The Kids Carnival will feature face painting and free food.
Face painting, sand art, children’s games and a puppet show will all be featured during a Kids Carnival to be presented at Limeville United Methodist Church (UMC) on Saturday, Sept. 10, from 4 to 6 p.m. All events will take place outdoors in a grassy area behind the church, and there will be no charge for any of the activities. All children in attendance must be accompanied by an adult. “We will have a bounce house, a barrel train ride, carnival-type games, and (congregation members) will present a puppet show at 4:30 and 5:30 p.m.,” said Rachael Woodring, See Kids Carnival pg 3
Youngsters Invited To Make A Joyful Noise BY FRANCINE FULTON
rums, tambourines and bells are just some of the instruments that children will enjoy as part of A Joyful Noise Club, which will begin on Sunday, Sept. 11, at 9:30 a.m. at Parkesburg United Methodist Church (UMC), 411 Main St., Parkesburg. The program, which is open to children ages 5 to 10, is being led by Ashley Radcliff, the church’s music director. “We are going to be playing instruments, listening

to different music and playing along and creating our own music,” Radcliff explained. “I (lead) choirs and all kinds of performing groups. This will be something different. We will explore the idea of music and praise and why we like making music and not be afraid to make noise as opposed to having to get all the notes right.” The new club is open to all children, whether or not they are members at Parkesburg UMC, where the Sunday service begins at 10:30 a.m.
“Parents can drop off their children in the music room, and there is coffee down in the fellowship hall. If they want to hang out, they’re more than welcome,” said Radcliff. Instruments used in the program will include bongos, gathering drums, djembes, congas, steel drums, handchimes, a guitar and boomwhackers. “You just hit them on things. They are great, especially for the younger kids,” Radcliff said of the boomwhackers. “We also have a keyboard, but you don’t have to know how to play the piano.” See A Joyful Noise pg 4
A barrel train ride will be offered.
