Kingdom Kids
Kirsten, Leah, Elizabeth, Joe, Audre, Hannah, Jory, Shelby, Alexia, Brooke, Katherine, Gracie, Jaden, Andrew, and Kristiana…
I saw these children and others smile as the sage opened his scroll and read their names. These were the children dressed as princes and princesses who attended our Kingdom Kids Celebration. These were the children who became Christ followers in 2006. These were the children who will hear their names read from the Lamb's Book of Life when they stand before God. These children will spend eternity in heaven.
Every January we host a Kingdom Kids Celebration to honor the children who have decided (sometime during the previous year) to become Christ followers.
Important events are celebrated in a family. As a church family, we love to celebrate together the most important decision a child will ever make.
When the Lord returns and He opens the Book of Life to read the names of those who have trusted in Him, will your child’s name be read?
How can your help prepare your child to have a personal relationship with God?
- Pray for your child. You do not want to push your child into making a decision to follow Christ. Pray that your child will listen to the conviction of the Spirit of God.
- Make sure your child understands what he needs to do to be a Christ follower:
- Admit he is a sinner. (Romans 3:23)
- Believe Jesus loves him and died for his sin. (John 3:16)
- Confess his sin to God. (1 John 1:9)
- Look for opportunities to talk with your child about his sin and about Christ’s forgiveness. Be sensitive to when the Holy Spirit may be talking to him.
One more thing… if your child responds by confessing his sin to God and making a decision to be a Christ follower, will you let me know? We will definitely celebrate in January 2008, but I would like to share this joy with your child right away.
Praying with you for the salvation of your children,
Bonnie
