MISSIONS CONVENTION 2009 - International Game Night - April 29, 2009

We concluded our Missions Convention with a fun night. About 60 children entered our Fellowship Center to play games kids play around the world. Throughout the evening, two groups of kids played games such as Japanese Tag, cricket, European Handball and Main Bailing Tin. During halftime we took time to hear from God's Word and also meet 3 young missionaries who serve in Nigeria (Elijah, Jiilian and Emily Black). The kids had a great time. In fact, sonme of them did not want to leave! This was our third year hosting this event. Next year we will try to find some new games that kids love to play around our world.

MISSIONS CONVENTION 2009 - Trip around the World - April 26, 2009

For the 18th time in SGT history, the children's ministries hosted our annual Trip around the World. This year, we were privileged (sort of) to have a new pilot GRANDPA LOU! Our Customs agents and Security Guards greeted the kids, stamped their tickets and passports as they entered Missionary Airlines Flight 316. Grandpa Lou greeted the kids from his cockpit, gave instructions and eventually the plane took off (by using some imagination). Snacks were given out, turbulence then occurred (with Grandpa Lou upside down on his video) and we eventually landed. Our "passengers" then headed to visit the countries of Belize, Malaysia and Kazakhstan. After our "tours" the passengers returned to the "plane" and prizes were given away by way of numbers on each passport.

It was a great night!

MISSIONS CONVENTION 2009 - Sidwalk Sunday school - April 26, 2009

At 8:30 am & 12:15 pm to kick off our Missions Convention, our children's ministry along with our Kids in Missions students hosted a Sidewalk Sunday school. All across our world, Sidewalk Sunday school is a popular method in reaching children who ever have the privilege of going to church. We helped re-create a Sidewalk Sunday school in Mexico City. Our Kids in Missions dressed up as clowns and ministered by way of drama, music and puppets. We also did pledges, played games, were taught object lessons and had a visit by Grandpa Lou. We also saw a video of a Sidewalk Sunday school program by way of youtube!

RESURRECTION CELEBRATION - April 12, 2009

On Sunday morning, April 12th at 8:30 am, 10:15 am & 12:15 pm, about 50 kids during each service enetred our Gym ready to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The progtram consisted of object lessons, Mr. TV screen, our Bible Time Machine (we had Peter visit us from Bible Times), a craft and the debut of our brand spanking new Grandpa Lou. The kids had a blast learning about Jesus, decorating their new "He Is Risen" hats and absolutely loved Mr. TV screen. This program has been a tradition since 2003 and we look forward to 2010 which will be April 4th, 2010!
