sports day



it's the sunday school's event of the year!! after over a month's preparation, we present for the 1st time ever, Sports Day 2008!

despite an early morning drizzle, people came as early as 7am to help set up things, eg. marking out the running lanes....


...laying out the chairs & tables...



the drizzle had stopped by 8.30, we were ready to start....with team captains rallying the troops....


let the games begin....


starting with......racing with a ball on a spoon....


...balancing a bean-bag on the head....

...or between the legs....


..3-legged race...


the final event, & no less exciting, was the tug-of-war...

with the victors celebrating...


& there can only be one winning team..


no sunday school program can be complete without spiritual food from the pastor..


as well as physical ones from the catering team...


...with souvenirs & prizes....


everyone took home one like this...


& everyone agreed on this - we should do this more often. it's hard work but it paid off in full.

i think my kid would love that too. but sometimes i am afraid to involve my kid in too many things...too many demands on his time :(

hi pearlie,

yes, it was held at a playing field in a housing area. no problem getting approval from the residents' committee as a lot of our church members stay there.

beng,

there are no kids' involvement, other than to turn up & have a good time. the sunday sch committee did all the organization.
