I thought I would upload a photo or two from this week so checked out what photos were taken.  Not many actually.  But I came across the photos that were taken at our Co-op last week.  And there is a neat story behind them so I thought I would share.

About 1/2 hour before we left for our Co-op last Friday I received a call to say that my friend couldn’t make it since her baby had a temp the night before.  She wondered if Jess would be able to take on her Character First lesson.  Jess though a little nervous was happy to step in at such short notice.

My friend (MC) had prepared some posters but was intending to share some stories from her own life showing the repercussions of not having self control.  Jess wasn’t quite prepared to do that so she had a quick look through the lesson pamphlet and decided to do a science experiement.  After several phonecalls back and forth between MC’s house and mine we were all set. 

I gave one of the other mums our camera and asked her to snap away since I was busy talking to the big kids about Character  So here are the photos – Jess taking her first Character lessons with a group of kids!

We were very proud of Jess, not just that she could teach the lesson – she has done Character First for many years and she has internalised many of the lessons, but that she was prepared to step out on a limb and fill in a gap – to us that is a very important aspect of Christian Service.  Availability!
