What a Start!
What an amazing Sunday we had in the Watering Hole as we started the series, “On The Trail, The Exodus of Israel”
Our goal this week was for your children to understand that trust and obedience go hand in hand, especially when it comes to obeying God. We show that we trust God by being obedient.
On stage we told the story of the calling of Moses found in Exodus chapters 3 and 4. The story begins with God speaking to Moses from within a burning bush. God gives Moses the task of returning to Egypt to free the Israelites from slavery.
God gives Moses signs to show that He will help Moses in his task. Moses trusts God and obeys Him by going to Egypt.
After the story, your children were introduced to the characters Cookie the cook and Tex the cowboy.
Tex had just gotten a job on a cattle drive and was having a lot of doubts about himself and the task ahead. Cookie encouraged him to trust in the trail boss because he will give him the help he needs. He also encouraged Tex to obey the trail boss by coming along on the drive. We want your children to view being obedient to God in the same way. It isn’t enough to simply say that your trust. You show that trust by actually obeying.
Our Bible story and every activity was geared toward teaching your children that the
way we show our trust in God is by being obedient to Him and to those in authority over us.
We had such a good time, and if that wasn’t enough, we had four SGKids raise there hands and except Jesus into their hearts!!!
Thank you so much for being apart of Shady Grove Church and for allowing your kids to be a part of SGKids.
We have a whole lot more for your kids planned, and I am very excited to get the chance to meet each and every one of you parents.
If there is anything I can do to help you and your family, please do not hesitate to call the church office and let me know.
Blessings,
Ps. Niles
