Uphill idealist

This graphic really has a way of cutting to the chase in the topic of race. This Sunday I'm going to be leading a combined worship and Sunday school for a group of grade school Lutheran youth. We're singing some standard songs, like "This little light of mine", "I've got the joy, joy, joy.", and of course "Jesus loves the little children - all the children of the world." After seeing the above graphic, I think we should sing the song like this... "Jesus loves the little children all the children of the world, red and yellow black and white we're all human in God's sight. Jesus loves all the humans in the world."

These are the photos of the Unity banner I've been working on with a group of 1-3rd graders in a after-school program. This banner is a mixed media project involving fabric, pencil, marker, sewing, and fabric paint. It is approximately 4 feet by 10 feet in size. The project was individual and well as a group project, giving the children the chance to design their own square all about them and to work together on the descriptive words. Hope you enjoy the pictures. It was a big, but worthwhile project.
