My opinion

Wow, I can't keep up with you ladies!!!

Here is what I think, but again, this is just an opinion, and maybe it will help in developing the final product.

In the morning, as far as I remember, the churches will have all of their classes filled with either childrens' or adult groups. We might be better off doing an early Sabbath school at our mom's house, that way we can have kids' lesson in English and also an adult Bible study in English. But that's something we can still find out and work on, maybe the church would be willing to set aside a room for that one Sabbath, but then we would probably need a place for adult English lesson too, wouldn't we? So, in my opinion our best bet would be to do Sabbath school at our house, early enough so that we have that little extra time for transportation to the church.

As far as the evening, I am 100% positive, the small children won't be able to sit through the program. I think the older kids should be able to. After all, hopefully the program will be interesting to them, and it won't be as long as a whole church service. So, that would leave Rebekah, Ezra, Levi & new baby. What I was working on is to find out, if Marek and Irma would be back from their mission trip by then. Irma speaks fluently English, and is very good with children. I am almost 100% positive she would be willing to watch the children, with Vladka's help (that's Marek's sister), that way Annette could be a part of the program, and focus on her baby. Then, when their time for participation comes, we could have the small children come back in.

Then, Kamil brought something up about songs in Czech? Come on! He doesn't speak Czech anymore anyway!!! Just kidding. Aah, that's a tough one, I think it would take Johnny more than 10 months to learn those Czech songs. If it was up to me, I would do a slide show with the words translated in Czech, with some pretty nature pictures as a background.

As far as church choice, I'd rather do it in Vojkovice church, just because it's bigger, and the sound system is a lot better there, plus they have more microphones. The thing is, the program is not entirely for our mom, yes, we are flying there for her, and from what i remember, we are doing a Birthday party/ dinner for her, but the program is not only for her, but also for our friends and church members. Otherwise, if it was just for our mom, we could do it in our living room. And most of you are (or were) members at Vojkovice church. Plus, there is no problem for people in Komorni Lhotka to drive to Vojkovice. It's just a matter of maybe 3 miles difference. Not to mention that the parking situation is little better in Vojkovice...

Anyway, so this is what I think about it. Thank you Annette for offering your talent, and I couldn't imagine a better person for this task! (We will still need you to organize the morning kids' class, but for the evening I'd like to see you be able to enjoy the program with all the rest of us)
