 2014 Posted by Karen Huxter 3 Comments

Our unfinished church building is already a blessing.  It will be even more so when it is done and we have proper seating, etc.

Thank you to one and all who helped with this project.  Yesterday we used it for the first time – for a school event.  Can’t use it for church yet as the desks that were carried there for yesterday’s event have to be taken back for school classes.

You will see from these photos that HATS-Haiti truly is  –

ALL ABOUT  THE  CHILDREN.

This unfinished church building is a blessing already

 

Mariah did a good job of teaching the girls two dances in a short time

 

HATS kids danced at Flag Day too

 

Sandra, who learned the dance moves from Mariah had stage fright. Jonathan could do it too but he would not even go forward.

 

Preschool kids had fun dancing too

    It looks like you had a great flag day! The inside of the church looks sooo big, wow! How far did the kids march with the band?
    It sure will be a blessing when the church is all finished and you can use it for so many things along with church services.
