A 'Lying' Day

Today was a big Lie. Well, that was our message, all about Lying. We had 2 skits to demonstrate. There was a brother who lost a hat, his friend stole it and then lied about it. He was hurt. Then there was Naaman's servant who secretly received the 'gift' and then lied about it. During our sermon part we demonstrated it this way. We had a sheet of white paper with the word 'truth'. We then said in order to lie we have to cover the truth with something. It was a ugly, dark, black piece of paper. It was dramatic and all the kids seemed to focus when they saw that. No amount of lying is ok. We said other lies are homosexuals, cheating on test, stretching the truth. At the end of the service there were two boys who wouldn't come forward for the altar call. One wanted to, but his friend didn't . When it was all over I told them I wanted to tell them a story. Well, they came and we preached to them after all the regular kids left and they saw it and wanted Jesus. It was worth the whole day! Praise God for His Salvation. Here are some more pics! Praise Him!

2 Doors 1 Way! The Passover

This week was just awesome to say the least. We reenacted the Passover found in Exodus 12. Our story was complete with the roasted lamb and the death angel. It is one thing to tell a child a story and use vivid words to describe the account that you are endeavoring to relay to their mind. It is entirely different when you can show them the story. Great things happened as the story unfolded this week. The kids and parents left us with almost no room to do the show as they crowded to see. We had two families represented by the two doors. One family readily obeyed and the other family were dissenters and chided the 'obeyers'. After the roasted lamb came the blood on the doorpost. IT WAS SO GRAPHIC! The 'blood' was sooo red! Thank God for the Blood of Jesus! I was amazed as I stood there and watched as Alexis painted the door. The death angel them made his appearance. He didn't like the Blood-Covered door to say the least, but he found a opening in the 'dissenters' and took his liberty destroying the first born.

After the reenactment we preached Jesus is the Passover Lamb. It was so easy to preach after such a clear display of the Passover story. We had a group altar call and Verna led all in a prayer for salvation. It was such a rewarding day. Awesome! Thanks to all of our faithful partners who continue to believe in us and pray for us!!! Here are some more pics. Enjoy!
