Every year, my church family puts on a harvest party for a low income school(s) where the kids can come with their parents and play games and get way more candy than they will ever need. This year, my awesome cluster was in charge of face painting and tattoos at one of the schools.
They did a great job - even when the requests were completely bizarre. "I want a mustache and," pointing to different parts of his face, "a kiss mark here and kiss mark here and a kiss mark here."
Between the group of us, we managed to decorate faces and hands on several hundred children, all within the space of an hour and a half, and not make any permanent messes in the classroom.
Watching adult, high school, and middle school small groups come together to pull off this kind of event is amazingly fun and a great reminder that - whether people have been here for twenty years or two weeks - our church family really is just that, a family.
