Puppet Team
Learns About God and Family
 Austin Cayton, a member of the United Methodist Church in
Hermitage, Tennessee, received his God and Family award in
November 2005 and shared what he had learned with his puppet
team.
Although he was recognized by both his church and Pack, it was
his presentation to his puppet team that Austin enjoyed the
most.
Austin is involved in a puppet
ministry. His puppet team practices every Sunday evening during
the winter months and attends a training seminar and competition
in the spring. They performed at the Donelson Senior Citizen
Annual Labor Day picnic, the Church Fall Party, the Children’s
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service, and the McKendree Manor
Senior Citizen Residential and Nursing Home. Their performances
are to music and the young people operate their puppets to move
to the music. Austin has two puppets: Mr. Italiano and Grandpa.
It was during the devotion time that Austin shared what he had
learned about the God and Family program. He explained the steps
to making a pizza and told how pizza related to families. They
also enjoyed a pizza party together.
This
is the second of the God and Country awards Austin has earned.
His service project for the God and Me award involved asking the
Sunday School classes at his church to contribute money for the
soldiers. He collected about $250 and then purchased items they
had requested and mailed it to them.
