I just finished reading this link to my blog and decided that posting it here would help hold me accountable and remind all of us that we need to worship each week with the "BIG" church people. Some of you have this down and get your fuel each week, some of us struggle with it. Let's get honest and talk about how we can make this work for each member of our team!

Almost Sleep Over Success
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!"
