The Dance
It's time to dance! It's time for our annual Kingdom Kids Party where we celebrate a child's decision to become a Christ follower.
Little Sarah will be at the party. She's four years old. She came up to me at the Christmas Eve service to tell me she had asked Jesus to forgive her sins and that she was going to love and follow Jesus the rest of her life. Her proud parents and have been a part of our church family for the last four years. Her mom is one of our preschool storytellers who later told me later the details of Sarah's decision to follow Christ.
On November 30, Sarah's mom had been on the computer and got up to check on her. She found Sarah in the other room with a princess dress on. Sarah told her mom, "I am dancing for God, and I have decided to follow Jesus all the days of my life. And when I get older, I am going to be bathtized."
Her mom asked, "Did you ask Jesus to forgive your sins and thank Jesus for letting you live in Heaven forever?" Sarah put out her hands saying, "Stay close, Mama." Sarah ran to her room, dropped to her knees, then thanked Jesus for forgiving her sins. She continued dancing and said, "I need to dance for Jesus, Mama. Take a picture, so I will always remember this day."
Has your child experienced the rejoicing dance? Let us rejoice with your child. Our Kingdom Kids party is for the family of any child who became a Christ follower sometime during 2007 (or previous years if you have missed our annual celebration) See the ad on this page for more details.
