It all started with talking about boats in the Bible: from Noah’s ark to Peter the fisherman, from Jonah trying to escape from God to Jesus stilling the storm that threatened to sink the disciples’ craft.
The children found their little logs or pieces of bark and sails of leaves, assembled their boats, and painted them.
Here are a few of the vessels lined up ready to take home.
The moment of truth was when the attempt was made to float the boats on the pond.
Some capsized, others did float. Imagine the delight when some sailed away.
