Wow!! Last week was amazing! We held our GBC - BBC (Grace Baptist Church - Backyard Bible Club) event; and it was both spectacular and exciting! Every day (M-F) 14 kids and 13 adult workers showed up to learn about Jesus. Our theme: "Having Fun With Jesus" lived up to its name. We certainly had all kinds of fun. Whether the kids were playing with the "fidgets," or playing in the sandbox, or planting their flower, or decorating the sidewalks with chalk drawings, or running the obstacle course, or going on both treasure and scavenger hunts, or eating their delightful snacks, or singing fun worship songs, everything was centered around Jesus. We also learned some very important truths about Jesus: 1. Jesus loves me 2. Jesus forgives me ... when I am truly sorry 3. Jesus saves me 4. Jesus guides and protects me 5. Jesus is always with me. These simple truths were repeated over and over, for the purpose of instilling them in the hearts of all the children. The Bible says if we will instruct a child in these truths, they will not return void. In other words, these truths will remain with them all the days of their lives. Although GBC - BBC is over, the task of teaching Biblical truths to your children and grandchildren remains. Let me encourage all the parents and grandparents ... to be a positive role model and influence in your child's spiritual development. Do not leave that up to others. God has called you to raise your child in His ways.
