Sunday March 7th

2010-03-08T11:32:00.000-08:00

I am finally posting don't give up hope on me yet! :) Yesterday was an amazing service! First the kids that go to G.P.S sang one of the songs they have been learning sign language too Marvelous Light. They did a great job! The youth do an amazing job with kids on Wednesday nights! Thanks so much guys! Then we had 5 visitors! Glad to see new faces and some old ones back! We have been talking about the miracles that Jesus performed and yesterdays was raising Lazarus from the dead. We have been learning the reason Jesus was able to perform such amazing miracles was from the power of God. He wanted people to know that Jesus was His Son so they would come to believe in Him! It's amazing to know we serve a mighty and powerful God!

I got to watch Bro. Todd's sermon and it was great-I hope as Parents and loved ones we are impressing the love God has for them in their lives each and every day in some way! Take the deutornomy verse that was from the sermon and take just a few minutes each morning and talk about and maybe try memorizing it this week with your children. I will be sending home some quick family devotional with them from now on to help you guys impress the love of God more and more in their lives.

Here are some neat tips I found know Bro. Todd mentioned some in his sermon to help impress God more into their lives:

1. Say a morning prayer at the breakfast table-if your on the go breakfast eaters say it before you drop them off for school!

2. Send a verse in their lunch boxes or just an encouraging word-God loves you and so do I! or Smile Jesus loves you! F.R.O.G-fully rely on God!

3.Take time to hang up a verse on the refrigerator for that week to help memorize.

4. Read a bible story at night before bed time.

5. Sing a worship song together before bed time.

These are just a short few-their are so many more unique ways to impress the love that God has for them! I hope you all have a great and blessed week! We love you and your children all dearly and are in our prayers daily!

First Blog of 2010

2010-01-11T08:21:00.000-08:00

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged the holidays are a busy time for everyone. Now to get back in the swing of things! I know the kids were already wanting snow days their first day back. :) Not a whole lot going on right now trying to get somethings planned out for a new year and fresh start! G.P.S will start back on Wednesday January 20th from 6:30 p.m. to 7: 30 p.m. We are getting the youth all geared up for that. We are doing some things with missions until G.P.S starts back so we would love for your kids to come. Also, a new thing I have started is Marvelous Monday lunch with Mrs. Sarah-if your child attends children's church on Sunday mornings they will have their names put in for a drawing to win a free happy meal of their choice! I will personally deliver and eat lunch with them on Monday's. Your child can get their name put in again for however many friends they bring to children's church with them that Sunday! After you've been drawn your name will be taken out until everyone has the opportunity to win a lunch. This is a great way to encourage the children to come on Sundays and to invite their friends! Also will help me to get to know the children better by getting to spend time with them and get to know their friends! I am looking forward to a great and wonderful year of what amazing things God will do this year! Thanks for blessing us with the opportunity of ministering to your children!

In Christ,

Occasionally we have to change the contents to meet specific country requirements or change the shoebox to meet our approximate dimensions.

Dates, Dates, and more Dates :)

2009-11-06T07:18:00.000-08:00

We had a lot of new faces and old faces back this Sunday! Yay! We also had a great lesson I am posting below sorry a little late but I am really working on my blogging promise, I know I will never be as the pro blogger Danny Graham : ) So also a few very important, important dates to remind you about that's coming up...

November 11th will be our Operation Christmas Child Wrapping party at 6:00 p.m. Be sure to bring a shoe box filled with toys if you can and then come wrap it and see how many boxes we can send this year we wrapped over 60 something boxes last year let's beat that! I know lots of children who would be so grateful for just one gift this year everywhere over the world children go without Christmas at all. We have the opportunity to change that, and what an amazing way to share God's love with these children by giving them a gift and also share with them the greatest gift of all God loves for that He would give His one and only son Jesus! So with all that being said be a missionary you have the opportunity to change a child's life somewhere in the world! Get your children involved remind of them of how truly, truly blessed we are!

November 18th will be our last G.P.S until January when we will get that going again! So then that following week will be Thanksgiving break...teachers are jumping for joy I know :) Even typing this next date is crazy...December 2nd on wednesday nights we will be practicing for our Christmas program which is called the Christmas Hang-ups we would love for your children to come and sing the exciting true reason of Christmas! The birthday of Jesus! So if you have any questions about any or all of these dates please feel free to call or see me! Love you guys thanks again for the amazing opportunity to be a part of your child's life! We are truly blessed and grateful!

My all time favorite bible story...

