CentriKid 2011

CentriKid 2011 final post

We had such a great week at camp this year and were able to see God moving in the hearts of both the kids and the chaperones. We are so grateful for those who financially supported kids and those who were prayer warriors. We hope you enjoyed the photo album!

On our way home!

Hoping to post some on the blog during the drive home from yesterday's activities. It was the craziest day of the week so I didn't get to post last night.

Day 2

Yesterday was such a fun day because it was the first day of tracks. Thankfully, all of our kids got the tracks they wanted. There were lots of cheers when they heard their track assignments on Monday night.

As you saw on the schedule in your Parent Pack, they keep us extremely busy. It seems like we're rushing from one thing to the next. But this can be a positive thing for the kids because we all know what can happen with idle hands. :D

The girls kicked off yesterday with a not-so-fun wake up call. Apparently a child in another group thought pulling the fire alarm would be funny. Not cool!

So far the meals have been great. The kids have especially loved the ice cream. But don't worry mom . . . we make sure they eat the "good" food first. We've been pleased that they are overemphasizing the need for lots of water at every meal.

Last night's worship time gave the final emphasis for yesterday's theme "God Provides Forgiveness" and we were blessed to have the opportunity to spend some great small group time with the kids afterward. Make sure you ask your kids about this because there have been some awesome decisions for God!

Day 2

It has been a great day & we have lots of pictures to share but internet here is giving me problems tonight. Sending this from my phone just to let everyone know it's been an exciting day for us all & we'll try again in the morning.

Day 1

It has been an interesting 1st day for sure! Praise the Lord we made great time on the road. We stopped in Forsyth, Ga for breakfast and in Norcross at Lucky Shoals Park for lunch.  We only had to make one additional stop at the SC welcome center to put on our FBC shirts. As soon as we got off the bus, the work began.  :-)   We got the suitcases unloaded in what felt like 112° weather. After that, we all got beds made & unpacked before heading to supper. Right after supper we rushed to Opening Ceremonies, then the kids all split up in their Bible study groups, returned for the nightly Party, went to Church group time to discuss track assignments & breakfast details. By now, everyone has taken a shower & made their phone calls & gone to bed. Praying everyone gets a great night's rest because we're all exhausted. Tomorrow starts bright & early with breakfast at 7:30am.
Attached pictures are from the Party.  . .

We made it! Crazy afternoon. We will post more later

Almost there

We stopped at Lucky Shoals Park for lunch. It was a pretty nice park & gave us all a chance to stretch our legs. At 12:30pm as I send this, we only have about 100 miles to go. Lots of games have been played & we're all anxious to get there!

1st of the many camp posts for 2011

We leave this morning at 5am for what has to be the best year ever at CentriKid camp! I say that because we've encountered many obstacles including bus problems. But as I type this, it's coming down the road. So keep watching for more exciting posts!

AWANA Award Ceremony 2011

During the 2010-2011 club year, over 5,000 sections were completed from the 265 children that attended AWANA. They filled up over 137 punch cards (which means A LOT of giant candy bars went out our doors). We had 71 adult volunteers that did an awesome job! During the ceremony, we handed out the following:
42 First Book awards
14 Second Book awards
5 Third Book awards
2 Extra Credit Handbook pins
256 Certificates
71 Leader Pins
8 Top Section Club Medallions
3 Top Section Trophies
It was such a great night as we remembered all the fun theme nights and awarded all the hard work everyone has done this club year.

Next Generation

I saw this video on http://www.wymad.org.uk/ and had to share it with you. It explains exactly why we do what we do in the FBC Kids Ministry.

Penny Night

It's almost time for our annual Penny Night in AWANA! It happens on Feb 16 and it is a boys vs. girls event. All the money collected will be going to JBA Haiti (www.jbahaiti.org). Last year the girls won by over $100 and we were able to send missionaries Crystal & Arnett Eubanks $423.79! We can't wait to see who wins this year!
