For the fall quarter the elementary kids studied some stories from the Old Testament. They learned about the Isrealite's exile from Jeruselum, Job and Ezekiel and the dry bones. An activity one week was to do a TV show and interview Job. As we were doing it, a lightbulb went off in the kid's and teacher's heads. We should do this for the rest of the church! So the idea was born. The kids had a great time helping to write the script and extend the guest list to include all the stories we studied. We called it Gathered 'Round the Table with Simon, since our curriculim is called Gathered 'Round. Simon was a perfect host for our talk show. His guests included, Job, Ezekiel, Dry Bones, two Isrealite children and God. The Youth provided the commercial breaks for our show. They had commercials for our church and Ezekiel's Dry Bones Lotion.

The audience enjoyed the show and it was a good review of our quarter. The kids loved planning and performing the show.
