During the weekend of July 10th & 11th, Kids in Missions had 2 awesome opportunities to share the love of Jesus first at a beach and then at our church picnic. A group of 19 from our group cramped into 2 school mini-busses and headed over to our annual Ocean Grove NJ beach pavilion outreach. This has been a tradition of ours since 1997! We drove through many downpours of rain along the way and once we got to Ocean Grove, we did not see very many people on the beach or in the pavilion. Just before we were to begin ministry at 3:00, it began to rain real hard. Many "ran for cover" under the pavilion and we had a decent crowd! Our Kids did a great job doing their dramas, puppet songs and lead with the fun songs. We also had a lot of fun stopping by Day's Ice cream for some awesome ice cream!
On July 11th after our 12:15 pm service, Kids in Missions ministered to a large crowd of kids, parents and grandparents at our annual picnic. In spite of the hot hot weather, we were able to share God's love with many. It is so incredible to think of the freedom we have in this country to share out in the open air about Jesus without being afraid of getting arrested!
It was a great weekend and we know God has lots in store for us this summer!
