Video Clips - Finally as promised we have video clips to share. Some of these are ridiculously mundane, we hope you enjoy. Thank You Lisa for telling us about dropshots.

Warning - There is a lot of Video up there. This site was so easy to use we decided to use it as a storage depot so Alexia can enjoy these video clips easily. The site puts the most recent at the top so the China stuff is a few pages over. You might find it easiest to click on year and then go from there.

Baptism and Bethlehem Village - Bethlehem Village is our Church's multigenerational Vacation Bible Study. Each summer we spend 3-5 evenings during the week and we reenact some moment in biblical history. This year was Bethlehem Village and the birth of Christ. Last year was Jerusalem Marketplace and the Crucifiction. Next year will be Sea of Galilee and many miracles. Family participants become members of one of the twelve tribes of Israel. Volunteers are either shop keepers or actors who perform daily dramas to reinforce the days teaching points. This year participants also visited the Census Taker shop each night to learn about Roman Traditions. Last year they visited the Rabbi to learn about Jewish traditions. This is a lot of fun, a great way to bring living scripture to the families in our community. Ken and I have a wonderful time with the drama team and role playing on stage and through out the village. It was a little harder this year with Alexia along but she had a grand time. Did I mention we also add an actual petting zoo with barnyard animals. The kids love it.
