Each Wednesday during Adventure Week, there are two important things of note. The first is that it is “Bring A Friend” night. Each child who attended Tuesday night is asked to bring a friend to Adventure week with them. Last night, we had 134 friends attend, so the total for the night was 882. The other important thing about the night is that it is also Salvation Night. The children are taught that Jesus died for our sins, and they are given the opportunity to accept Christ as their Savior. How exciting that 882 children had the opportunity to hear the message of salvation! Usually, a count is given of the number of children who came to Christ, so I will try to find that out and post tomorrow.
Here are some pictures of our newly decorated church! The pictures are linked so if you click on them, you can see them enlarged.
And, here’s what the flyer said from last night:
Courage Kingdom! Night 3Main Point: I will have courage to forgive others!
Bible Verse: “Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9 NLT
Bible Story: Jesus died for our sins, found in the book of Matthew. God forgave me, I should forgive others.Tonight in the Bible Study room, your child learned about forgiveness. Tre and Deuce lied to the Boss about breaking into the park. They said that everything was Ehud’s idea. The Boss believed them and demoted Ehud. Ehud was upset with Tre and Deuce, but she remembered that the Bible says we should forgive others because Jesus forgave us. She got out her Bible and told the children the story of Jesus. How Jesus came to earth, lived a sinless life, and then died to take the punishment for our sins. We do not deserve to be forgiven, but God forgave us anyway. Ehud decided to forgive Tre and Deuce because Jesus forgave her.
In the Clash for Courage Kingdom, Wally Watson started off the night with a plan to save Courage Kingdom, but needed the sidekicks’ help. Unfortunately, the sidekicks accidentally messed up his plan. So Wally became angry that they could not pull off one simple plan! Wally then decided he was better off coming up with a plan to stop the Queen without them. The sidekicks were hurt by Wally’s tirade, but they still wanted to save Courage Kingdom, so they went off to try and stop the Queen. Since they are only sidekicks, they did not have much success. They needed a hero! Meanwhile, Wally was sulking all to himself when Coach found him and asked Wally to forgive the sidekicks for messing up his plan. Wally asked why he should do that?! Coach told the story of Jesus, how he died so God could forgive us of our sins. Since God forgave us, we should forgive others. Your children cheered Wally on as he forgave the sidekicks, and then later asked them to forgive him as well. But the Queen and her minions are still planning to destroy Courage Kingdom…so the adventure continues.
Remind your children to have courage to forgive others. We will see you tomorrow!
Tomorrow I’ll post some pictures from the show.
