The time and place were May 7th at New Danville Mennonite School. Jen and I had arrived early to scout out the stage where our team, team Alpha, would be presenting a few mimes for the chapel serves. Now the rest of the team was arriving and I went out to meet them and guide them to the large gym that was also used for their chapel services. We didn’t have a lot of time left before the chapel would start, so after practicing one of the four songs we would be doing we headed to the bathrooms to quickly put on our mime paint.

When we got back to the gym the kids, preschool through elementary, were already arriving. As they came in we interacted with them giving out mime balloons and a few of us played a silly game of “hide and seek”.

Then it was time to start. As on of the teachers introduced us we filed up on stage and took our positions for the first song. The presentation went by like a blur, but it went very well considering how little time we had before time to prepare (all the glory to God!). it was hot up on stage under all the bright lights and there was sweat glistening on top of our mime paint by the time we filed off stage.

As one of the teachers ended the chapel serves we all made an archway for the kids to walk through and gave out lots of high fives as they left to go to their different class rooms. Over all it was a very good outreach.
