This is the last Sunday for Kingdom Kids for the year. It's crazy to think that it's almost the end of the year already. Please pray that lots of kids would come and hear the truth! It's been a great semester so far. The PBU students who help every week--led by Neil--have been in charge of the Bible lessons every week. They have done a fabulous job!!! The theme of the semester has been that we live in a broken world and there is a rescuer coming to fix it. Last week we met the rescuer--a tiny baby who is God and man. This week that rescuer will be grown up and will die for the sins of the world. What a powerful message--the only message that can change lives! The PBU students head home for Christmas break and then we will begin Kingdom Kids again at the end of January. Please pray that those of us who live here would keep the relationships strong with the kids even during the break.
Cornerstone is going well on Tuesdays and Thursdays after school. There are at least ten kids that come consistantly. The theme this week is cooperation and the Bible lesson on Tuesday was about the first churches in Acts. Wow, I want our church to be like those churches. Pray that us and the kids would really get that. The kids are practicing for a play that they will put on for the Christmas Eve service. It would be great to see lots of parents come to see their kids perform.
Wednesday night youth group is now called Crossover I have just been informed. It sounds like the high school group has a solid group of students, but there are only about four junior highers who have been coming. It's awesome that there are actually more leaders than kids so everyone gets a lot of attention, but we would love to see this group grow. There's been some great Bible teaching about the resurrection and the power of Jesus over death.
In Celebration, we have been learning about some of the people in the Bible who God used in big ways for His glory. It's crazy that these people were just ordinary people like us who said yes to God working in their lives. On December 20, we will have a kids choir composed of kids from Kingdom Kids singing some Christmas songs. This is another great way to get to know some parents who will hopefully come see their kids sing. Pray that God is working big time in the hearts of these kids!
