Sunday 8/23 in the Zone

Today we welcomed in some new 1st graders and reviewed how we do things in the Zone.

Then, because of the new school year we watched "The Gourds Must Be Crazy" from the Veggie Tales DVD God Made You Special https://bigidea.com/products/shows/shows_content.aspx?pid=132. In this story there is discussion people who are different from us, that might seem "weird" because we don't understand. There is an emphasis in this story on looking at people not as weird but as different, but perfect the way they are. God made each of us (fearfully and wonderfully made - Psalm 139) for a purpose...to love Him and to glorify Him.

All of us, especially kids beginning a new school year, have an opportunity to show love and compassion to other people, even if they are different from us. You never know when the new kid at school, that you first thought was weird, will save your spaceship by eating the popcorn asteroid (ask the kids who were in the Zone today).

Parents: Please let me know at any time if you have questions about what we are doing. You are always welcome to join us to check things out for yourself!
