Back2Basics Tonight!

Tonight we are going to have a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner here at the church at 5:45 pm.
This means that we will have Back2Basics as soon as the dinner is over. I am thinking that it will be a little after 7 pm. We are expecting almost 300 people!! That is awesome!
After the dinner and our tummies are full, we will be covering the "tug of war."
This is the conflict we, as Christians feel between what we should do and what actually choose to do. So I guess this lesson is about choices. And, who is it that helps us with our choices? What does that Bible mean when it says convict? What is conviction? Guiding? What are the roles of the Holy Spirit?
Part of the lesson will come from Genesis and the choices that Adam and Eve made. Also, Galatians 5:17. And finally, Exodus 19:6, 1 Peter 2:9, 1 Cor. 6:9-11. These will be the leap from the idea of the roles of the Holy Spirit and our choices to what God has provided for us so that we can talk aobut how God cares about how we live day in and day out.
Next week there is no Wednesday night services.

Saved By Grace Games

Last night, we played the games that the kids had made the week before. We were covering what it means to be saved (accepting Jesus as your Savior) and what it means to be lost (not living consistently like you have Jesus as your Savior).
It was pretty interesting to see the games that the kids came up with. They could use three cones, 6 balls and/or 5 hula hoops for their games. I think the kids had a good time during their "free" play. : ]

Three weeks ago, the kid's were learning the Lord's Prayer. I wanted to make it interesting so this is what they had to do:
They had to take 30 minutes and come up with a skit, from scratch, that had all the words from the Lord's Prayer in it. They couldn't be in order and the story was supposed to make sense.
The following posts are the result. : ]

Two Wednesday nights ago the kids were learning a verse that I really like. We were learning John 15:14. Here is the audio file of them yelling it out!

Yesterday was awesome!
We started our new kid's service (New Families Welcome!) called Father's House. It was fast-paced! It was hip. It was a lot of drama and music and fun! I loved it.
Our actors did an awesome job! Danika ran media for us and did an awesome job too!
I will have to post some pictures soon.
Then we went straight into Deeper. Deeper is a way for kids to learn even deeper stuff about each other and our God. It is small group oriented with a corporate worship time for Kindergarten through Fifth grades. I loved to see the modeling of the 5th graders for our Kindergartners. And it was also cool that our 5th graders can learn from our Kindergartners. Then, they split back up into small groups and "break it down."
Good stuff.
I was talking to someone today and we were talking about how much fun it was and also the sweat we put into it. It made me think about an old Karate instructor I use to have when I was in college. He always wanted to put a sign up that said "You sweat in here so you don't bleed out there!" I always liked that. This ties in, just hang on. I was thinking how we practice and give our VERY best so that we can learn about God and be prepared out in the world to really show others who our God is. We don't have to bleed out there. Jesus already did that for us.
Pretty cool, huh?
