Turning the Tables

Every Sunday, we take time in the service to talk to the children and youth. They then collect our canned goods for Clemson Community Care while the ushers collect the offertory.

We call this time Together Time. Sometimes, the service leader will share a story or a book. Perhaps they have an object to discuss. Other times, the service leader has a conversation with the children. This particular Together Time in this blog post highlighted, we let the children present to us.

Max, Alexander and Adam all shared a significant figure they studied for Black History Month. Each talked for a few minutes on each person. Adam discussed Neil Degrasse Tyson, the American astrophysicist, cosmologist, author and science communicator. Alexander, of course, talked about a soccer player: Tim Howard. He has been a star player despite having Tourette Syndrome. And Max discussed James Herman Banning, an early pilot.

Not only did they all talk about pioneers in their fields, but it was great to see such great presentations from our children! Nicely done, guys!
