On January 14, KidzTown offered it's first Almost Sleep Over for the elementary aged kids of Niceville. 87 Kidz attended and participated in the largest almost slumber party in Okaloosa County.
The night began at 6 pm when families were greeted, checked in and kidz were escorted to DownTown KidzTown for the big event. Kidz sported their pj's, carried their sleeping bags, pillows and bibles.
Fun and excitement started the evening with activities for every child. Games of every kind were only a "slide" away. Each child was able to slip down to the second floor on a built in slide where they found everything from video games, to ping pong, board games, cards, twister, and much much more in a festive and exciting environment.
DownTown 101, normally an area for kidzchurch services, was transformed in an instant. Sleeping bags and blankets of every color lined the room from front to back. Horton Hears A Who was the movie of the hour from which life lessons of friendship, faithfulness, and biblical principals were highlighted in the evenings small group time.
Snacks for the evening were all donated by parents of attending kids and included popcorn, chex mix, twistlers, fresh fruit, and drinks to wash it all down.
Here's what parents had to say about the event...
~"Can we do this every month?"
~"We went on a date!"
~"We got to hang out with friends and play video games."
~"We will definitely bring our kids again!"

Angel Alert! The Night That Heaven Came Down
What a huge success! The kidz were amazing. All of them really did a super job communicating the message of Jesus and oh how exciting it was to hear those 58 kidz singing Glory! in the Highest! and "Hallelujah, come along and celebrate"
The sweet moments in Jesus Precious Jesus and A Strange Way to Save the World were so moving and special. Wow, I am always humbled at what God does with a group of kidz in order to share His son.
When you see one of our kidz, make sure you let them know what a great job they did.
A special thanks out to everyone who attended and supported the performance in so many ways. I know hearts were nudged in God's direction.
