Finishing Hand Tools

This Sunday, we will be finishing up Hand Tools for our Contenders of Faith. Our Carpentry Expert, "Big" Kevin, will be leading our boys in utilizing the skills they have been learning and practicing.
A big thanks to all the men who are leading our boys and helping to train them. They are...the men of tommorrow!

Mastering those skills

Contenders, Keep working on those hand tools. This week Luke has been working with the screwdriver a lot. He screwed the battery compartment closed for one of Abby's toys with a phillips head scewdriver. He also worked on tightening the screws (with a phillips screwdriver) on the hand rails along the stairs. Anyone else working on those hand tools???!!!

Keepers, How are those Card Making skills coming? Abby made one this week using stickers and drawing. It was a lovely note of encouragement. Keep working on those. Encouraging others is a beautiful skill to master.

Encouraging Cards

Learning to show we care for others through the beauty of a handmade card. We stamped, colored, stickered, cut and drew many lovely cards that will bring encouragement and cheer to other's hearts.
