Sunday afternoon in Fremont, NE was John C. Fremont Days and there was a big parade. If you notice in the picture above that Jordan is waving...there is a funny story that goes with that. You see, in his mind, if you wave they WILL give you candy. We are still trying to get rid of all three bags of candy our kids got at the parade.
Calvary Baptist Church had an entry in the parade promoting the VBS that started that Sunday night.
The float was decorated in an Armor of God theme since I was going to teach on Eph. 6 during the VBS week. It was a very hot afternoon for the parade, and the church handed out flyers and icy-pops.
The main room that was used for opening and closing time was decorated with camouflage and army gear. The kids were put into two teams: Girls-Foxtrot and Boys-Delta.
During the opening time the kids were challenged by Sargent Street to follow the Commander's orders and read the "Field Manual".
I was given two 30 minute time slots to teach the children.
Topics covered were the following:
-Who is God?
-What is Sin?
-Who is our Enemy?
-How to join God's Army
-Being a Good Soldier of Jesus Christ?
-How should we defend ourselves and fight our enemy?
I had one boy ask me to explain Salvation further after one of the sessions. The boy told me that he gets saved every Sunday at church when he prays. Read Pastor Adam Love's take on that situation by clicking HERE.
We are praying for effective follow-up that needs to be done with this boy (and mom) and the many others that came throughout the week.
