Remember last year?  If not, watch the video below and come this year and make some new memories…

This has been a great month of celebrating life!  This week we studied Jesus calling Peter, Andrew, James and John.  We also learned that to follow someone you need to know:

1.   Who called you= God did.

2.   Who YOU are= God’s child through Jesus Christ

3.   Where are you= in God’s hands, His plan, protected and loved

4.   WHY are you= here to love God and know Him and to loves others as yourself.

In today’s culture “truth” is at best elusive, and a matter of everyone’s opinion. Praise God that He reveals Himself to us in His Word as THE ONE AND ONLY GOD. Who never changes, is Sovereign and Holy. The One and Only God who died for us and will come back to take us to be with Him forever. God who has the power to keep His Own and He invites us into personal relationship with HIM!! How totally awesome is that!

Pastor Karon,

This week we continued looking at the ONE MONTH TO CELEBRATE while our parents are in the One Month to Live.

This week we studied that life is kind of like a… not box of chocolates… but a roller coaster.

Life has its ups and downs, curves and dips. But GOD is in Control all the time. He has a plan prepared and happening before our day starts. Look again at Joseph in the empty cistern, deciding what they are going to do with him in Genesis 37:24-25. Remember life moved slower then, than now. Camel caravans take time to walk, load, and get anywhere,,, but the BIBLE says there it was, at the right place and the right time, just in time to sell Joseph to them.  Coincidence?? No Way! Remember God is Sovereign. He is not only in your past, present and future, He is also outside of Time as GOD Creator. He knows exactly when you need a rescue and even though it may look like another disaster,, God is in it molding you and building you to great things for Him. Just like God was with Joseph, God is with you!

We considered that Genesis 12:2-3 is for us, our life is meant to be lived not only to be blessed by GOD THE TREASURE, but to also bless others, and be a blessing. WE bless others by our steadfast faithfulness, hard work, good attitude and love.

Parents you are part of a bigger picture than just what we can see. Remember the Bible tells us the what can be seen is temporary and what is unseen is eternal. You cannot see what great paths God has marked out for you, or your children, but you can feed them daily with the True word of God, read the Bible to your children, using God’s Word to bless, correct, instruct and teach them.

I am praying for you, Over comer, Victorious, Chosen, Empowered, Child of God.

Believe it and live it!

Pastor Karon,

Believing God.

So will you do some extra chores around the house, look high and low for lost change, use your brain and earn some extra money for BGMC this month?

Let’s all bring 2 or more dollars this Week!!

Love each of you!! YOU are a blessing from the Lord!!

Pastor Karon

ONE Month to Celebrate started off with a Bang!

This Sunday Kidz Zone learned about living:

1. The Abundant Life God wants us to live. John 10:10 Here we stuck our finger in a glass of water then removed it,,, look no change in the water, God made us to make a difference in our world,, like putting our finger into putty to leave a mark, God designed us to leave a legacy in our world.

2. We are designed to do Great Things. Hebrews 12:1  Just consider our awesome our bodies are made!! GOD made this great body Ready to GO! Then He gave us the Bible to clearly mark the path He designed for us.

3. We are Designed for A Purpose. Ephesians 2:10 & John 15:16  We looked at some beautiful pictures, with a hole cut out in the center of the page. Each hole was the same size,, to discover: God has a beautiful individual plan for each of us. We may look alike on the outside, we may fit into other pictures but… but each of us are designed to fit PERFECTLY into the Plan GOD made for us, and only we can complete THAT plan.

Parents please read the Bible Book Marks with Your Child; these 3-5 minute daily Bible verses are to restate what we learned, help them to remember and meditate on what God has for us, and to open times of sharing with your child.   Help your child bring them back to church for points and rewards.

Pre-school Aged Classes took a “trip” just like Joseph, Mary, and little Jesus did, we learned that God cares for us and protects us, He gives us families to care for us.

This Weekend is JBQ!!! Go Team!!

