Our church (FBC Allen) is building a new Children’s building to allow us to continue to reach more families. With the new building comes a capital campaign which is called Generation to Generation. All members of the church are part of the campaign, including the pre-school children. Since Paul and I teach Greyson’s class on Sunday mornings, I got to be a part of their giving (Paul was out of town for work). During the worship service, the kids got to go to “Big Church” and put the money they had collected to go toward their project, a large aquarium in the new building.

The yellow box the children are standing on depicts the location where the aquarium will sit in the new building.
A Ground Breaking Ceremony was also held that day. The church gave each child a play hardhat and shovel to play in the dirt a little.
Notice Piper looking on in the background. I did not let her eat dirt…

This was a rewarding day for our church and for me. As a member of the Building and Land Committee, we have been working on this for about a year and a half. It has been fun and I look forward to seeing it completed. This will be a great building to continue to serve God in.
