PRETEEN CHALLENGE 'ALIEN ADVENTURES" - March 28, 2009

It was a warm Saturday afternoon at noon. While many preteen aged kids may have been at a park playing baseball who who knows where, we had 10 preteens at Smithtown Gospel Tabernacle coming to church fpr one reason, to get slimed and messed up with all sorts of yucky stuff. Our theme was "Alien Adventures" and some of the games we played were Flying Saucers, ET Eaters, Take me to your Liter & Capture the Alien. Our last game was called "Wheel of Stunts" where the kids had to spin a whell and find out if it would land on Slime, Goo, Beans, Pie or Kneel. Here are the definitions:

SLIME - Green Slime poured over their heads

GOO - A mixture of flour, water and green food coloring poured over there heads

BEANS - A can of black beans poured over there heads

PIE - A cream pie in their face

KNEEL - They had to kneel in macaroni and beans and have the same poured over them

The kids left messy but had a blast!

ROYAL RANGERS PINEWOOD DERBY - March 27, 2009

"Gentleman! Start your engines!" Well, not really engines but how about Pinewood Derby Cars! There was a huge turnout at the SGT Felowship Center as our Royal Rangers Outpost 149 hosted their annual Outpost Pinewood Derby. The evening started with a great devotional by Pastor Rich Collingridge, our Missions Pastor. Then...the racing began as cars flew down the wooden track with each of the boys watching intently from the sidelines hoping for thier car to win the race.

A special thanks to Commander Artie Straus and all of our faithful Commnders who helped make this event a HUGE success!

DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER??? - March 22, 2009

On Sunday morning at 8:30 am & 12:15 pm, Kidz for Christ became a set for a Game Show for kids, "Do you Know the answer?" Our kids were quizzed throughout the event from lessons they learned at Kidz for Christ from February 15 & 22 as well as March 1 & 15. The teams were Orange vs. Red.

Our game show host WADE WINALOT began our game show with the "Snake Can Game." When kids opened cans, a springy snake popped out and they had to answer a question. If they opened the one can with a flower, they were eligible to win the grand prize...a monopoly board game. The games moved onto a brand new game "Wheel of questions." Kids had to spin a giant spinner and see if it landed on Today's Life Story, Bible lesson, memory verse, object lesson or video. If it landed on video, the kids had to watch a big screen and watch as one of the SGT pastors asked them a question on video. The next game was a take-off of the old 1960's/ 1970's game show "Let's Make a deal." It's called 3 boxes. Kids had to choose box #1, #2 or #3. Under each box was either a question, a prize or a can of beans. The last three games were Bible Quiz Master, Fill in the blank (memory verse) and Multiple guess.

The kids had a blast and everyone walked out with a prize and a Kidz for Christ shaker as they rooted for their team. Check out a video below!!
