Three in ONE

Hey kids!

I hope you had a GREAT day off on Monday! I'm sure it was nice to have a break from school and have a long weekend.

I heard something awhile back, and wanted to share it with you. I know you've learned about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit being 3 in 1. They are called the "Trinity". Has that ever confused you? I mean, it's a tough concept to think about, but by FAITH, I take God's Word to be true and believe it!

Let me explain it this way: Think of a hard boiled egg -- it has 3 parts. The shell, the white part, and the yellow (yolk). Is it 3 eggs? Nope, it's still just one egg, and yet they are all different PARTS of the egg. That's a great way to think about the Trinity when you get confused, or if someone asks you to explain it. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are different, but they are still ONE!

CHALLENGE: At the dinner table this week, explain to your parents what you learned about the Trinity. Tell them about the egg and how, just like the Trinity, it's 3 in 1! Leave a comment here to let us know you did it. The first 3 posts will get a special prize from me!

Have a GREAT week, Capshaw Kids!

Summer '08 Events

Guess what? Summer is just around the corner, and that means fun times in the Capshaw Kid's Company! We have two BIG events I wanted to remind you of ... pass these dates along to your parents for your Summer '08 Calendar.

July 7-11: Centri-Kid Camp - I am so excited to go for my first time. Can anyone say "OMC"?? If you don't know what that means, ask me, or find someone who went last year. It's a BLAST! Watch for our registration coming soon.

Encourage and support your friends in Worship Arts on Sunday -- they are singing in the AM service!

Have a GREAT weekend -- See you Sunday!

Standing Alone

Hey Kids! I hope you are having a GREAT week. I'm praying that many of you will be able to visit our new site and get some encouragement from me and from each other!

Today, I want to talk to you about 'standing alone'. Have you ever had to do that? I know it's not easy, but do you know who our GREATEST example is in standing alone? That's right, it's Jesus. There were many times that when everyone was doing the opposite thing, He stood alone and obeyed His Father in Heaven.

Take an opportunity this week to stand alone. For example, when everyone in your class is talking and you are supposed to be listening, STAND ALONE and obey your teacher. Guess who else you are obeying? That's right, it's Jesus, and He will be pleased with your obedience. I Peter 5:9 tells us to "STAND FIRM in the faith." When you take a stand for Jesus, you are being a witness for Him! Remember what that song says? "Obedience is the very BEST way, to show that you believe" !

Click on the word 'comment' and let me know how you took a stand for Jesus this week! I'm praying for you every day, and want to know how Jesus is working in your lives.

Have an AWESOME week!
