Caroling

-
Our youth group went caroling one cold winter evening just before Christmas.  We wanted to have a gift for kids of all ages and the adults.  We wanted to remind them of the reason for the season.

Playdoh for young kids.  "DOH-NOT forget how special you are to Jesus."  

A candy cane for anyone who feels they are too old for Play-doh.  
"Jesus is the sweetest gift of all." 

A book for the adults. 

We went up and down streets knocking on doors but the best place of all that we stopped was the homeless shelter.  We sang in the front room and if they wanted the people could come out to see what was going on.  Some did and they LOVED the gifts and the singing.  They were excited about what we were doing and it made us even more excited about what we were doing!

Our theme was the Abundant Life and we had tables about physical, mental, and spiritual health at the Curtis 4th of July festivities. In the mental health area we had literature and activities that would benefit people's mental health. A balloon pop where they could write their worries, stresses, and challenges and then pop the balloon, a sudoku puzzle, stickers, bubbles, stress relieving activities and lots of reading material. These bubbles were quite a draw! And once we started handing them out to kids instead of just leaving them on the table, we were able to talk with lots more people because we could share a bag of literature with the parents as well.  Best strategy tip: Reach the kids and you'll get the adults too! In the spiritual health area we had a jeopardy style game that they could answer questions from that would give them points to enter their name in multiple times (depending on their points) for a drawing. They could leave prayer requests and there was lots of

Be Ready to Share

I had been praying for divine appointments on my trip out to see Chaeli and back. I always want to be able to share hope, encouragement, and Jesus if there's someone who needs to hear So I left on this trip ready to share with people about Health, family values, and Jesus love! On my flight back home, I was reading a small book called Darkness Before Dawn. I happened to be in a chapter that had a picture of Jesus coming back to get us. It was full of angels and it caught the attention of one of the flight attendants as she was serving drinks. She said, " Are you reading about angels?" I told her that I was and shared a little bit about the book. She was intrigued that it talked about how Jesus was going to come back and what the second coming is going to be like based on what the Bible says. We talked a little bit about her background and how she's lost her mom who really loved angels and about how she believes it's not just politics going awry, but th
