THANKSLIVING SERVICE - November 21 2010

One Sunday before the Thanksgiving holiday, our Kidz for Christ ministry celebrated Thanksliving...no that's not a typo. We celebrated the fact that when you have life in Christ, you celebrate life every day. We have SO much to be thankful for!

Each object lesson taught was all about being thankful. The story of the 10 Lepers was our bible story tha challenged our kids to always be thankful. The event started with our kids making thanksgiving magnets. We concluded the day with a game of BIBLELAND...a huge game board that was in the middle of our gym. this game is similar to the popular board game Candyland.

It was a great day of ministry and we all left being thankful for all that we have!

FALL FUN FEST 2010

Our Fall Fun Fest was a HUGE success! Our Fellowship Center was filled with excited kids, parents and grandparents! Big inflatable rides filled the Fellowship Center, our games were in the conference rooms. Each partiipant had the opportunity to win candy as prizes. Face painting and God's Little Princess were also a big hit as well as each door prize that was handed out. Our busy evening ended with SLIME TIME LIVE - our children's ministry game show where kids had to get questions right in order to get slimed. The smiles on each child's face was priceless as they exited the "Slime Booth" covered in green slime. Pastor Dave had the honor and privilege of dumping slime all over each contestant!

2011 will be here before you know it and we look forward to Fall Fun Fest once again on October 31st. 2011 will be year 20 for this event!!!

Well over 100 children attended our 7th annual Missions Camp which ran during the morning hours of August 9 through 11. This year our camp hosted 4 countries - Puerto Rico, Israel, Belgium and Iran. Our campers learned about the culture from these countries as well as the language spoken. They also rotated throughout the morning by learning drama, puppets and playing International Games such as Cricket, European Handball and Japanese tag. In morning sessions, we had various missionaries share with our campers. Our 3 days concluded with an awesome Closing program featuring our campers doing puppet songs, drama and speaking the native tongue of each country.

DO YOU KNOW THE ANSWER - March 21, 2010

For our second year, Kidz for Christ hosted our ever popular Game Show "Do you Know the Answer" featuring our host, Wade Winalot. Our kids were quizzed on lessons they learned from February 21, 28 & March 7. Our games included the "Snake Can Game", Wheel of Questions", "3 Boxes" and "Fill in the Blank." It was nearly impossible to stump these kids! They all did such a great job when it comes to knowing all the answers.

Be looking for some new game shows this summer at SGT!!

CHILDREN'S WEEK OF PRAYER - January 10-15, 2010

It was the start of a new year, a new decade and hey, what better way to start then with prayer! On Sunday & Tuesday evenings, our kids prayer walked the entire church and school grounds. Every classroom, office and building was covered in prayer and each SCS teacher was extremely appreciative. On Wednesday evening our kids prayed for their schools. On Thursday we lifted up four missionaries we support (The Blacks in Nigeria, The Bracketts in Malaysia, The Doty's in Indonesia and Lee Anne Risk in Mexico). We concluded our awesome week as we gathered and prayed for our country and government. It was a busy yet productive week and we thank God that our kids were blessed to lift each other as well as others they do not know in prayer!
