Gavin aka Jesus

Last Wednesday it was the Kindergarten class's turn to lead the mass. All of the kids did a great job! It was their first time getting up in front of the whole school and speaking. Gavin was Jesus and the other two of his friends were the Pharisees. It was hard to hear them. His teacher left the portable microphone in the classroom.


It went something like this:


Pharisee 1: Jesus, we know you are honest and say the truth. You teach what God wants.
Pharisee 2: Does God's law say it is right to pay taxes to Caesar?

Jesus: Show me the coin to pay for the taxes.

Jesus: If you have this coin, you must pay the taxes. Whose face is on the coin?


Pharisees: Caesar's

Jesus: Give to Caesar what is Caesar's. Give to God what is God's.

If you look beyond his obsession with the sleeve of his gown (I'm glad Riley did too!) he did a great job...as I said before they all did!

Here Father Jerry was asking them about when Jesus' birthday was. Gavin acted like he didn't know. I was surprised. After Mom made a birthday cake for Jesus a couple years ago at Christmas...and we discussed it last Christmas. I guess he thought the birthday cake was just for him to stick his face in.

They had donuts and juice after mass today for donating LOTS of pennies for Guatemala. Maddox didn't have school today, but everyone was invited that attended mass. He hopped right in and sat with Patton and his big buddies.
