what is up with the smiley face balloons...

Sometimes we do the strangest things with our stage designs.
This summer the messages have been on the 10 Commandments.
This week was "Thou shalt not use the Lord's name in vain". Wow! Fun topic to create a stage design around (please note tongue in cheek).
So, Allison and I were actually at the Dollar Store looking for hula hoops (long story).
I just happen to look up at a display of a bouquet of balloons with smiley faces on them. Pointed them out to Allison, who nodded and crossed her fingers over her mouth.
Bingo!
It was simple, fun and to the point.
Plus the children really got a kick out of them, particularly when we handed them out at the end.
