Kid's Kitchen Soup!

On Monday, June 9 our chefs created two tasty, vegetable soups in Kids Kitchen. Our special guest was Kathy who works at our very own Pogue’s Run. The kids were split into two groups. One group stayed at the LYN House while the other group headed to First Free Methodist Church to bake some rolls. At the LYN House kids listened to Kathy explain the different parts of a soup and discussed what vegetables they would add. Next it was time to chop the celery, tomatoes, four different peppers, onions, carrots, green beans, zucchini, and squash. The first group then added their soup ingredients and also some rice. Time to switch! The second group listened to Kathy and got to do some chopping of their own, but they added noodles to their soup.
While the soup was getting hot and the rolls were baking we made our way to the garden to have a devotional. One of the many passages that we read was, “So I took the small scroll from the hand of the angel, and I ate it! It was sweet in my mouth.” Revelation 10:10. Each passage touched on the idea that the word of God is sweet like honey. Kids went around sharing why they think this comparison was made. A common theme discussed was that honey and sweet treats are special and make us happy, and God is important to us and makes us feel wonderful. We made our way back to the LYN House where the kids set the tables with napkins, bowls, cups, and spoons, and we prayed over the meal that was prepared by the kids. The first soup we tasted was the one with rice, and once that was devoured we ate the soup with noodles. While enjoying our meal we shared our opinions on the two vegetable soups and enjoyed our time with our friends.

Devotion time!
