Great job guys!!

The puppeteers had an opportunity of learning a verse each day. This year the two verses that were picked was 1 Timothy4:12 and John 3:16. When they learned a verse they put their name on a slip of paper and it was entered into our verse jar. They could learn additional verses also and each time put their name on a piece of paper for the prayer jar. At the end of the program a name was drawn and the one that was drawn won this puppet. This girl was the winner!!!
