Yawn!
Who would have thought that a 45 minute production would be some much work. KidsQuest is exhausting for everyone involved - but it's a good kind of exhausting, the kind where when we're done, people go "That was great, what's next?"
The Children in attendance dropped just a bit this month, but the odd thing is, we still had about the same number of adults. The good part is that more people are getting involved. Last month there was 4 singers (youth & adults), this month there were 7 and Teri was acting rather than singing. I also had someone ask me about getting involved with the singing, so I now have a pool of 7 adults and 3 youth each month for singing. Our actors grew just a but this month with Teri playing the role of Cammie so we have 5 actors. This month or A/V squad grew as well, I now have 3 youth that are willing to work in the back.
On the down side, I need to learn how to get some set up and tear down people. Practice was at 5 today, so I arrived at 3 to begin setting up. Teri came in a little after 4, and we finished right at 5. Even if I had more (some?) people to help with set up, I'd probably still arrive way early - it helps me get into the "game." Putting stuff away went pretty well, though I should have gone through the church to make sure everything was put back in the right place.
If each month continues to grow like this and the good thoughts among the adults (even those without children) continues, this could become pretty major in just a short amount of time. God can do some pretty amazing stuff - and it's neat to see people getting behind it.
My next goal is to get ahead enough that I can give the actors and singers their parts for the next month as soon as we're finished with a production. Wish me luck on this one.