David and Goliath

Based on 1 Samuel 17:1-50

High on a hillside the Philistine army gathered for

battle (add Philistine army 1). Across the valley

of Elah [EE-luh], King Saul and the men of Israel

lined up in battle formation (add Israelite army 2).

The champion, Goliath, led the battle for the

Philistines (add Goliath). Goliath stood 9 feet

9 inches tall and wore a helmet and armor of

bronze that weighed 125 pounds. The point

of his spear weighed 15 pounds! Goliath was

tall, strong, scary, and mean! He did not like

the Israelites. Each day Goliath walked out and

shouted a challenge toward the Israelite army.

Each day the Israelites saw Goliath and listened

to his threats. The Israelites were terrified.

One day, David came to the campsite to bring

food to his brothers who were soldiers in Israel’s

army (add David). David heard Goliath’s threats,

but David was not afraid. David asked his

brothers to explain why they were so afraid. They

should have been angry with Goliath because he

showed no respect for the power of God! David

boldly offered to fight Goliath.

David’s brothers and King Saul were against this.

David told Saul, God had already helped him

fight lions and bears as he cared for his sheep.

David knew God would help him fight Goliath.

(Add armor to David) King Saul told David to

wear his armor. Saul placed a bronze helmet on

David’s head. The armor was so big David could

not walk (remove armor). He took the armor off,

picked up his staff and five smooth stones and

walked toward Goliath (add sling/stones).

Goliath was angry because David was young.

Goliath called David names and threatened him.

He believed beating David would be easy. David

knew God was with him and boldly told Goliath

he was fighting in God’s name.

David said this would be the day God would put

an end to Goliath. David put one stone in the

sling, slung it, and hit Goliath in the forehead.

Goliath fell to the ground (turn Goliath on his

side). David killed Goliath. David put His trust in

God and God helped him defeat Goliath!

Feet Washing

2009-10-25T20:25:00.001-07:00

Yay! I am posting the first lesson on here! I am really working on improving my blogging skills I promise :) Today I was suppose to try and go over the Lord's Supper with the kids since we were having it tonight at church but sometimes what we plan is not what God has in store which is great because His ways and plans are always much better! So today our lesson was on serving others and the bible story of Jesus serving the disciples and one way he showed his love to his disciples was by washing their feet.

I know what some are thinking yuck feet! That's what the kids were saying some when I told them Matt and I would be washing their feet this morning while others seemed to be intrigued. We had one of their favorite worship songs playing which is Ancient words and then Matt and I had the absolute blessing and honor of washing your children's feet and not only showing them a way of serving but showing love the way Jesus loved and served his disciples. Words can never explain the experience Matt and I had this morning! My heart was just so humbled to be taking part in something Jesus was doing to his disciples over thousands of years ago and that he has seen fit to use Matt and I to minister to these kids and share his love in such a moving and powerful way. Yes your thinking kids and washing feet...crazy and messy but actually most were very grateful...of course you have your few laughs and giggles but hey their kids! :)

We wanted to show them we care and love them and are here not only to serve Jesus but others and them. I washed and Matt dried and as we went to each one before moving on told them love you and Jesus does too! So we thank God for an experience Matt and I will cherish and hold dear and near to our hearts! Thank you for the opportunity of serving your children! The scripture passage is below. This week and every week take bits and pieces and go over, question them. Take in each and every teachable moment while they have that amazing faith of a child. God bless each and everyone this week! We love you guys!

In Christ,

Sarah & Matthew

Jesus Washed the

Disciples’ Feet

Based on John 13:1-17

It was just before the Passover Festival in

Jerusalem. Jesus was eating supper with His

disciples. The Devil had already tempted Judas

to betray Jesus. Jesus knew that He would soon

die on the cross.

Before He died, Jesus wanted to set an example

for His disciples. He got up from the table and

took off His robe, wrapped a towel around His

waist, and poured water into a basin. To the

disciples’ surprise, Jesus began washing their feet!

It was the custom in that part of the world for

a servant to wash the dust and dirt off the feet

of visitors as they entered the home. Jesus was

acting like the disciples’ servant, not their leader.

Being a servant was Jesus’ way of showing love

to His disciples.

At first, Peter would not let Jesus wash his feet.

Peter believed Jesus was too important to be a

servant. Peter changed his mind when Jesus said,

“If I cannot wash your feet, you cannot be my

disciple.”

Jesus’ example taught the disciples that no one is

too great, too important, or too powerful to be a

servant. Serving others is how we show our love.

