I teach a class of 3rd & 4th graders at Children’s Church. Today’s lesson was about helping others. We played a game, read bible verses, and performed skits in small groups. For the last activity, each student had to come up with a family member whom he/she would help this week. Students wrote names of family members on band-aids and wore them on their arms and legs. The band-aid served as a symbol and a reminder.

One student had the bright idea of putting on the band-aid first, then writing the name after. This student also chose to wear his band-aid on his forehead. He asked his cousin to “write the name on his head.” Not fully understanding his instructions, she began to write “Mommy” an inch above the band-aid on his forehead with a Sharpie.

When I first started attending Hope Chapel West Oahu, I asked God for a sign. God is faithful. He gave me four signs….

When Pastor Randy found out that I lived across the street from church, he asked me to join the street signs crew. I take my four signs out every Friday afternoon and pick them up on Sunday afternoon. I place them on designated street corners in the neighborhood. My dad usually comes along and rides shotgun. This has been a blessing because dad feels a sense of ownership for the church. Next time you see us driving around Waikele, honk your horn….
