Alpha’s outreach at Bethany EC happened somewhat bizarrely, originally Alpha had a different outreach, but that outreach cancelled. So because Alpha hadn’t had an outreach yet we got the outreach Beta had. The outreach was on October 31st and was a safe Halloween alternative. We got to the church and put on paint. After we put on paint we spent time stroll miming with the kids, it was fun to spend time with the kids and just mess around while stroll miming. We then began our presentation after all the kids got there.

Our presentation, the best way to describe it was from our perspective it went terrible. We messed up several songs, however overall the message got across. We heard that several of the mom’s were crying because the mimes which surprised us as we thought it went terrible. That shows that what we think may be terrible, God can actually use for good.

After the presentation, we started doing facepainting, stroll miming, and a workshop for the kids. The kids loved everything, and their enthusiasm for the workshop was awesome. They were so eager to learn and actually they did awesome at the workshop. As the evening went on the kids began to leave and we took the paint off and headed home. Overall it was a fantastic outreach.
