Bible Clubs Awards Ceremony is tomorrow...King's Ball training begins!!

Bible Clubs Awards Ceremony will be tomorrow, starting at 7:15! This is just to recognize the kids for what they have accomplished so far! (We will also be having a 2nd Awards Ceremony at the end of Bible Clubs.) The kids will be demonstrating what they have learned and we will be rewarding them with the badges they have worked hard to earn. We will conclude with a small reception.

There are many kids that began their skating badge at the Skating event on Feb 13. Around 7 kids completed the "written" portion of their badge LAST Wednesday. Many kids were missing last Wednesday to complete their badge. IF your child was one of them, I have attached the form that needs to be completed so they can receive their badge tomorrow. If they don't complete it, then we will work on the written requirements next Wednesday and they will receive their badge during the 2nd ceremony. IF you have any questions on this, please call or email me.

Our "King's Ball" training went GREAT on Sunday! The girls learned about "Beauty Secrets" of a Princess of God, they made a "princess" mirror to remind them on how beautiful they are from the inside/out to their Daddy in Heaven, and then we began to learn their Princess dance.

The boys learned the 4 principles of Manhood/Knighthood and about Knight Grooming, they made a Knight foil collage to help with them memorizing these 4 steps, and then they began to learn their Knight dance.

All Princesses and Knights received a folder with the information we learned so they could practice during the week. This folder needs to come back each Sunday so we can add to it!! Please be there EVERY Sunday! They don't want to miss one week!

Please Note the date of the King's Ball as changed to March 27! Please mark your calendars!!

Bible Clubs and Training begins for the Ball!!

Congrats to all the children who kept their commitment of fasting and worshipping the last 40 days. We rewarded them with an awesome "Upperoom 120" dog tag and necklace to add to their collection. If your child was not there and they completed their commitment, please see Pastor Teresa or Tosha to receive your reward. Don't forget to continue to wear your necklaces each week! Also, if you already have a chain necklace, if you return the chain you received on Sunday, you will receive 50 Zbucks!!

Bible Clubs continue tonight!! We will be completing the "Skating Badge" with those of you who attended the skating party and fulfilled the skating portion of the badge. Also, if you are a God's Girlz and have not brought in your requirements to receive the "Friendship Badge," please bring that in tonight! This is the last week before the Awards Banquet! Don't forget, Awards banquet is NEXT Wednesday, February 23.

This Sunday, we begin our four week Knight and Princess training to prepare us for the "King's Ball" in March! This will be a fun and exciting time for the kids where they learn and grow in their love for our King Jesus! We are SO excited about this next month!! You can't miss one week!! On Wednesdays, some Bible Clubs teachers will be reinforcing our training by doing additional crafts and activities concerning How to be God's Princess and Knighthood. So, don't miss Wednesdays either!!

Upperoom 120 continues on Wednesday and Friday evenings! Come out and continue to worship with us!!

Bible Clubs Valentine's Day Parties and Skating Party!

Valentine's Day Parties!
Tomorrow is our Bible Clubs Valentine's parties. Your child should have received a pink paper with a heart on it which gave you the amount of Valentines you need to bring and a food item to bring to the party. If you did not receive one, here is some details that will help you.

Rainbows...need around 8 valentines.
Daisies....need around 9 valentines.
God's Girlz...need around 12 valentines and don't forget to bring the snack you volunteered for! Also, bring nail-polish, they are doing manicures!
Mission Possible...need around 22 valentines and don't forget to bring the snack you volunteered for!
**If you were not there Wed and we didn't talk to you Sunday, just bring in something to add to their "goody" bags and valentine's.

Additional Info for parents of God's Girlz:
Don't forget to bring your completed Family Tree - with at least the names of their family members on the fruit but would be nice to add the birth-dates if there is room - some will have room on their fruit and some won't! Also bring your completed "Friendship Badge Requirements" Sheet - if they forget it, they will have extras that your child can fill out in class. Remember if you don't bring these items, you can't receive your friendship badge! All things need to be in prior to the Awards Ceremony on Feb 23.

Additional Info for parents of Mission Possible:
We will be having a Super"Valentine"Bowl party, so wear something you can play a friendly game of flag football in!! We will eat and watch a football movie too!
