Dad & Kid Water Day

Hey Dads! What memories are you making with your kids this summer? What have you done with them that is reminding them of your love? What are you doing just for fun? What have you taught them about God?

The Saturday before I left for Atlanta, I organized a Dad & Kid Water Day at the church. We had a few families show up and we had a great time. This would be simple for you to do at home (except for those in Hesston because of the outdoor watering restrictions possibly coming). All you need to do is get a few squirt guns and look on the internet for some fun games. Here is a list of what we did:

  • Slip N Slides
  • Sponge Relay
  • Water Balloon Relay
  • Dip, Dip, Dump
  • Exterminator
  • Wet & Wild Kick Ball (or Wiffle Ball)
  • Mr. Whale, What Time is it?
  • Squirt Gun Fight
Dads, our kids need us! Make it a priority to finish the summer well by showing love, having fun, and passing on your faith.

    The girls loved the wiffle ball game with all the water bases. They kept telling me about it all week. Donnie thought it was great as well. Thanks for giving all your time and effort to put it together.

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

Sermon Notes "Plans" based on Acts 10:24-48

Introduction: I would like you to think about the word “plans”. Write down on your bulletin some plans you have for: this week, summer, your future, etc.   I am a planner so I love to know what is going to happen.   Yet we also need to keep in mind a Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” We are going to see from the story of Peter and Cornelius, two great leaders who had plans yet God had a different plan and purpose for them and for others. Prepared- vs. 24-29 ·          Vs. 23-24-Peter and Cornelius have visions (10:1-23) o    Peter is told not to call common what God has made clean (15). As Peter is trying to figure out what it means, some men come and find him. o    Cornelius is told to call for a man named Peter and is given his location and he sends his servants to find him. o    Peter makes preparations and goes to Caesarea, Cornelius gets ready for his guests and invites his close fr
