Well 2 of our 4 Summer Camps are over and we are starting the month of July. This means that we are halfway through with this Summer. It is flying by! A great summer so far, and I am learning so much this summer from being with these kids. It never ceases to amaze me how much God can continually teach you about life through these kids.
We just finished a great week at camp with our 3rd-5th graders in Campbellsville, KY. I saw God work in ways that I didn't expect. One of our days I could sense that God was about to do something big, so I kept praying and began texting others in our church to intercede for our kids. That night I saw something big for sure, but it wasn't what I was expecting. I was thinking that God might save a child or something like that, but instead God began to free some of these kids from the burdens that they carry in life. May God continue that work in the lives of our children!
This month in Kidstuf we start a new series in the book of Acts. I'm pumped! I've been studying Acts for the past 3 months, so this is going to be fun for me to teach. It's all about the Church and what happened in those first years.
Here is what they are learning this week...
Scripture: Acts 2; 4:1-22; 6:1-7
Life Application: I can serve in my church
Memory Verse: Acts 22:15 “...for you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard.”
Prayer for the Nations: South Korea
Since this is all about the Church, I want you to think about how you serve the church. In what ways do you serve? Teach? Lead? First Impressions? Etc?
Now I want you to think about how your kids can assist you in your service. I've seen kids help hand our bulletins. I've seen kids help their parents get ready to teach. How can you show them that they should be serving the church?
Maybe you don't serve anywhere. If you would like to start thinking about it let me know. I would love to talk about your gifts or put you in touch with someone else who can. I want you to live a fulfilled live in Christ and using your gifts is part of that kind of life.
Don't forget about KidzDays in the Glade (July 9-13). Register at any info center in the church or online till July 1st!
