AME Term4 is underway!

AME Ministry just kicked off the 1st week for Term 4: Giving Heart this past saturday. Everyone was excited to be there, especially the newcomers!

We started the day with a brief introduction and a discussion of what it means to have a Giving Heart...and how we intend to practice our Giving Heart to each other. The first thing we did to try to do that is to hold a Secret Santa over the whole 7 week program! We have a secret recipient who we are going to write a letter of encouragement to, and give a small thoughtful gift to, every single week until the last week.

Soo, our AME founder and teacher holding a "Secret Santa" stocking. I wonder what she gets next week?

After all that, we played some games to break the ice!

Dina sharing laughs with friends while the game rules are being explained

Jina, the Dancing Queen, in a game of Telephone Charades

Of course, after all the fun and games, we have actual music to play

A quartet playing Tchaikovsky

Another quartet, getting their classical music groove on

It was a great first week! Come back again next week and see what happened for the 2nd week!
