Ask The Mayor

Colonial Corners is the name of our program for grades 4-5 here at Colonial Baptist Church. I am the Mayor of this fine little town, and each year we set aside one entire session for "Ask The Mayor." The Citizens (students) can ask any question they have about life, faith or the Bible. I try to take some questions each week, but this is a special day with nothing but kid's questions.

Here were today's questions. These are the questions that were written to me in advance. I took more questions live from the kids but did not get them written down.
