Sunday, November. 20, 2011

This year's Christmas Musical "Back to the Manger" is becoming very successful. We are learning new dance moves for each song we sing. For the past several Sundays we have practiced and many of us already know our lines. The performance date is December 11th. We can't wait and want you to see it!

Today Ms. Debi G., Ms. Sarah S., and Mr. Evan P., shared with us about kids around the world who don't have much food, water, and other things and that we should all thank God for what we have. Ephesians 5:20 says, "Always give thanks to God for everything".

I just finished reading this link to my blog and decided that posting it here would help hold me accountable and remind all of us that we need to worship each week with the "BIG" church people. Some of you have this down and get your fuel each week, some of us struggle with it. Let's get honest and talk about how we can make this work for each member of our team!

Big Church is Important for KidzTown Leaders

Almost Sleep Over Success

2011-02-05T18:31:00.000-06:00

On January 14, KidzTown offered it's first Almost Sleep Over for the elementary aged kids of Niceville. 87 Kidz attended and participated in the largest almost slumber party in Okaloosa County.

The night began at 6 pm when families were greeted, checked in and kidz were escorted to DownTown KidzTown for the big event. Kidz sported their pj's, carried their sleeping bags, pillows and bibles.

Fun and excitement started the evening with activities for every child. Games of every kind were only a "slide" away. Each child was able to slip down to the second floor on a built in slide where they found everything from video games, to ping pong, board games, cards, twister, and much much more in a festive and exciting environment.

DownTown 101, normally an area for kidzchurch services, was transformed in an instant. Sleeping bags and blankets of every color lined the room from front to back. Horton Hears A Who was the movie of the hour from which life lessons of friendship, faithfulness, and biblical principals were highlighted in the evenings small group time.

Snacks for the evening were all donated by parents of attending kids and included popcorn, chex mix, twistlers, fresh fruit, and drinks to wash it all down.

Here's what parents had to say about the event...
~"Can we do this every month?"
~"We went on a date!"
~"We got to hang out with friends and play video games."
~"We will definitely bring our kids again!"

Kidz - they always make us smile!

Angel Alert! The Night That Heaven Came Down

2010-12-14T21:04:00.000-06:00

What a huge success! The kidz were amazing. All of them really did a super job communicating the message of Jesus and oh how exciting it was to hear those 58 kidz singing Glory! in the Highest! and "Hallelujah, come along and celebrate"

The sweet moments in Jesus Precious Jesus and A Strange Way to Save the World were so moving and special. Wow, I am always humbled at what God does with a group of kidz in order to share His son.

When you see one of our kidz, make sure you let them know what a great job they did.

A special thanks out to everyone who attended and supported the performance in so many ways. I know hearts were nudged in God's direction.

God's Working

2010-10-13T08:17:00.000-05:00

Team,

Do you ever ask the question, “Is God moving through me?”; “Is God using me?”; “Do I even make a difference?” Let me say without question, He is! He does! And you are!

10/10/10 paints a picture of what God is doing within KidzTown. Here are a few highlights, none of which would be possible if it wasn’t for your dedication to share God’s love with the children.

Children’s response to Casting Crown’s Lifesong reveals their growth in worship and prayer.
5^th grade small group dove deep into God’s Word; several students came out smiling and saying “my head hurts from thinking!”
Christmas Musical auditions brought out many excited children.
Unquestionable excitement witnessed in leaders.
New leaders felt accepted and part of the team.
One of our 4^th graders shared an object lesson with her peers about God’s ability to create man intricately.
90 children (K-5^th graders) received God’s Word in multiple ways.
6 children were first time guests = 4 new families!

I am excited to be a part of such an AWESOME team and give witness to what God is doing as we pursue Him.

From the depth of my heart, thank you for serving as leaders to the children of our community. God moves and there’s your proof. J

Sincerely,

Pastor Shaun

Auditions This Week! CDs Available Too!!

2010-10-12T15:30:00.000-05:00

Hey Parents and Kidz,
Don't forget that auditions for the Christmas Musical are this week! I know this can be a very stressful time for kids, but please reassure all of them that everyone in the musical gets a part singing and speaking because our choir has very distinct speaking roles to add to the unique flavor of this great musical.

Don't forget to stop by NewzCentral to get a copy of the musical. It's great for the kidz to sing along with at home before bed, after school or even at breakfast!

Last week our kidz learned the song "Call His Name Jesus" and boy did they pick up on that quickly! They were singing out like perfect angels with big choir voices!

Pastor Shaun and I just love hanging out with your kidz!
