Camp Update 5

/ dankubish / Leave a comment

Here we are doing group devotions in the morning.  The kids did a great job looking up the verses and filling in their books.  After devotions, they went to large group time then on to recreation/Bible Study.  In just a few minutes we will meet up with all the kids for lunch.  If you would like to post a comment to your child I will pass it along.  Or you can email me at dan.kubish@newspring.org and I will relay your message.  It is warm here and we are making sure your child drinks lots of water and wears sun screen.  Keep praying for us as we minister to your child here at Centri-Kid.

All kids are doing well and had plenty to eat.  Our first service was great and the kids are having a blast.  Lights are out at 10:30pm so this is going to be all for right now.  I promise I will write more tomorrow.  Good night parents.  Sleep well.

Cosmo Tattoos are a Big Hit in KidzWorld

Cosmo Tattoo

We had a great time in KidzWorld today talking about humility.  Kids in Route 252 and adults in the worship center were learning about the same thing in their own environments.  The Bible story was about James & John and how their mother asked Jesus to put her sons in power by seating them one of the left and the other on the right of Jesus.  Jesus had an answer for them and all the disciples by telling them if they wanted to be in a place of honor, they must become a servant.  Our bottom line today was: “It’s important to treat others like they’re more important than you.”  We have one more week of learning about humility. Pastor Mark will be teaching next week to wrap up this series.

For WaterMark weekend we got some Cosmo tattoos to pass out during the fun and games time and we thought we’d let the kids have some today in KidzWorld.  They loved them, and even some of the adults had to get in on the action.  We told the kids to wear them and see if people in the community ask what’s on their face. Then they can tell them that they go to KidzWorld at NewSpring Church and invite them to come and see all the great stuff we have not only for kids but for adults as well.

Tomorrow Debbie and I and nine other leaders will be taking our kids to Centri-Kid camp in Bolivar, MO.  This our third year attending Centri-Kid in Bolivar and each year we have a ball with the kids and they have a fantastic time as well with the other 500 junior campers.  Pray for our safety as we travel and also the opportunities to talk to the kids about spiritual matters in their lives.  You can check out this blog on a daily basis for updates and pictures of what the kids are doing.  Don’t forget parents, you need to be at the church at 9:30 a.m. and the bus pulls out at 10 a.m.

Judgement House Sign-Up

/ dankubish / Leave a comment

We are excited to say that August 17th is our sign-up to volunteer for Judgement House.  If you have never heard of Judgement House it is an awesome ministry that is designed to reach out to the community.  This will be our 9th year to do Judgement House and last year we had over 400 volunteers sign up to help us with this ministry.  Judgement House is a walk-thru drama that portrays how the choices people make in this life affect their eternity.  We need volunteers to help with drama, security, concessions, registration, counseling, prayer, tour guides, technical, runners and much more.  This event is something the whole family can be involved in.  Our sign-up will be Sunday, August 17 after the 11 a.m. service in the Worship Center.  The meeting will start 5-7 minutes after the service.  Please pick up your children first and then head back to the Worship Center.  The meeting will only last about 15-20 minutes. 

JH is a ministry based on prayer. Every tour group, every scene and every invitation is bathed with prayer.  Will you start praying right now for the ministry of Judgement House and NewSpring Church?  We don’t want to do this without the power of prayer.  Pray that God will bless the script and that hearts of people will be open to the gospel.  Pray for good weather during the 8 days that we will do Judgement House and also for the health and safety of the cast and crew.  Last year alone, over 1400 people accepted the Lord and many are now members of NewSpring and excited about being part of the team this year.  What is the Lord telling you to do this year for Judement House?

Got Caught

It is always fun to “catch people” being early to their ministry at NewSpring Church.  Andrew helps in Rt 252 with some high energy boys.  Amy helps in the Kindergarten class and showed up extra early to make sure she was ready to welcome those little ones to class.  Keep up the good work everyone and maybe someone will catch you being early to minister to kids.

Bus Gets a New Look

bus

We are so excited about the face lift that our NewSpring bus received over the last month.  Brandon did a fine job painting the bus white for us with the help of a couple of great volunteers.  Then I took it down to Signs Now and they laid the graphics on it.  Lance did his part by creating the cool graphics.  It is a great way to advertise NewSpring and it looks cool as well.  There are several community outreaches we will be doing this summer so it will come in handy as we promote NewSpring Church.

A week from tomorrow Debbie and I will be taking a total of 60 people to Centri-Kid  Camp in Bolivar, MO.  We are excited about all the kids that are coming; this is the largest group of kids we have taken to camp.  Pray for us as we work with these kids and as God works in each one of their hearts.  Special thanks to all of you who helped sponsor a kid to go to camp.  May God bless you “super-good” for having a heart for kids!

Family Time at NewSpring Church

/ dankubish / 4 Comments

    We had a great family time at NewSpring this weekend.  The kids joined their parents in the Worship Center to learn about the virtue of humility. The KidzWorld Praise Team led in worship and the puppets were there to help teach the kids about humidity, er, I mean humility. The pictures give you some idea of just how much fun we had this weekend as Bubba learned about the importance of putting others first.

Special thanks to all of the volunteers who helped with the program and to Andy Williams & Sarah Kubish for doing such a great job with the technical end of things. Next week everyone will be back in their own environments but will continue to learn about the virtue of humility. I am excited about the whole family learning to “put others first by giving up what you think you deserve.” Our bottom line yesterday was “God wants you to remember it’s not about you” and we told the story of the Tower of Babel. Our church, family, and work place will be changed if we all practice a little humility.
