GS ceremony
We did school this morning and then I got stuff ready for GS. We were having an investiture/rededication ceremony. Two new girls were investing and one was bridging. The rest were just rededicating. Renee’s husband made the nice candleholders you see and we picked up the bridge from the GS unit (I don’t think you can see that in my pic.)
First we ate our potluck dinner, so many good recipes (and food that my kids ate) that I have some new food to try on them soon. The girls had their fans that they had decorated earlier so they could say the GS motto and law. We had our investees and bridger do their thing and then started on the candle lighting.
The girls each picked a line from the GS law to say, Grace had ‘honest and fair’ and Bethany had ‘friendly and helpful’.
They said the law and then lit the candle for that part.
Here’s ‘future Daisy’ Hannah.
After the lighting of the candles it was time to share a song or poem. Bethany said her Psalm poem and Grace sang ‘Light of the world’. Then they played around while we cleaned up. It was the best ceremony yet!
I showed my DH your pictures and he said I had the one candle holder set backwards. Oh well! If he had come he could have set it up right…oooh I should have told him that! LOL! He so hates meeting new people (such an introvert!)
I’m glad that you liked the ceremony.
Next time we do this I’ll have my stuff together so I can ask for more help. You and your DH were a HUGE help and I really appreciate all you did. Thanks bunches!
