The Great Adventure

Listen

When you join us online this Sunday, you’re going to notice it’s a bit different to our new ‘normal’ online services. Each year we take a Sunday to intentionally celebrate the kids in our church and to give our Junior Soldiers, those who are on an intentional discipleship journey, the opportunity to think about and renew the promise they have made to God. Although we cannot meet together and have this special renewal day at church, we would still love to engage with our children in a different way. You’ll see a few of our kids involved this Sunday and many others have worked in the background to participate - thank you. We have a great group of kids and a great team of kids leaders in our church. People who love God and serve him wholeheartedly. Thank you especially to our key leaders, Jason for Junior Band, Maddy for Kids Club and Amanda and Brooke for kids church and Junior Soldiers. They all coordinate teams of people who serve beautifully. We are proud of you all. And a huge thank you to Amanda who has played a big role in putting our service together today. We also have a special guest, Divisional Children’s Secretary, Captain Susanne Geracia, who will be encouraging us about staying on track during in The Great Adventure of life. How can we stay on track even when things are tough? This message is relevant for all, as we are all on this adventure. Every Great Adventure has ups and downs, easy spots and challenges, surprises and fun! Every Great Adventure also has a destination or goal, but there may be lots of different ways to get there. Sometimes we can take little detours but it’s important from time to time to stop and check that we are on track. We might even have to take action, make different choices or ask for help to get back on track. The goal for this adventure is to be closer and closer to Jesus. The best news is, that Jesus also wants to be closer and closer to us!! So this Sunday, we are going to think about these questions: • How do we know where to go or what direction to take? • What will help us to stay on track? • What can we do if we get off track?
