Kids' Sunday

On May 16, NHCC held its annual "Kids' Sunday" worship, led by the children of the church.  Here are a few images.

The theme of the day was "Child of God," the point being that all of us are God's children.  This was on the cover of the day's worship bulletin. child.jpg (66320 bytes)
Much of the music was provided by the kids themselves. 771_piano.jpg (78793 bytes)

The kids (of various ages) read from the Holy Scriptures. 799_read.jpg (39997 bytes)813_read.jpg (47497 bytes)

There was, of course, some adult participation as well.  Here Russell Kaplan, longtime member of the congregation, leads the Offertory Anthem.  The song is one he wrote entitled "Everyone," in line with the day's theme. 854_guitar.jpg (91845 bytes)
Here the kids (and a few helpers) lead the congregation in the day's final hymn. 868_hymn.jpg (82431 bytes)
After worship, there was time for refreshments and a bit of fun the Great Hall.
