This week in the ROCK & Extreme… kids will worship with their families at Church in the Park 2010! For more information about Church in the Park, click here. We will continue to talk about RESPECT next week and learn what God has to say about it in His Word. This week we encourage you to check out the video by click on “RESPECT” below, talk to your child about respect, ask them what they learned last Sunday. Ask them about people in their lives that they could work on respecting and how it honors God when we show respect to others. Below is the virtue, memory verse, & bottom line we will continue to learn about for the month of September, plus links for printable versions of both the Fridge Door & GodTime Cards if you missed them this past Sunday. We will see you at Church in the Park!

Have you heard of ORANGE? Maybe you’ve seen leaders at church wearing T’shirts advertising ORANGE. Perhaps you’ve overheard one teacher to another talking about an upcoming event that is very “orangy”. Have you wondered what it is, what they were talking about? It occures to me the more and more excited I am about it from the church’s perspective, it might be a good idea to get parents on board too!

You can join the celebration at Westside’s KCK Teen Home! Volunteers are needed the next few Saturday’s to get the home ready to open. Some of the work to be done includes: yard work, painting, drywall, plumbing, electrical, carpentry, cleaning (floors, kitchens, bathrooms, furniture), moving furniture, etc. If you are available to help any day please email and let us know.
There was hard work and reason to celebrate as more than thirty volunteers from six different churches worked at the KCK Teen Home on Saturday, August 21. Volunteers plumbed sinks, tore out drywall, cleaned furniture, made beds, stocked kitchens, and more. While Westside Family Church has funded the rennovation and first year of the home, and Hillcrest Transitional Housing is the lead organization, this KCK Teen Home is a great example of the Church working together.
