I Can't Wait...

"I Can't Wait" is the morning service for Centri-Kid. This service is LOUD and CRAZY and it gets the kids excited for their day of camp. Each morning, they have a news service, sing songs with Jeff Slaughter (the semi-famous popular VBS MOTIONS guy who demonstrates the songs on all of the VBS videos each year), recognize a group leader of the day and have "screaming" contests. Here are just a few pictures from all of the morning services.

The Great Adventure...

Last night Centri-Kid had a night life party and the theme was "The Great Adventure." This is the biggest Centri-Kid camp on record and there are over 1,000 people at Schocco Springs-- all participating in Centri-Kid. So, they divided the camp and half of the churches are supposed to be decked out in blue and the other half in red for the parties. Our church went all out.... from leopard print tights, to rainbow knee socks, big red sunglasses, and glitter hairspray, our church definitely represented in style. We'll participate in another party tonight... here's to hoping that our team pulls through once again and brings home a victory!

Carson definitely represented us well with "FBC" in blue hairspray!

Ariel got called on stage to play a game in "The Great Adventure!"

and so did Jacob!!

Centri-Kid 2009

We have arrived at Shocco Springs in Talladega, AL and we are experiencing our first full day of camp! Please keep us in your prayers this week. There are 29 of us from FBC but over 800 kids are participating in camp this week. Pray for strength and safety for the hot days ahead and pray for our kids-- pray that they will dive into God's word in a way they've never done before. Pray that they'll open their ears and hearts to hear and recieve what God has in store for them this week!!

Our great group!

Boomerang Express

Vacation Bible School was such a fun week at FBC. We had over 100 kiddos each day and over 50 workers. VBS wouldn't have been possible without the help of all teachers, assistants, decorators, snack providers, money counters, etc. The kids brought over $2000 in offering and Dr. Leake was able to wrestle the crocodile at the worship rally on Friday. A great time was had by all!

Mommy & Me Tea

Sunday was Mother's Day and our preschoolers wanted to honor their mommy with a tea in our gym. The event was a success and I think everyone enjoyed themselves. I hope that all mothers had a special day on Sunday. Thank you so much for being dedicated to bringing your kiddos to church and helping them mature in their walk with Jesus.

If you're a Centri-Kid summer camp participant this summer, you'll definitely want to check this video out. Scroll down to the VERY BOTTOM of this page and "pause" the music on the playlist so you can hear what the kids are saying on the video. I can't wait to spend a week at camp with you!

The kiddos did a FANTASTIC job leading in worship last night. Their hard work definitely paid off! Thanks so much to all of the choir teachers that lead these children week after week. You should be so proud!
