Every year, as the student ministries coordinator at Windham Christian Academy, I present a challenge to our entire school body. Instead of giving their teachers a Christmas gift, we ask that the students take the amount of money they would have spent on us, pool it together school wide and put it toward a mission project of some sort. this year our goal was three chemical 'camp' type porto-potties and 2000 Gospel tracts for Gospel for Asia. (Visit this very reputible mission here: http://www.gfa.org/ ) So, to promote this project, LOL did a special routine at the end of it's regular show when they performed for their fellow WCA students today. Kindergarten through high school were present, and we ended the chapel time like this;
CHOIR: Hums tune of 'Little Drummer Boy" As they hum, a procession begins:
Sam, acting very dignified, leads with a chamber pot. Cutter follows juggling toilet brushes, then Andrei juggling plungers, then three dancers waving 15 feet of toilet paper streamers.
CHOIR: "Here's your Christmas gift, Ba-rum-bum-bum-bum. A brand new toilet for your bum-bum-bum-bum. (Amanda turns and shakes her booty during the 'bum-bum-bum-bum part)
Some Gospel tracts to read, ba -rum-bum-bum-bum (Andrei pulls out a magazine and begins to read)
While you are going pee ba-rum-bum-bum-bum (Sam and Andrei suddenly have a look of panic and sprint off stage to the boys' bathroom)
Put the seats down, boys, ba-rum-bum-bum-bum.... bum-bum-bum-bum... bum-bum-bum-bum... When you're done."
Nothing like Junior High humor. One Grandmother said it was the best thing she had ever seen, and wrote a check for $100 for our project. We have exceeded our goal, and may be able to provide sanitation to four families rather than three!