WHAT IS YOUR CHILD GOING TO DO FOR KIDS FINE ARTS 2010?  Here is the link to the North Texas Recourse Center for our District.   Click HERE to find out all the details!

Last week we learned about the Wise Men and what it means to be a Wise Man today.

Here is what we found:

1.    You have to chose to seek the Lord and follow Him. It is a personal choice. The star that led the Wise Men to Jesus was Huge and Bright, easily seen by any who would look up to see it. the Bible does not tell us of anyone but the Wise Men who followed that star to find Jesus.  Just the Wise Men chose to follow that star all the way to Bethlehem to find Jesus, we can chose to follow Jesus today even if no one else does.

2.    We smelled Frankincense and Myrrh. Just like those smells. We can let God transform us into smelling like Jesus too. The bible says we are the fragrance of Christ to this world.

3.    The Wise Men worshipped Christ Jesus. We can worship Him too by putting all our mind, and all our heart focused on God. That is worship, even if we are drawing a picture for God or just looking out the window at a beautiful sunset and talking to God about how awesome He is… Worship is all about Him.

Awana’s started out with a BANG this 2010!! We have begun a 10 week session on the life of Joseph!

Last night we learned that no matter what happened in the past, no matter who our family is… GOD has chosen us and He CAN USE US to love this world and do great things for HIM.

God Bless YOU this New Year. Remember every day is a new beginning. So start this new day with God.

Kidz Zone just started a short series on “Life is a Great Race”

We learned that we need the fuel of “Worship” in our lives.

Worship is just being AWED by GOD and His Goodness. For example; Isn’t it awesome how God holds all that water up in those clouds,, how does He do that! Isn’t it awesome how God keeps all those countless stars and planets in orbit without even one falling!

A= awesome W= worship E= every D=day.. So I challenge you to stop today and think of 5 things that is awesome about GOD, tell Him you think He is Awesome too!!

Love you

Pastor Karon

Awana Calendar

Junior Bible Quiz Engages kids from kindergarten through 6th grade in daily memorization and repetition of Bible verses and truths. The 576 questions (of various degrees of difficulty) include the proof scriptures for all of our major doctrines. They cover the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Kids who are involved with their parents for at least 4 years become so well grounded in truth that they defy the trends in American churches (including Assemblies of God). They remain in church after leaving High School.

JBQ takes advantage of the two greatest motivational triggers in children of this age group.

1. JBQ is fun! Kids love interaction with other churches. They love the camaraderie of a team. They grow together as their leaders pray with them and explain spiritual truths day by day.
2. JBQ is competition in a Godly atmosphere. Every day of their lives from cradle to grave they will be involved in competition: in school, on the job, everywhere they turn they must compete to survive. At this age they love it. What better time to teach them Christian values in actual competition. It really works! Many of the most intense competitors on opposite teams become closest of friends after quizzing is finished each month

Who heals us?

Whether we see our healing

right away or later,

are we still healed by Jesus wounds?

Have you ever had a job to do and did not have the tools to do it with? Do you remember the frustration of “making it work” with a tool that was not made for the job?  OR did you have the right tool, but did not know how to use it? Well that is where Bible Book Marks come in.

Each week your child is given a Bible Book Mark with 4-8 verses to be read 5 days during the week. The Bible Book Mark will reflect what we focused on that week during Sunday Kidz Zone. When they mark each day as being read, and bring it back to me,  I reward them with BGMC Bucks they can use to buy treats in the BGMC Store at church.

Bible Book Marks are a tool YOU can give your child. A tool to defeat the enemy of their souls, hearts, and your home; PRICELESS!!

Please read them with your child. Mark off each day as you read them; discuss what God is saying to them and you as you read each day.  Demonstrating to your child how to use God’s Word in everyday life can bring both of you closer together, to the LORD, and to personal victory in your lives.

Read them, Mark them,  Bring them back to church in order for your child to be rewarded.

Blessings,

Pastor Karon

Can’t wait to hear from your child some reports of discussions you have had at home about the Stars teaching us things about God the Creator.

God bless you!
