myLIFE Easter Sneak Peak

Can you keep a secret? This Easter is going to be off the chain awesome in myLIFE Troy. We already have over 5000 eggs for the kids to find that morning during the 10 am service. There will be big prizes, games, candy, music and more. I even heard that the kids will be doing two of our awesome songs in the main service.

The kids will be experiencing a five week series called “Trade Ya”. Jesus did so much for us and traded what we had for what He has. It seems like He got the short end of that trade.We will discover how Jesus traded our wrongs for His rights, our sickness for His health, our fear for His faith, our needs for His riches, and our lives for His life.

In correlation with that series there will be a visitor contest for the kids. The kids need to bring their peeps to church! There will even be some super funny videos involved that we may even let you adults get to see.

Stay tuned for more information but remember to keep this all our secret.

New Kid’s Reward Program “My Bible Bucks Store”

I believe that God is a rewarder and when I grow up I want to be just like Him. That’s why we have started a new rewards program for elementary students, “My Bible Bucks Store”. They can earn points to spend on various rewards.

All the “bucks” or points are recorded on a computer database so they can never be lost or stolen. (Yes we know that its ridiculous to think that things could be stolen from church, but it happens.) We will eventually issue cards that they need to show to spend their “bucks”. They will earn points on Sundays, Wednesdays and any special services.

Here are some of the ways to earn points:

+1 Attendance
+5 Brought 1st time friend
+1 Brought 2nd time friend
+1 Brought 3rd time friend
+1 Brought Bible
+1 Exceptional behavior
+1 Special Question Answered
+1 Verse Memorization
+1 Phrase Memorization
+20 CTWG Completion
+10 Monthly Reading Completion
+10 Special Memorization
+100 March 2012 “Friend-A-Thon”

Here are some of the ways they can spend their bucks:

Candy
Toys of various sizes
Bikes (with lots of saving)
Nintendo Wii (saving… of course)
Xbox 360 (and more saving)
Mission’s giving (donate the proceeds of your savings to mission’s projects)

 

You can get involved with our store by donating funds or toy items. You can also volunteer to help stock and run the store on a once a month basis. Shoot me an email to find out how.
