We had a summer festival at the church the other evening. They had booths out in the parking lot with various foods (tacos, banana bread, okonomiyaki, watermelon, etc.), games for the kids, a BB-gun shooting range set up in the gym, and a family history exhibit set up on the second floor. At the end they gave sparklers to all the kids, like we do in America for the 4th of July.
The family history exhibit was really cool. The other office elders made some awesome display boards, and we used some other display pictures that were already in the church, and we set up an adjacent room with a projector and a playlist of family history videos on repeat. We had some really cool conversations about family history. As much as I love stories, I hadn't thought much about how many cool stories we find just looking up our own ancestors. :D
