Last year, I wrote a curriculum for our 2nd-4th grade classes at our mid-week program at church called Hide N Seek.  The curriculum focused on who God is. As part of that curriculum, my friend Brittni Rhodes, made images to convey the truth about who God is.  I would like to start sharing these images weekly as a reminder of the good, great, and awesome God we have.  

Introduction: How many of you enjoy a game of Hide and Seek?   Do you enjoy hiding or seeking more?   Throughout Scripture, we see the idea of hide and seek.   So because it is the Hide N Seek program today, I plan to share a few Scriptures to remind us of our HNS Theme Verses: Keep me as the apple of your eye; HIDE me in the shadow of your wings, (Psalm 17:8) & 33  But SEEK first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33) Hide-- Throughout Scripture, God Hides Us ·          When was the first mention of hiding in the Bible?   In the garden, after Adam and Eve sinned. Despite their sin, God found them and shared the gospel for the first time (Genesis 3:15-he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel) ·          All of us are tempted to hide when we sin.   But God through Jesus has made a way ...

It's hard to believe that another year of Hide N Seek has come and gone.  Hide N Seek is our midweek ministry to 4 year olds through 4th grade students at Hesston MB Church. Each year we end with a program for families and the congregation.  This used to occur in the evening, but the last few years we have moved it to Sunday during our worship service. At the program, our kid's choir will sing several songs they have learned this year.  You will also hear the Bible verses that each of the age groups have learned during Bible Memory.  I encourage you to come out and support our kids and you will be blessed as they share their gifts of song and scripture with you.  Our worship service is at 10:10 a.m. and our address is 610 W. Randall in Hesston, KS.

Today is the Kid's Christmas Program at Hesston MB.  Join us at 10:10 for our worship service which will include 2 and 3 year old and preschool and Kindergarten Go Deeper Hour Classes singing as well as the Hide N Seek Kid's Choir. As I always say, you never know what will happen at a Christmas program. A special thanks to Lisa Yoder, Traci Hickman, and Nancy Hofer for all their work on Wednesday nights with the choir.  The program this year is titled, "Angels, Say What?" Here are a few pictures of programs over the years:

Tonight, I meet with all of our Hide N Seek leaders to prepare them for the year ahead.  These leaders are so important as they "make disciples who make disciples" with our children 4 years old through 4th grade.  It is a blessing to see these leaders use their gifts to glorify God and further His kingdom.  Please remember to pray for leaders who invest in the next generation.  Thank you to everyone who said yes to Hide N Seek, fuzion, LIFE, and Hesston Youth for this year!  We appreciate you and I will definitely pray for you.

Here are my notes from my message today at Hesston MB: Opening: Recognition of Hide N Seek Leaders Introduction: Theme Verse: “How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.   I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.” Psalm 119:9-11 Game of Hide and Seek-Which do you like more: hiding or seeking? Our Hide & Seek ·          Genesis 3:8-10-Because of sin, We Hide o    Ever since the Fall, we have been hiding our sin from God and others.   Think about it.   When you sin, do you tell God or others? I can only speak for myself but I hide.   o    We hide our struggles and hurts from others and even our church family.   The church, place that should be safe to share our sin and struggles is usually the last place where it is shared.   Why?   Becaus...
