The closura for Vacation Bible School took place en la Misa en Español a las 10:30 am. The church was decorated with the crafts the children made, and we also had a table in front of the lectern with even more crafts on display. The teens did a dramatic reading of the gospel, and Peter Wright, the president of the youth group Luz de Mañana, gave a reflection. The different classes gave presentations just before the Offertory. Each class sang a couple of songs, all involving hand motions, of course! At the end of the service they all received their certificates. Certificates are very important in Panamá. Of course, this was all followed with another Festive Coffee Hour, which the Lovely Mona and I skipped, as we were exhausted, and we still had to go to the music store to buy my new guitar.

Los Pequeños sing a song about how their telephone connection to God doesn't require a phone number or a calling card, just their hearts. A very cute song!
Los Niñas y Niños and their teacher Denzel Arthur singing a song about creation with LOTS of hand motions.
Los Intermedios singing "Con Cristo en mi Barca todo marcha feliz porque conmigo está."
Los Jóvenes didn't sing; they answered questions about the Bible. This bunch seems to want more singing.

¡Ay,Los Pequeños! Tia Jane here is clucking at the Total Cuteness. Love the song, too.
And I continue to be impressed with young Denzel. Lotsa good energy. (Don't I still sound Californian.)
I too am glad to see Mrs. Doyle out and about! Such lovely pictures of such lovely people.
P.S. Hey Padre, do you be growing that beard?
