When the kids outnumber the adults

Journey to Narnia continues to be a blessing to everyone involved. On Wednesday, we built Mr. and Mrs. Beaver's house and ate beaver snacks in front of their "fire place." It's really cool at St. Alban's to see the middle school group outnumber our children's group (last year it was the opposite) and faithful Sr. High helpers. The children discussed how Edmund betrayed everyone and the effects of his poor decision. We also discussed how Edmund's betrayal of his siblings and the beavers put their lives in danger. We compared that to our own sin and talked about how Jesus lived a perfect life in our place and took our punishment for sin and how now we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live our lives devoted to the Lord. The kids learned their memory verses and were able to pick prizes out of the "treasure chest." They also sang "Lord I Lift Your Name on High" with motions and "How Great Is Our God" with live guitar/keyboard accompaniment. The children/youth ministry outnumbers the adult ministry during Wednesday night lent studies at St. Alban's. Please continue to pray that God will move powerfully during out times together.
