I found out the number last night – 185. 185 children came to accept Christ as their Savior on Wednesday night. Growing His Kingdom!!
As promised, I have some pictures for you.
Now for the flyer:
Courage Kingdom Night 4Main Point: I will have courage to tell the truth!
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: Stephen tells the truth, found in the book of Acts.Tonight in the Bible Study room, your child learned that it is important to tell the truth no matter what. Tre and Deuce wanted to tell Boss the truth, that Ehud had nothing to do with their escapades, but they knew they would get in trouble if they did! Deuce remembered that Ehud always said, “When in doubt – get your Bible out.” So they went to the book of Acts and told the story of Stephen. Stephen was a Christ follower but there were some religious leaders that didn’t like him. The Bible says God gave wisdom to Stephen and his words were so strong the men couldn’t argue against him. So the men told lies about Stephen to stir up the crowd. But when the people all came against Stephen with these lies, the Bible says he had the courage to tell the truth even though he knew he would be killed. After finishing the story, Deuce and Tre decided to go to the Boss and tell her the truth. The Boss forgave them and told them that working at the park does not mean being perfect, but it does mean having courage to do what is right – including helping others, forgiving others, and telling the truth!
In the Clash for Courage Kingdom, Wally Watson started off the night lying to Mr. Courage about everything that had been happening in the park, because he thought Mr. Courage wouldn’t believe him. Wally then decided to lie to Billy so they could trap Queen Xandra. The sidekicks helped Wally lie, only because they thought it would help save Courage Kingdom. The group sunk further and further into lies until they created quite a mess! Coach found out about all the lies and told Wally he needed to have courage to tell the truth no matter what! Coach reminded Wally that Stephen told the truth even though he would be killed. The children cheered Wally on as he told Mr. Courage the truth. Unfortunately, Mr. Courage did not believe Wally and put him on a leave of absence. Queen Xandra is thrilled, as she continues to work on Plan D…the destruction of Courage Kingdom! Will she succeed?
Remind your children to have courage to tell the truth. We will see you tomorrow!
Tonight, the plan is a little different. Instead of the usual schedule, it is Family Fun Night. Parents will come with their children and spend the evening on the church campus playing games, doing crafts, eating, seeing some exhibits, witnessing the baptism of the children who accepted Christ this week, and then finishing the night with the Clash for Courage Kingdom Show.
I’ll let you know how the show ends!