Therefore, anyone who chooses to follow Jesus

must also serve others.

Easter Service

2009-04-13T20:18:00.000-07:00

Hey guys ! What an exciting weekend at KFBC! 329 that is just awesome, praise God! We had I think over 30 in children's church which was awesome. We decided to have services in the Old Sanctuary so we could go on our egg scavenger hunt to find the eggs to tell the great Easter story using Resurrection eggs. The kids had a blast! After they found the 12 missing eggs we all gathered around on the stage in a circle to go through the eggs. Each egg except one had an item in it having something to do with the Easter story. Then one was empty representing that Jesus Christ had rose from the dead! They had lots of questions, some of the children had never heard the Easter story so seeds were planted! Matt and I just want to thank you all so much of giving us the privilege to work with your children! They are such a blessing! We love you guys- God Bless you all! Matthew & Sarah Robinson

Eggstra, Eggstra, read all about it!

2009-04-13T19:21:00.000-07:00

2009-03-26T09:06:00.000-07:00

Hey guys!

Hope everyone is enjoying their spring break! Great beautiful weather that God has blessed us with! Just a reminder that Sunday is the final day of the high attendance contest and the big cookie will be going to the class that has the highest attendance for the whole month! So don't give up just yet you still have sunday to get some numbers in and invite your friends!! See you Sunday!!

2009-03-17T19:43:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone....only a few more days until spring break and it's finally starting to feel like it outside! Sunday we had a great service we talked about Elijah again and those that were worshiping the false God Baal...it made the kids question what took up a lot of their time what were they "worshiping" or putting their time into...it really makes me step back and look at all the many distractions we have now a days..t.v., video games, music, fashion, food even. That's probably a major one for me that i'm still working on with the Lord's help...for most of them it was t.v. so we talked about other ways we could use our time to spend time with God instead of watching those 50 hours of t.v. a week or whatever they were struggling with. 1st and 2nd graders still in the lead for high attendance don't worry though guys you still have two more sundays left to invite, invite, and invite!

Sunday afternoon it was great to see all those who showed up to volunteer for VBS and praise God all positions were taken care of in like ten minutes! So awesome to see those so willing to be a part and do God's work! It's going to be a great VBS this year! Thank you all!

G.P.S tomorrow night everyone don't miss out 6:30 in the MAC!

2009-03-10T19:12:00.000-07:00

Sunday Recap...

Just wanted to tell the kids again what an awesome job they did singing sunday morning! I hope everyone received a blessing from it! Hight Attendance for sunday was...1st and 2nd grade! Don't worry though classes you still have a couple of weeks to catch up! It's the total at the end of the month! We talked about Elijah and him being a prophet of God when we made it back into children's church after singing and how we can tell when God is working in our lives and those around us! Key verse for sunday was "The Lord has done great things for us and we are glad." Psalm 126:3 Parents I encourage you to ask your children if they can remember what the key verse was for Sunday.. we are trying extra hard to memorize our key verses and refreshing their memories during the week will be a big help to them!

Sunday night and F.E.D was a great night we talked about how important it is for us as missionaries to know God's word so when we are out on the mission field which is everyday... to be able to tell others about His word..so we got back to the basics and are working on the books of the bible and played human tic-tac-toe learning what books are in the old testament and the new testament the X's and O's are tied so we'll be having a tie breaker next week!

Don't forget G.P.S guys tomorrow night at 6:30!!!

2009-03-04T10:07:00.000-08:00

Just a reminder don't forget G.P.S. tonight! March is here and snow is here a little crazy! Hope everyone enjoyed Sunday with their families.

2009-02-23T20:35:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone!

Well we had a great service in children's church yesterday 15 total we are down because so many are out sick so let's keep everyone in our prayers to get past this flu bug! We talked about the difference between being smart and being wise, and talked about the wise King Solomon. Yesterday's verse to memorize was Proverbs 2:6 "For the Lords gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." The kids were told to go afterwards and tell one adult and then that adult tell me and they would get prize. I really want the kids to know how important it is to not only learn God's word but to memorize and keep it close to their hearts! At F.E.D. that night we had 10 we brainstormed our next encouraging "secret" project. Also starting next sunday, K-6th grade sunday school classes will be having their high attendance contest starting. At the end of each month whichever class has the high attendance at the end of the month will be the winner of...

the big cookie!

So be sure to invite, invite, and invite!

Love and praying for you all this week!

Don't forget about G.P.S Wenesday Night at 6:30 in the Mac!
