7th Street's Sunday School Banner

Lord you're holy was the theme that 7th Street did. The drama team called Remnant did sign language to "Lord You're Holy." The group's leader read Psalm 18:1-3...

I will love thee, O Lord, my strength. Psalm 18:1

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:2

I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. Psalm 18:3

Psalm 18:2 is the main verse that was on the banner. They received 3rd place for most in attendance. They also received 3rd place for most youth under 18 in attendance and 2nd place for their skit.

First Columbus' Sunday School Banner

First Columbus CBC had a wonderful skit. They had a lady and their pastor talking about God creating the world. Then they had a song called "God's Painting" and they showed people being saved then going to heaven. At the end they had these signs that they held up, but it didn't make anything. A lot of people felt bad for them because they were holding the signs wrong. But at the end of the song when it talked about the painting being finished they turned the signs and made one huge picture of Jesus' face. It was so awesome.

The pictures of the people are members of their church that has passed away. The picture that the hand is painting around is of a man that attended their church that had recently passed away. This was a great way to honor those people that had went on to be with the Lord.

Russell's Sunday School Banner

Russell's skit was about Paul and Silas. It was a really great skit. Also Nathan the guy who does sign language read almost the whole chapter. Most people I think was surprised because I don't think they knew who could talk. He did a wonderful job. And yet again I can't remember the song they used. This is definitely a sign that I'm getting OLD!

Hayport Road's Sunday School Banner

Hayport Road was another church that I really loved their skit. They had some church members sitting around having a Bible study. And they started to pray and this guy dressed like the devil or a demon (he was in a black robe and had a hood on) was walking around them. He started talking to people one at a time trying to get them to give up or not do things that God called them to do. After this the person would scream really loud, "I'm in the Lord's Army, pass the ammo." The ammo was a Bible. At the end of the skit a woman started to walk away but she ran back to the Bible study group and screamed, "I'm in the Lord's Army, pass the ammo." It was a really great skit.

Also a young man from their church was called to be a missionary. He said he didn't know where God wanted him to go but he would go where God told him. This was exciting news to me though because we have missionaries in other countries but they are people from that country that we support. So for us to have someone called to the mission field is really wonderful, it has been a while since we had someone from the States in our association called.

North Moreland's Sunday School Banner

On the Monday before the Sunday School Rally I actually knew whose banner this was and what their skit was about. I was told to keep it from everyone else. The person who told me, also said they would get me one of their t-shirts for the Sunday School Rally. The verse is from James 3:6...

And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. James 3:6

The whole skit revolved around these people calling one another on the phone and telling that they saw their pastor in a certain part of town. Of course the story kept getting bigger and bigger, but the story wasn't true he was visiting a new family that lived their. They also had this guy from their church dress up like this giant monster tongue. At the end, their pastor had this giant Bible and chased the monster tongue from the church. It was so funny.

North Moreland ended up receiving 3rd place for their skit. They also received 1st in most in attendance, growth by percentage, and best theme. They received 2nd place for most under 18 in attendance and 2nd place in banner vote. Below is a photo of the monster tongue.

Reedville's Sunday School Banner

For the life of me I can't remember the song that they used. I know they used their puppets to do their skit and they told the story of Zacchaeus. I remember that Jesus and others walked around the church and Jesus went to the stage and got the Zacchaeus puppet and walked around carrying the puppet, but as I said I can't remember the song. I should have wrote it down. I do remember it was a Bill Gaither song.

Highland Bend's Sunday School Banner

For only having a week or so to make this banner I think the lady who made it done a wonderful job. She quilted the whole thing. I love how Jesus' hands are in the middle. During their presentation they sung "Jesus Loves Me" and "Little Is Much." They also told a little about their church and the banner.
