Children's Devotional Meeting

Last Sunday was 'Words in Harmony' (Monthly devotional meeting organised by the Baha'i Community of Holdfast Bay, in SA.). Each month we have a specific theme on which we read sacred writings of all Faiths related to that theme.
And this month's theme was children.
So we decided to have the children attending the BESS (Baha'i children classes in public schools), to participate in the program. They actually prepared the whole program. They chaired the meeting, did the readings, sang songs, played music and perform a short skit.
They helped in the decoration and setting up of the snacks and refreshments etc...
The children was aged 6 to 13 year old, and there was around 15 to 20 children in the program.

The program was really beautiful. We had a great outcome, the hall was crowed with the regular group of people who usually attend 'Words in Harmony', plus the friends and parents of the children who were performing the program on that day. The hall was really crowded!! We had to get extra chairs from the store room to accommodate the guests.
The children were really just precious and they did their program so professionally.
We had a lovely time and everyone seemed to have really enjoyed the program.
I reckon more and more responsibilities should be given to the children, they sure did showed us how capable they are when given the right channel and tools to express themselves!!
Can't wait to do it all over again!!!

Of course, little Mona was excited to see all those children at the devotional meeting, and just wouldn't sit still. During the whole program, she was standing in front of the kids that were preforming, as if she wanted to be a part of the program too. She got really happy and enthusiastic when the children started to sing, and she clapped and sang with them too!! lol... It was really funny and cute to see her.
I think she is going to be one of those kids that is always first to participate in all the Baha'i programs!! (sounds familiar!!! lol)

Anyway, here are some pics of Mona getting ready to go and Mona at the devotional meeting.
Enjoy...
