IS IT SPRING YET????

Behind the Backyard Fence
February 7, 2014

Iced trees in our backyard... Brr! 

IS IT SPRING YET????

It’s cold. There is snow and ice on the ground. And I’m trying to write an Easter and VBS program. A little sunshine and temperatures out of the single digits might help to inspire me.

We’ve been keeping busy this winter. We took time off in December as three of our members were involved in church performances. Hope everyone is having a great start to 2014. One month down already!

 Last week we literally went through hundreds of songs trying to ‘update our repertoire.’ We have been lining up programs for this year and working on the Fellowship of Christian Puppeteers national conference in July.

Kristofer is busy making new puppets. Love Reached is working on new songs and a new video. I’m thinking about green grass, tulips and chocolate bunnies.

The characters will be coming out from behind the fence soon to begin their adventures.

Kristofer in our "ball pit"...
Hey, it said "Ages 3 AND up!"
Something new for us…we will be involving our “kid” audience in more of our programs. (See the picture of Kristofer in the ball pit for a sneak peak of one of our games.) We gave this a try at a church in November and it was a ‘hit.’  We’re planning other exciting “kid-volvement” ideas for this year also.

So…on with the writing and planning. Maybe if I crank up the heat I can pretend that it’s warm and sunny and spring is on the way!

Keeping warm,

Kendra
