Omaha Zoo Trip!!

Two summers ago...we took an epic trip to Omaha...

Water park...pizza...private zoo tour...settling down under the sharks and rising with the "jellies".
Another morning and afternoon of butterflies, swamps, jungles, 3D movie and birds feeding from your hand (well, the stick in your hand anyway).  It was 34 hours of amazingness!! 

And...it is BACK this summer!!

The trip will be Tuesday, July 19 until Wednesday July 20 and is open for all children 8-12 years old.  Cost is $65 per child.

To reserve your child's spot on this wild adventure, email Rachel.  Registration and payment is due by Wednesday, June 15.

Thanks so much for everyone who came out to the first ever KidSpace Dodgeball Tournament!!

Vision

Morning Star Church Children's Ministry Vision Statement:
To make an impression of the Father and His Kingdom in such a way that children are inspired to live their lives in the confidence that the God of the Bible is with them.

I went to a conference recently and the pastor asked us "What could you do if you KNEW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the God of the Bible was WITH YOU?"

Ask yourself that question.  The same God who did all of those miracles (healings, miraculous victories, to name a few), protected His people, and RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD!  What would you be willing to trust Him with?  In what ways would you be able to step out in power and trust instead of staying frozen in fear and insecurity?

What if our kids, the children that we are parenting/serving REALLY grasped that concept, too?  How much further could they go than us?  How much could they see changed in their schools?  The culture?  The world?

I know that the work that Jesus did and the power of God's Kingdom equals a better life.  The Word of God is a mighty weapon to eradicate the darkness with His marvelous light.

We can be a part of building these children up as heirs of the vision of God's Kingdom!   I am believing God to lead us into a more powerful time of ministry, relationships and care for families and volunteers than we have ever experienced before.  

Have a heart for the next generation and want to be a part of what He is doing?  Email me at rachel@msclawrence.com.
