Butterfly and Transformer Balloons

 
Today at Hesston MB, we celebrate what Jesus did for us through his life, death and resurrection as we present butterfly or Transformer balloons to children who have made the decision to follow Jesus.  I am excited for these 6 kids as this is the most important decision they will ever make. 
 
Why butterflies & Transformers?  Because of 2 Corinthians 5:17 which says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." We discuss the change that happened when they decided to follow Christ.  At the end of the presentation, we celebrate as a congregation what Jesus has done on our behalf.
