It's a new semester with a new assignment!

Hey kids!  Don't forget about your special assignment from "The Agents." You need to do some top secret research and find out the following information.  Bring this information with you to Kids' Club on Wednesday, February 2:
1. Where is Indonesia?
2. What is the religion in Indonesia?
3. What is the currency/money of Indonesia called?

Don't forget your memory verse for this week as well: James 1:5-6 from the ESV.

We're waiting with great excitement for our next Special Field Agents to be revealed.  You won't want to miss it!

This week's verse and video

What is the future of all true believers?
Believers from every nation will worship Jesus for eternity.
Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."

Learning the Books of the New Testament

This is not what I intended to have to post on the blog here, but since I can't find a recording of the song we started learning last night for the books of the New Testament, you're stuck with us!  Hope it helps you learn the books better as you listen to it (and hope it doesn't hurt your ears too much!)  You never know when saying these books will earn extra Riel...hint, hint, hint!

TRIPLE THE RIEL!!!

Don't forget this week is triple the Riel week.  All the money that you would normally earn for saying verses, etc. will be TRIPLED!!!  This would be a great week to work really hard on your verse for Sunday.  And don't forget the special assignment with the tracts.  You can still decide to accept the special assignment and use a tract you have at home or get one from the upstairs tract rack.

Verse for Sunday, October 31 and Wednesday, November 3

Catechism
Q: "Is it my job to save people?"
A: "No, God is the only One great enough to save people from their sins."

John 15:16 - "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you."

The verse for Wednesday, October 27 with the motions courtesy of a strange looking Mr. Rich

When should I be ready to share the hope of the gospel?
I should always be prepared to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect.

Don't forget the special offering!

Hey, Kids!  Don't forget to bring money for special offering for the Special Agents, the Farmers this Wednesday, October 27.  Every single penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar that you bring in will go towards meeting our goal for the Farmers.  We'd love to see you make a sacrifice for the Farmers by giving of your own money. Remember the Lord loves a cheerful giver!  Here's your opportunity to show the Lord and the Farmers how much you love them by giving cheerfully and with a willing heart!

"Dress like the Agents" night

Don't forget to dress like one of our secret agents this week, October 20, in order to earn more riel money for our special field agents, The Farmers.  I'm including a picture from the very first time we ever saw the secret agents...do you remember when this was?

The verse for Sunday October 17 and Wednesday October 20

For whom is God's plan of salvation?
God's plan of salvation is for the entire world.
Genesis 12:2-3
And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

This week's verse (October 13, 2010)

Is there a need for laborers in God's harvest field?

Yes, there is a great need for laborers to take the gospel around the world.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,

This week's verse

Sorry for the lateness in getting this out!  I've got to get back into the swing of posting things again after our summer break.

The verse for September 22, 2010 is Matthew 28:18-20.  And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in [fn] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Don't forget we are earning "Riel Money" by saying your verses, coming each week, and bringing your Bible!  You also need your security clearance to be able to earn Riels for our Special Agent Project.  Rumor has it, too, that there might just be some "unusual activity" going on this week as far as "agents" go...be on the look out!

We're keeping you in the dark for now, but...

you'll soon be finding out what new and exciting things are planned for Kids' Club this year! You won't want to miss this Wednesday, September 8 which is our first official Kids' Club meeting for the fall. Remember 4 year old through the 6th grade can join us downstairs for a time of learning and exciting fun!  See you on Wednesday...

This week's verse

This is the verse for Sunday, May 9 and the last week of Kids' Club, Wednesday, May 12.

[2 Corinthians 5:21] For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

In case you missed the email...

We sent this announcement out via email this week, but wanted to include it here as well in case you missed the email:

May 12 will be the last Wednesday night for Kids' Club this spring. After a brief pause from children’s ministries on Wednesday nights, there will be a program for the children on Wednesday evenings starting early this summer. That program will be structured differently than our typical Kid’s Club, but it will provide a wonderful opportunity for your children to continue to grow in Christ. Please feel free to check with Pastor Brent for more details about the summer program. We are excited to resume Kids' Club as it has been running again this coming fall. God bless!

No verse this week--just the catechism!

Q: What is justification?

A: Justification is the declaration that I am righteous before God through faith because He has placed my sin on Christ, and Christ’s righteousness on me.

The catechism was so long this week, that we're waiting until next week to learn the verse to go along with it...so you just need to learn what is justification for Sunday, May 2, and Wednesday, May 5.

WOW!!!

 We had EIGHT people say their verse this Sunday!  That's a tie for the most ever to say the verse on a Sunday.  That's going to really help with the points since saying the verse on Sunday is worth $2,000!!!  Make sure you learn your verses for this Wednesday--every verse makes a difference!

And the winners for this week are...

Come on...you don't think I'd really tell you who won this week do you?!?  You have to come back next week when the agents bring the gold back to find out who the winner for this week is.  But I'll give you a hint...the winning team was either the blue team or the red team! :-)

The verses for Sunday, April 25 and Wednesday, April 28

Q: What is the gospel? A: The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
[1 Corinthians 15:3-4] 
(3) For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, (4) that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

Crazy Hat Night!
