Hey Kidspoint Jedi, team leaders and team mates!
I just love that "ELF" movie...so I had to put a picture of it !
The wise men came to Bethlehem and gave gifts to Jesus and returned home a different way. The way we give to God can change us. By seeking to give rather than get, we experience more of who God is, but our enemy would like to divert our giving by speaking lies into our life. When we are obedient to what God calls us to do, we can be changed in the process.
We have a great opportunity coming for Christmas. We know Growth happens around Christmas at Lifepoint. Thousands of people will actually walk into our building one way and walk out being different.
We are offering people a chance to live out the great meaning of Christmas: It's all about GIVING
- Giving greetings to a new family who will encounter Jesus in our campus
- Giving a child a blessing to be with you on Sunday = a parent being blessed
- Giving your time so a parent will be blessed, engaging in growth process to become a better parent for their child
- Giving out your energy for people who will be able to cross paths with Christ and become fully alive
Your act of service and giving echoes further than just the kids' life. It resounds in the parents' life also.
Christmas team scheduling is due for this Sunday
We're almost done with rally Zoo :( They are closing the site down at the end of the year. We will be using this site.http://fredkp.dropmark.com/ . Let's get used to our Dropmark everyone.
Let us commit to...

You will have a lot a salvation moments this season with our kids
Eternal salvation comes from Him. He saves all those who obey him. Hebrews 5:9 NIRV
Be bold in...

- Walking them on the path of salvation
