Sunday recap

Wow....tons of kids in 1st service this past week! What fun! Here's what we did in Explorers and Elevate:

Explorers
Main Point: I will obey.
Bible Story: The Wise and Foolish Builders in Luke 6:47-49.
Enforce it: Read the story in Luke. Talk about how each of the builders made a choice to build the house the right or wrong way. Remind them that when we obey, we are like the builder who built his house on the rock. He did the right thing.

Elevate
Lesson Goal: Because God knows everything they do, they should do good in every part of their lives.
Main Point: God Knows Everything!
Bible Verse: O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. Psalm 139:1
-Ask the kids about what Doctor Oppenheimerstein did to try to hide so no one would have any idea what he was doing. And did it work?

Big things happening!

Things are REALLY moving along with the new building! The nursery looks amazing, and Steve Doolin has had some fantastic ideas for finishing it up! Can't wait to see it when it's all put together. I met with another Elementer tonight about getting the Explorers room started. The primary colors are going on the walls this week and then we will be able to get in there and put the finishing touches on!

I have a fun project that I'd like to have finished by our move-in date, but I think I'm going to need some help with it. One of the walls is going to have a PVC pipe "maze" attached to it. It's basically built into the wall and framed behind plexi-glass. Where I am needing the most help is with spray painting the PVC pipe and then fitting it all together and mounting it on the wall. If this is something that you are able to help with, please contact me ASAP.
