Jesus blesses the children!

"I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
Mark 10:15-16

On Sunday, we shared the message of forgiveness in Christ with a simple object lesson; using a helium balloon representing people and weights attached to the balloon representing sin that keeps us separated from God. We then explained how all of our balloons have these weights attached and how Jesus' death on the cross releases us from them, which allows our balloon to rise into Heaven.
As a result, 11 children accepted Jesus for the first time.
Please take time to thank God and to pray for the kids. Those who accepted Jesus were:

Kloe Hale
Jeremy Goggins
Jason Sanchez
Molly Halter
Lauren Albrecht
Alex Gomez
McKenzie Gomez
Julia Wagner
Gabby Smith
Ketter Kruse
Jade Edwards
