Puppet Ministry a Wonderful Way to Share the Gospel
The new Heartland Christian Academy puppet ministry is reaching out to young and old with the Gospel. Mrs. Plotts and her puppet team more than ten students are preparing to take their stuffed friends and stage to Ponema as an outreach. This expanding ministry started in previous years, but has expanded under Mrs. Plott's direction, with a new stage contributed by the Schussman family. Most of the puppets have come from the Covenant Church in Bemidji, but we have our very first HCA-owned puppet won on ebay!
Snowshoeing in the park
The third through eighth graders had a wonderful "end of quarter reward" for those who had completed their assignments and had no discipline referrals. We went into the woods on snowshoes, fed birds off of heads and hands, identified an animal collection, roasted marshmallows and had a great time playing in the snow. Many thanks to the parent chaperones, our own Mr. Dan Bera who organized the opportunity, and Park Naturalist John Fylpaa for being an awesome snowshoeing guide.
