The Lord's Supper



We began regular Sunday services on Easter, and two weeks ago had our first celebration of the Lord’s Supper.  It was an amazing night to see our baby church grow.  Many people weren’t ready to take the Lord’s Supper, but did fine with waiting.  We were worried that some of the kids would not understand and play around too much, but they did great and have been doing really well on Sundays.

We finished our first team week and Kid’s club was great!  Adam’s View averaged around 45 kids, Totus around 60, and Warm Springs averaged around 50.  The highlight for me was when we did the story about Elisha and the Widow whose bread and oil never ran out.  When I was asking the kids about the story, I asked, “What did Elisha ask the woman for?” Someone shouted out bread, and then a 4 year old boy said, “The bread is His body.” I was stumped and overjoyed for a second, but quickly continued with the discussion of the story.  It made me so happy to see these little guys remembering what we’ve covered in previous lessons and connecting it to other stories.  It’s just a small picture of what God’s doing and the growing faith of the children.    

Thanks for your prayers and continue to keep us in prayer as we go through the summer and attempt to lead people to Jesus.
