KIDS WORSHIP—Treasure Island!
February 2016
Kids, come explore with us as we search
Treasure Island to DISCOVER some
incredible Bible lessons! Each week we
will dig deep into the Bible where we
will find ways that we can give to our
great God! Paul said in
1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone
look down on you because you are young,
but set an example…” There are lots
of ways kids can be a great example and
one is by learning to give unselfishly.
We’ll be finding out how we can give our
talents, time, treasures, and lives to
God every day! Our key verse for the
month is, “Give as freely as you have
received!” Matthew 10:8
Moms and Dads, here’s where we’ll
journey on Treasure Island if you want
to talk about it with your kids at home!
• The Israelites Build the
Tabernacle—Exodus 35:10-36:7. We use our
talents for God.
• Nehemiah Gives His Time to Rebuild the
Wall—Nehemiah 2:1-6:16. We use our time
for God.
• Jesus Tells About the Widow’s
Offering—Mark 12:41-44. We give our
treasures to God.
• The Rich Young Ruler—Matthew 19:16-26.
We give our lives to God.

KIDS WORSHIP — Rescue 911
March 2016
Grab your gear and get ready to EXPLORE
what the Bible says about salvation!
We’ll join up with some other explorers
like Saul and Nicodemus who found out
about Jesus’ gift of Eternal Life! Each
Sunday, we will explore the Bible in a
variety of ways; skits, videos,
experiments, object lessons, snacks, and
more! Our key verse for March is, “For
God loved the world so much that He gave
His only Son. God gave His Son so that
whoever
believes in Him may not be lost, but
have Eternal Life.” John 3:16 Plan now
to join us in finding out about this
great gift!
Moms and Dads, here’s what we will be
exploring if you want to talk about it
with your kids at home:
• Jesus Saves the Criminal on the
Cross—Luke 23:32-43. Jesus is the only
way to heaven.
• Saul’s Conversion on the Road to
Damascus—Acts 9:1-19. We receive
forgiveness through Jesus.
• Nicodemus Learns About Eternal
Life—John 3:1-17. God wants to give us
Eternal Life
Our kids are now working to help Pioneer
Bible Translators translate Bibles in
Guinea, West Africa. See our preschool
children pictured here with the victory
trophy, representing their
accomplishment of translating the first
verse. Each verse costs about $38 to
translate! AND our kids are well on
their way to translating another verse!
As each verse is translated, we will add
it to the Bible page on the wall that is
pictured! Please pray for our kids and
encourage them in accomplishing this
awesome task!
Seder Meal & Service of Shadows at
Lincoln Christian Church
204 N. McLean St.
Thursday, March 24
Join us for this very special evening as
we experience the Jewish Passover meal
that Jesus celebrated in the upper room
with His disciples, where Jesus
instituted the communion service that we
share each week. We will learn the
history of the Seder meal and taste the
various foods that are symbolic
reminders to the Jewish people of the
deliverance by God as He brought the
Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. The
Sanctuary Choir will help to set the
festive and anticipatory mood with music
accompanied by scripture and powerful
images on video.
There is limited seating for this family
experience. We have room for 302 people.
200 people will be reclining at low
tables just as Jesus would have reclined
with His disciples at the Last Supper.
Bring a cushion to sit on! There are 100
seats at regular tables and chairs for
those who cannot sit on the floor.
Because of the limited seating, pick up
free tickets at the Welcome Center. The
service is at 7:00 and will be under an
hour. If we run out of tickets, we will
add another service at 5:00 p.m.
This very special service will help to
prepare your heart for Good Friday and
Resurrection Sunday on Easter! You do
not want to miss this!

Jake's
Boys Music Ministry In Concert
Sunday,
March 6, at 5:00 pm
at Atlanta United Methodist Church
corner
of 2nd and Race Sts.
The Atlanta
UMC invites you to join us on Sunday, March 6, at 5:00 pm as we
present "Jake's Boys" in concert. The group of 8 guys from the
Gibson City area have been performing together since 1997, when they
first came together for a local production of Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolor Dreamcoat. All eight of the guys participated in the
musical and wanted to keep singing together after the final curtain
call. At first they got together every week just to sing. Eventually
someone asked them to share at community service and things haven't
been the same since. Their name came from the fact that most of them
played sons of Jacob in the musical. Jacob's Sons became Jake's
Boys.
They have performed for small church families, large church
families, pie auctions, local benefits, civic organizations, ice
cream socials, appreciation dinners, county fairs and state
conventions.They sing mostly southern gospel songs, but also share a
wide variety of music that centers on patriotic and old-time hymns.
There is no charge at attend. A freewill donation will be gratefully
accepted, and funds raised will go towards the seminary expenses of
a member of the congregation who is working towards his ministerial
degree and is currently attending Garrett Theological Seminary in
Chicago.
A spaghetti dinner will follow the concert and is open to everyone.
Mark you calendars now!
