Over Easter weekend every year, our church helps coordinate a convention called Leadership Training for Christ. I like to think of it as 4-H for church. It's a convention where kids, ages 3rd grade and up through high school and participate in different events likes puppets, drama, singing, bulletin boards, arts, speaking, etc. There are events kids can do ahead of time like Bible quiz, teaching, volunteer work. Every year has a theme and they alternate between the Old and New Testament. This year's theme was "the Extra Mile" and was based on the book of Matthew. I love that it's a way to engage the kids and get them excited to learn about Jesus and the Bible. This year, Marcus did puppets, Bible quiz and Bible bowl.

Marcus's puppet has the red hat. The groups each write their own script based on whatever passage they want to choose from the book in the Bible that is being covered. It gives them a lot of creative license. Marcus's group did a skit about not letting video games be the most important thing in your life.
Marcus also did Bible bowl. He was on a team with 3 other kids from church and they did a good job! I think Marcus got something like 70 of 100 points and some of those questions were tough! I can say he had a fun time just being with the other kids. I know he will be excited to participate next year. And, next year, Cale gets to go, too.
