Big Stuff Can Fit in Small Moments

There was a whole thing of things going on during Children’s Moment this Sunday.  Dr. Jason made an exciting announcement.  Rachel Woodall will be joining Kingsway as an Associate Pastor/Coordinator of Youth Ministry.  Welcome Rachel!  We are so excited to have you at Kingsway.

 

 

Then Elizabeth talked about magnets and paperclips.  How they are drawn to each other and stick to each other. 

How can we be close to to God and Jesus?  We can pray!  That will keep us close.

After church, it was on to Kingsway’s Annual Chili Cook-Off.  It drew quite the crowd.

This cutie sat at my table.

 

Twelve entries!  They all looked so good.

 

Oh, we went back for seconds, and some thirds.

 

After the judges did a blind taste test, Greg announced the winner.

   

Seriously?  The minister?  You’ve got to be kidding!  But he wasn’t .  Jason won with his “What the Hell?” chili. 

 

Looks good, doesn’t it?

His prize?  This handy, dandy chili pepper bandana.  I believe Katelyn looks much better in it than Jason would.

 

Congratulations Jason!  At least until next year……

Can You Measure God’s Love?

Linda tried her best to convince the children that you CAN measure God’s love. 

She tried it with a small measuring cup, then a big one.

and Dallas told her You can’t measure God’s love.

She tried it with a ruler, then a yardstick.

and Dallas told her You can’t measure God’s love.

She tried it with a watch.

and Dallas told her You can’t measure God’s love.

These are the children that agreed with Linda:

These are the children that agreed with Dallas:

Sorry Linda.  Thankfully, God’s love is IMMEASURABLE!

Passages Game Night

It’s that time again – Passages Game Night at the Royle house, where rules are subject to change at a moment’s notice!

Guess what this is!  You’ll have to scroll all the way to the end to find out.

First, there was some incredible food courtesy of Heather.

   

Then we drew numbers for our teams.

 

There were lots of folks.

Bill and Susan

 

Nick and Cindy

 

Carey

 

Wes, Jocelyn, and Paul

Rudy

Rebel

Rudy and me are close friends.  Both of us are looking a little fuzzy here.

First we played Fact or Crap...

Then we tried Mad Gab.  For about 3 minutes.

The grand finale – Pictionary.  Let me show you.

Wes drew:  Harley Davidson

 

Paul was next with:  Liposuction.  (I know, we found it hard to believe too!)

Cindy drew:  Yacht

 

Susan was very serious about her game.  See how she’s thinking REALLY hard about her word:  Little.

 

Bill said she should have drawn a picture of Maggie and Liam.  Apparently Maggie use to call Liam “Little”.

Andy was up next.

 

Horse Race.  Believe it or not his horse started out as a car and then converted to the animal.

 

It is very dangerous to play a game with tons of laughter when you are 7 months pregnant!

 

Jocelyn:  Solid.  Can you see it?  Don’t worry, neither could we.

 

Jason with his Swiss Humpty Dumpty.

 

Andy with his Force Field.

 

Bill with an incredible version of Fear.

 

Andy:  Chauffeur.  I got this!

 

Here’s Susan.  Thinking again.

 

For her many versions of Shade.

 

Jason:  North America.  Well, at least half of it.

 

Paul with the finale:  Eel

 

Did you guess it?  Are you sure?

Take another look.

CARVE!  That’s right, CARVE!  See the knife?  No, that’s not a slug Wes.  It’s a…

………

Turkey 

 

Yes folks!  That is a turkey getting ready to be carved with a knife!  No really, it’s a turkey. 

Big round blob + antennae = TURKEY
