LifeKIDS With Lisa

This year we had service on the Eve of Christmas Eve and LifeKIDS was in full swing with a bit of a different feel! To celebrate the birth of Christ the classes were involved in a few fun activities! Our Loop class (5th and 6th) graders were given the opportunity to serve in the younger classrooms and they loved it! After participating in the adult worship experience the All-Stars classes had a lesson on Jesus gift is Salvation and then enjoyed a few fun filled crafts and games! Motion and Quest 3 were excited to celebrate Jesus with a Happy Birthday Jesus party with cake and balloons! Even our 2 year olds got into their nativity sticker activity!
I heard feedback from a few parents stating:
A two year old was naming his nativity pieces after creating the sticker activity!
A three year old started the day Christmas Eve telling his family “Jesus is born”!!
A visitor told the family, “If they do that LifeKIDS thing again, I want to come back”!
Out of the mouths of babe’s! What a blessing they are!

As you reflect on 2011 and look toward 2012 remember “All things are possible with God”, don’t try to do it without Him!

Happy New Year,

- Wrapping up the 2011 year we celebrated the birth of Jesus with our EVE of CHRISTMAS EVE experience on Friday night. It was such a greta time of celebration and worship. It was an honor to be a party of it.

- I am once again so proud of the amazing volunteers at our church. These people work so hard to make our church happen every week. LifeKIDS, Host Team, Worship Team and more just gave everything they had to help make Friday night happen. It was a joy to be a part of it!

- The year is winding down and if you feel God leading you to do so I'd ecourage you to consider a year end gift to Life Church. You can do it safe and secure online at www.lifechurchfranklin.com/give .  I know there are lots of great organizations to give to, but I believe in our church more than anything. We will continue to passionately lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ in 2012!

- If you missed Friday night's message watch is right now:

Happy New Year!

- What a great weekend! Week 3 of Carols was an amazing message where Pastor Craig Groeschel. What a challenge to live a fully surrendered life to Christ. Take time and visit the Current Series link on our site to watch the message if you missed it. Life Church Franklin Online.

- The worship team did a wonderful job leading us in Christmas songs of worship. It's not easy for these guys to learn and play these songs just a couple times a year at Christmas and I thought they did a great job. Watching our church worship through song is amazing!

- Friday night is our Eve of Christmas Eve worship experience and it's lining up to be very special. We hope you will invite any and everyone you can to this unique experience. We will start at 7pm at Mountain View 5/6 School. There is LifeKIDs for children 6months through 4th grade. We can't wait to see you there!

Merry Christmas!

Eve of Christmas Eve at Life Church

A quick reminder from Pastor Patrick about the Eve of Christmas Eve worship experience coming up next week. Check this out:

I recently read in a devotion by E.M. Bounds on CHARACTER AND CONDUCT:
Conduct, is what we do; character, is what we are. Conduct is the
outward life. Character is the life unseen, hidden within, yet
evidenced by that which is seen. Conduct is external, seen from
without; character is internal -- operating within. In the economy of
grace conduct is the offspring of character. Character is the state of
the heart, conduct its outward expression. Character is the root of
the tree, conduct, the fruit it bears.

I think about the family and the impact we the church can have on the
lives of the children, I pray that parents understand how important
their character and conduct is in the lives of their own children!
Parents are the most important role model a child has!!!Others that
have influence on a child should be there to come along side and
enhance what the parents have begun!

Make sure you are instilling Biblical truths into your children, with
the web today there are so many resources out there like Keys for Kids
at http://www.cbhministries.org/ForKids/KeysforKids/ReadListen.aspx
and I recently found an advent calendar on
http://ministry-to-children.com/online-advent-calendar-for-families/
Make family time to have game night, pray together as a family, let
you children see you reading the Bible!!

I know many families that are diligent in raising up the next
generation to be a generation that seeks Him and it is evident through
the character and conduct of their children!

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will
not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
