As our preschool and kindergarten children continue to learn about Congregational Giving at WCUC, last Sunday they had a hands-on lesson on managing money.  Assisted by several older Middler helpers, stations were set up around the classroom that either cost money or earned money by participating.  Washing a truck earned one coin, babysitting earned another one.  Serving food at the restaurant earned a coin, but buying food cost one.  The children even had to purchase their snacks for two coins each!  Sometimes the lights would go out and a coin would be paid for the electric bill.  The heat bill was paid too.  And all children were invited to share a coin that they earned back with the church.  It was a fun and dynamic lesson about earning, spending and giving away money – just as Jesus taught us!
