It is hard to believe that “summer” is coming to an end here! The public school is back in session next week... With that we will have a “move up” Sunday August 7th!!! Many of our kids have been asking to go to their new class and they will soon get that opportunity! Our pre-k students will move up into the Motion class, first graders will now be All-Stars, the 5th graders move into the Loop and our 7th graders will now be a part of student ministry! It will be an exciting Sunday!

The last two weeks have been a bit busy for LifeKIDS and our volunteers! We enjoyed a fun family evening at the pool Sunday, July 17th! We had just under 100 people there to enjoy the pool, a yummy dinner and fellowship with one another to honor and thank our LifeKIDS volunteers!!! Times like that just don’t happen enough as far as I’m concerned! Surrounding yourself with others who love the Lord is so important as it says in Proverbs 27:17 “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”

Friday, July 22nd was our annual Back to School Bash where we celebrate the children in LifeKIDS! This years theme was “Under the Big Top” and we had a carnival/circus set up! It took many volunteers and I could never thank each of them enough for their time and hearts! The kids had so much fun playing games, eating cotton candy, winning prizes and just enjoying the outdoors!! The night was topped off with “Magic with a Message” by a magician! He used the armor of God to share the gospel through balloon art and so much more!

Have a great week!

Week 2 of At The Movies has come and gone, but we still have 2 more weeks to go!

- Sunday we looked tackling the fear of failure by looking at the original Karate Kid. Daniel Larusso overcomes his fear of failing in this movie. As we looked at the movie and how it lined up according to what God's word says about overcoming this fear I challenged everyone to consider 3 thoughts:
1. You will fail.

2. You can overcome.
…for though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again…
Proverbs 24:16

3. You must take faith risks.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Galatians 6:9

- We have a couple new Life Groups that are up and running. Be sure and check out the updated LG page on our website.

- Be sure to invite someone for this Sunday. Week 3 of At The Movies might be the best week yet!

Have a great week.

Whoa, it's been a busy few weeks at Life Church Franklin! Here's a few thoughts about what's going on:

- Sunday we kicked off At The Movies with a bang! It was an incredible morning or worship and learning. I was thrilled to share from 1 Kings 19 about Elijah. We looked at the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop to talk about moving from discouragement to encouragement just as the prophet Elijah did.

- Our Servolution team was in full effect again this week. They served cold water and fun stuff to people downtown during the 4th of July parade.

- LifeKIDS is holding a movie night this Friday starting at 8:30pm at the McCollum House in downtown Franklin. Bring your kids, chairs and blankets and join us for some fun.

- Now, on to week 2 of At The Movies. What will this week's movie be? Come join us to find out!

Summer is in full swing with family, friends, parties and fun!! This past Sunday we had several families bring visitors in LifeKIDS! I love seeing new people and especially seeing our Life Church Family excited to bring their friends and family to church with them! I personally was able to have family members visit this week and loved hearing how much “fun” the kids had in church! This is not what they are used to and I pray that through LifeKIDS families are able to see Jesus and feel unconditional love! I have had several grandparents tell me how much their grandchildren love to come to Life Church LifeKIDS when they visit! Great job LifeKIDS team, you do an amazing job each week!

We have a busy month ahead of us for LifeKIDS!!! Our second Movie Night at the McCollum House will happen this Friday, July8th at 8:30! We are underway with planning our Back To School Bash “Under The Big Top” scheduled for July 22nd also at the McCollum House! Last year we did “The Great Campout” and it went well! I am praying for just as many volunteers and even more participants this year!!!

School starts in Macon County August 4th and we will have our “Move-Up” Sunday August 7th where students will move-up according to their new grade level! Many students have been asking about when they can go to their new room!! I can’t believe it is less than a month away!

At the movies came in with a bang this week! The the red carpet was rolled out, paparazzi met and cheered people as they arrived, there were many photo opportunities with the “characters”, popcorn, candy and Patrick taught about discouragement and encouragement using the movie “Mall Cop”! Don’t miss this series, we have three more weeks of At the Movies, I hope to see you there!

Have a great week,
