Greetings Lifers,

What has 1200 arms and 1200 legs, sounds like a jet plane taking off, has the raw energy of a nuclear power plant, and smells like a barn? If you guessed Kidapalooza here at Bay Life, you’d be correct (okay, they don’t all smell like barn animals – smiley face). If you haven’t been up here any night this week, you’ve been missing out on 580 plus kids and leaders having the time of their lives – games, LOUD singing, teaching time, awesome skits, and of course, the now customary “sliming” of an adult leader. Our Children’s Staff and volunteers are doing an amazing job!
Here’s why I mention it – the gospel will be clearly spelled out for these kids on Friday night. Potentially we could see dozens of young men and women find faith in Jesus for the first time. How many of us can trace our faith origins back to a camp or an outing like Kidapalooza? So here’s the deal – we need to pray for our vision to be realized, that these kids might become Christ followers who eventually make followers who make followers. It is “go” time, church – let’s all spend a moment right now in prayer for the young hearts that God is going to call to Himself this Friday night. Pray against distractions that would keep kids from attending and the fears that would keep them from confessing faith in Christ. The harvest is plentiful – may we see God reap!
Have a great weekend and do make it to one of our services on Saturday or Sunday – remember, we are committed to gathering, growing, giving and going.
