Caring Basket Day

What an awesome day as 120 kids and tons of volunteers and parents delivered baskets of goodies to three nursing homes and about a dozen senior adults. Several of you said that you had a story for the blog, so click on "add comments" and share it with us! My favorite moment was one of our third grade boys walking by and telling me, "It rocked giving that stuff away!" What a great day of living on mission.

Post Election

I have heard of many of our kiddos being frightened about the outcome of the election. Some even told their Awana leader that their dad may lose his job and they'll lose their house because of the new president. That is alot for a third grader to be worrying about.

This Sunday, let's be on our guard to share with the kids the God who is in control of all things. He knows the future and He has a plan for every kid.

Beth Moore had an incredible post about our role now as the body of Christ. Click here to read it.

"No Shave November" Phenomenon Begins in the Kid Zone

On Sunday afternoon in our Celebration team meeting, I began to hear rumors of Joey and Tim declaring a "No Shave November" and Tim was even polling the kids to determine good punishments for whoever shaved first. Stuart was non-committal, but they said that Speedy was possibly going to participate.

I had no idea what would happen today.

Apparently Speedy convinced the whole Rick and Bubba show, who then encouraged all of their listeners, to participate in "No Shave November". Go to www.rickandbubba.com to see it for yourself.

Any other Kid Zone male volunteers want to jump in? Comment here if you are participating.
