What a great time we had today with the grand opening of the Adventure Avenue Theater! It was awesome to see all the kids just jump for joy when they came into the theater.  It was fun to have a live feed into the worship center to let all the adults see the great time we were having in the theater.  Special thanks to Dale & Michelle Poore and Nate & Sarah Kubish for the countless hours–and I mean countless hours–of hard work they put in to make this a reality.  I never take for granted the dedication these people have for the ministry of NewSpring Church.  The environments we have are some of the best in the country and you can see the passion they have for the ministry.  I am also grateful for the leadership of Darrel & Karla Stinson, directors of the theater,  and Don & Michelle Coash, assistant directors. They have helped us make another engaging environment for our kids at NewSpring.  The  other set of people I would like to thank is those of you who are small group leaders, greeters, security, praise team members, registration; without you we couldn’t pull off the weekend.  Every job is so important to make our environments engaging and relevant. God is doing something special at NewSpring. Isn’t it great to be on His team?!!!

As you can see from this picture another piece has been added to this awesome theater.  Also, our special guest has arrived to be here on Sunday to greet the kids and have fun in the Adventure Avenue Theater.  Make sure you have your preschooler at NewSpring Church this Sunday!

As you can see there are two I’s missing in our motto for The Adventure Avenue Theater and the blame goes to the person who cut out the letters!  That would be the Children’s Pastor…me!  Oh well, at least I gave it my best shot.  Dale and the crew will have to rescue this mess-up and cut the I’s out for me.  But in spite of missing the I’s, doesn’t it look great? Don’t forget the grand opening of this new environment is February 17th.  This place is going to be “over-the-top” fantastic!

As see you can see by the picture below, the Adventure Avenue Theater is coming along.  Our big day is February 17th when we open the doors for the first time to our kids in the preschool/kindergarten department. We have been installing the audio systems and lighting systems and we are just getting started on the multimedia end of things as well. The hallway outside the theater is painted a bright new color so take a look at next time you are at NewSpring. This is going to be an awesome place for kids to learn about Jesus.  At NewSpring we are all about creating irresistible environments to be able to “set the table” for people to hear about the good news of the gospel. I hope you are planning to bring your preschooler/kindergartener to this grand opening. There are going to be lots of exciting things going on and a very special guest will be here to welcome the kids to the theater. Take this opportunity to invite your friends and neighbors to this exciting event. 

Do these guys look familar to you?  Well, you’ll have to keep guessing who they are, but they are inside Adventure Avenue Theater giving it a paint job.  We are blacking out the ceiling to make the colors on the wall and the set more vivid.  Next comes the wall colors in the room as well as the blue sky color above the stage and set.  Things are progressing well, but February 17th is just around the corner.  The electricians got their job done and now it’s time to kick it in high gear. 

This is going to be fantasic!  Don’t forget the Adventure Avenue Theater opens February 17th!
