Our church is having Kids Krusade this week, we really enjoyed the first service.  The theme of the Krusade is "The Chosen", we are chosen by God.



Second night of the Krusade, K got to play a game and put the verse of the week in order: Joshua 1:9 "This is my command-be strong and courageous!  Do not be afraid or discouraged.  For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." 



Here Pastor Butch (who was my youth pastor growing up) was demonstrating how God takes away our sins after we ask him to forgive us.

SPECIAL EVENT

Father-Daughter Dance 

He surprised her with her favorite flowers before taking her to the dance.

Definitely a Night to Remember.

This has been a week of learning more about Mexico, turtles, desert, and reading.  We've enjoyed our time at church at the Kids Krusade, getting closer to God.  Love seeing how God is working in the kids and changing their hearts.  We have been blessed with a wonderful church that not only my husband and me grew up in but that my kids get to grow up in it too.  Now unto next week to see what's in store for us.

GOD BLESS!!!
