A letter from my pastor….read it and get excited!

Good Morning NewSpring,
I am so pumped about this upcoming weekend that I can’t sit still.
In ALL FOUR of our weekend services people are going public with their faith by believer’s baptism.  You’ll see them and hear them tell their stories.  You know, I hear about people who get their hands on hard to acquire tickets to sporting events or concerts, and they feel so special.  Man, I think about what we’re going to get to experience this weekend, it’s bigger than the Super Bowl and the Final Four combined.
It all starts TONIGHT with Kidzworld baptism at 7 pm.  I’ve gotten a preview of some of their stories and, trust me, you’ll be glad you came out to see these young champions make their commitment to Jesus a public expression.  NewSpringers, I know you’ll want to be there with me to show them your support.
In all four weekend messages, our installment of Red Letters focuses on Jesus the Healer.  We’re going to be personally interacting with the One who has a way of soothing hurts, restoring lost things, and putting broken pieces back together again.
Big, life-changing stuff is going down at the corner of K-96 and 21st this weekend.  You’ll want to be there.
God bless and have a great Friday, See you tonight!
Mark

Fun Lives Here Place Mat

Woohoo, it’s spring break!! I know some of you will be traveling over this weekend or throughout the week. Enjoy the time with your kids! Make some special memories! Even if you won’t be leaving town or taking time off from work, find a way to make this coming week extra-special for your family.
Here are just a few of our upcoming events that I would like to remind you about.

JumpStart: JumpStart is a 30 minute session for elementary kids and their parents to hear a presentation about what it means to have a relationship with Jesus. It’s a very simple walk-through of God’s plan using John 3:16 and even if your child hasn’t begun asking questions about that yet, it’s a great way to get a conversation started with them. There is a JumpStart session tomorrow, March 19th at 4 p.m. and there are also some future dates available in May and June. You can register here.

KidzWorld Watermark: On Friday, April 8th, we are going to hold our very first KidzWorld Watermark for kids in the 5th grade and under who are ready to make their faith public through baptism. The service will be held in the main auditorium at 7 p.m. If your child is interested in being baptized, you can find out more here. You are also invited to attend even if you don’t have a child being baptized. We would love to let other kids see the steps of faith that their friends are making.

KidzWorld Camp: June 5th-8th we will head to Sky Ranch Camp in Quapaw, Oklahoma for KidzWorld Summer Camp. This is the same camp we attended last year and the kids (and leaders) had a fantastic time. Camp is open to any child who is completing 2nd-5th grades this year. The cost is $249 with a $75 deposit due when you register. We have a limited number of spots available so please register early.

Thanks for bringing your kids to KidzWorld!
