Of course, no kids night at our church is complete without a visit from Anthony the Balloon Kid, face painting, bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Hot dogs, chips, and snow cones provided at NO COST!! While your children are having with us you will be able to enjoy the "Taste and See". For more details here is the link for the Taste and See event http://www.gladevillechurch.org/grow/tasteandsee

This Sunday, July 22, 2012, your preschooler will hear this story -
“Paul and Silas Told About Jesus” Acts 16:22-32,34
Bible story brief -
• Paul and Silas loved Jesus. They were missionaries. Everywhere they went they told people about Jesus. Some people did not want them to talk about Jesus. Paul and Silas were put in prison. The jailer locked their feet in chains.
• Paul and Silas began to pray and sing songs to God. The other prisoners listened to them. Even the jailer must have heard them before he fell asleep.
• Suddenly, at midnight, while Paul and Silas were praying and singing, there was an earthquake. The ground shook so hard that the prison doors opened and the prisoners’ chains came loose.
• The earthquake woke the jailer. When he saw the prison doors wide open, he thought the prisoners had left. The jailer knew he would be punished if the prisoners were gone. He was scared. Then the jailer heard Paul call out in a loud voice, “We are all still here! Do not be afraid!”
• The jailer rushed in to see Paul and Silas. He asked them to tell him about Jesus. They told him and any prisoner that could hear about Jesus. The jailer took Paul and Silas to his home. Paul and Silas told everyone in the jailer’s house about Jesus. The jailer and everyone in his house listened to what Paul and Silas said about Jesus.
Bible Verse - Go and tell others about Jesus. Mark 16:15
Life Application - I can tell people about Jesus.
Bible Truth - We can tell people about Jesus.
Your parent challenge this week - Talk with your child about what we can tell others about Jesus. (He is God’s Son; Jesus helped people; Jesus healed people; Jesus loves all people; Jesus loves children.) Guide your child to choose two facts to tell about Jesus. Lead him to tell these facts to a baby sister, grandparent, friend, or Sunday School teacher. Say: “You can tell others about Jesus!”

Save these dates:
* No Wednesday night activities in July. Enjoy your time with your family.
