Chapel at MCDS ~ by Alicia Kanode

We were asked to return to Manheim Christian Day School to lead morning chapel for the intermediate students.  Sean started by leading some fun kids’ worship songs.  Joanie then asked for volunteers and allowed the kids to participate as she shared the parable of the sower.  The student volunteers got to act out the parts of the farmer, the seeds and the birds.  The “seeds” had a lot of fun, dancing through the fields, finding a place to land, and then “growing” in their different soils!  Afterwards, Joanie shared more about what the story actually means.  Sean led in singing the song, “Open the Eyes of my Heart” and in a time of prayer, inviting the kids to respond to the lesson and to listen to what God might be speaking to each one.
