Star-Spangled Day

Bikes were everywhere. Sixty children decorated and then rode bikes in a parade. Only a few needed band-aids. I was reminded that many children do not play outdoors much so what we are offering is special to them. Approximately 4 hours in the sun. No video games or television. What fun!

Today they learned about freedom. It is the 4th of July week. John 8:32 reminds us that Jesus can set us free.

Many of the children attending do not attend FBC. I don't know how many attend church anywhere but all are learning that FBC is a place that is fun, where they are safe, and people truly care about them. Pray that God's love will be overflowing in our lives.

Adults and teenagers are helping each week. Some do not have a specific "job" but just roam and connect with kids. That's what Fun in the Son is all about. Building relationships.

And how about the weather? The first two Tuesdays have been beautiful days for Fun in the Son.

Can't wait for next Tuesday! Carnival is the theme.
