Sunday Picnic

Friday afternoon, we had gone in to talk with one of the pastors at my local church and received permission to set up an information table at the church picnic and "do something creative." Being us, that "something creative" was planned on Sunday afternoon, when I pulled my sister out of her room to brainstorm. But, I think that it worked out well!

We talked with a few people at the table - and directed a lot more towards the name tag table! - and gave out probably half a dozen pieces of literature. Eventually, we decided to get a little more hands on with things and started wandering around the picnic and handing out pieces of chalk.

Stick figures seem to be our signature "thing."

This time we drew 274 large stick children to represent the 274 American kids who are trafficked within the US each and every day. 

And, like last time, the figures got people talking.

For the first time (as far as I know) that anything like this has happened at the church picnic, I would have to say that it was a success. :) We like it when people start talking.
