Unity: ONE God

We went on a Field Trip to "Farm City" today.   We saw all kinds animals, and did science experiments, too

 In all of the looking and walking around, I kept

thinking about God. 

I thought that He was so

awesome because He made every animal here.

Baby Chicks just hatched

Only God could have made so many different things, like the people, the goats, the cows, the chickens, the horses, and the little tiny baby kittens. 

Some people say that the world started with the Big Bang Theory.

But this couldn't have been true.  Something had to have MADE this stuff.   Nothing can't just happen.  Nothing is just Nothing. 

God told us in the Bible that He made world. 

Of all the other planets, this is the only one that can suit life.

All the other persons that people worship were

either only stone, mud, or humans.

For example, Dagon in the Bible was the "god of the harvest." 

When the Ark of the Covenant was

brought in to stand by Dagon,

Dagon fell on his face.

The next day, when they put him back up,

Dagon was broken.  His head and arms were

broken off.  God did that.

All the ones who worshipped Dagon

thought he was real until then.  After God

broke Dagon, those people were scared.

God made them have Tumors because they

worshipped stones and made up gods.

I bet if I went to ancient Egypt, and the Egyptians

were all around, and I went to each of the statues

of their gods, pushed them down and they

broke, they would realize that they were

just statues made of stone.  

Unity: ONE Way

Be Subject to the Elders (I Peter 5:5)

We have some great Elders at our church!  

They lead us in our church.  They are put to certain tests and they have to do a lot of hard work and take care of everyone in the whole congregation.  

They are my friends. 

"Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” -I Peter 5:5

 Our Lads to Leaders kids had a dinner for them.   We all cooked, and did all of the preparing for the dinner.  It took all night Saturday, and then the Dinner was Sunday after services.




Some of the kids made meatballs.

Some of the girls made little garlic bread sticks.

As for me, I got to do the cucumber peeling and grating with a cheese grater.  



We made little slices of cucumbers for the salad. 

We set up fancy tables in the basement of the building. 

 It was not hard, but Mrs. Ashley wanted us to set the silverware perfectly. 

The napkins had to be placed on the table just so. 

Next, we made Desserts, which were little brownies put in cups, then made in layers of pumpkins and then brownies and pumpkin again.  Then at the top we put whip cream.  












We decorated the Tables with acorns and leaves and little pumpkins and pine cones to make it look like Autumn. 









 Last of all, we made salads for everyone. 

Each kid had an assigned Elder and his wife to tend to.  I got Mr. Larry and his wife.  

He was fun because he talked a lot.   


 

 We talked about fishing, hunting, Arkansas, getting in our Boat, and just having plain fun.

All the kids served the Elders and their wives.

Making the Salad

I like having Elders because they can help me memorize verses, learn about the Bible,

 and they are fun to talk with. 

"So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,

as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed:

shepherd the flock of God that is among you,

exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly,

 as God would have you; not for shameful gain,

but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge,

 but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd appears,

you will receive the unfading crown of glory."

I Peter 5:1-4
