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.

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.

Neighborhood Bible Club

Sat, July 31 was a great day to see God working in the lives of so many at FBC of Live Oak. We held a Neighborhood Bible Club at the Suwannee Rotary Pavilion. We had volunteers from every ministry age group and had a great times of games, drama, food and fellowship. The rain storm might have scared off a few visitors but we had a full house and were able to connect with many families from the adjoining neighborhood apartments. Thank you to all the volunteers who helped with this event. Please pray for those that attended as we hope to connect with home visits in the coming weeks.
