Castiron Carousel, a marionette troupe from Portland, presents a play featuring all hand-made marionettes. A question and answer session with the puppeteers will follow the show. This play is written for adults, but children are welcome with their parents. This is an after hours event- the library will close at 5pm and reopen at 5:45 for the show.

I just attended a program at my grandchildren's kindergarten class. They attend a Christian school in Centralia. The teacher is getting them to memorize scripture, the preamble to the Constitution, the Ten Commandments and other information. What really caught my eye, was the flag salute. First, we did the Pledge to the American Flag. Then they recited a pledge to the Christian flag (something new to me) that was hung in a superior position to the American Flag. A couple of thoughts came to my mind - (1) the American flag is always to be positioned higher than other flags displayed and (2) pledging to a Christian flag would see to be somewhat of a worship of idol. It seems that some Christian denominations avoid the American flag pledge because "nothing is superior to God", thus a "Christian Flag" (which I know doesn't represent ALL of Christianity would be somewhat idolatry. Can anyone provide me with additional information of this?
