The kids in Velocity had a HUGE time last night. We (mostly Vern) threw a Kid's Carnival night and encouraged kids to invite their friends.
Well, they did...
We normally have about 70-80 kids attend 1st Wednesday, which we call Vortex. This week, we had 115! And about 20 of them were 1st time visitors! That is just so amazing that the kids at NewPointe feel like church is a place they want to bring their friends. They all had a blast. There were 10 different games and the kids just went to whatever game they wanted to play. No one when home empty- handed, we had enough prizes to fill several pinatas, several times over.
This couldn't have been pulled off without the help of some of our Small Group Leaders. So a big thanks go out to all of them. Amy, Mark, John, Shannon, Doug, Teri, Mark, Annette, Karen and Marv. (Please let me not have missed anyone's name) You guys made it happen last night and the kids SO enjoyed themselves. We might have had kids that never went through a church door. And you guys showed them that God wants us to fellowship and have fun.
One last thanks to the parents of Velocity kids for bringing not only your own kids but their friends as well.
... and I hope that the sugar high we sent them home with, didn't last too long!
