Crenshaw Kids

 Happy Thursday Crenshaw Kids! Yesterday I had the best day!   I was up early and Bentley and I set out on a field trip to Lynchburg to an aquarium called Seaquest.   It is only an hour and 20 minutes from Blackstone...you must take a day trip there sometime!   When we arrived we met Aunt Savannah and entered the aquarium.   When Bentley walked in he was amazed.   Amazed isn't even the best word to describe the excitement and aww in his expressions.   This reminded me that God is so so so incredible!   HE made all these things.   All the tiny details...all the wonderment.    “He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.” – Psalm 23:2-3, NIV When we look at nature, we can remember God, who created it. Nature can be awe-inspiring, even to the point of being almost incomprehensible. The richness of a sunset, the twinkle of stars and the diversity of animals all witness to a creato

  Our "FATHER" who art in heaven.... What kind of father might wear a crown like this? A king?    Our heavenly Father is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! He gave us men in our lives here on earth that guide us, love us and teach us.    This coming Sunday is Father's Day!!!      We will celebrate at 9:00 by sharing fellowship a donut with special men of Crenshaw and we will praise our Heavenly Father and give Him all the glory!! Weather permitting we will meet in the pavilion area instead of the downstairs fellowship hall area.   Just look for the gathering crowd and the sweet smell of donuts!

  Kids hold a special place in the heart of Jesus.  The Bible tells of many times that Jesus did special things with the kids around Him.  Children sat in Jesus’ lap. Jesus healed a little boy. He used another boy’s lunch to feed 5,000 people. Jesus told adults they needed faith like that of the children.  He even raised one little girl from the dead!    All of these things were wonderful, but most importantly, Jesus wanted all the children to ultimately have a personal relationship with Him.   That’s right!   The desire of Jesus’ heart is to see all children become Christians so they can live with Him forever.  Imagine that!  Jesus wants to be your best friend, and He wants to spend forever with you.  That’s even better than being best friends with the toughest kid, the most popular kid, and the smartest kid in school - all at the same time!  Everyone knows you can’t be best friends with someone if you never spend time with them. It works the same way with Jesus.  First of all, you ne

We’re coming to the end of the school year and I’m excited about the future children’s programming at Crenshaw!!!  Summer is a slower pace for most families and I am looking forward to hearing about your adventures.  I will be on my own "restful" time and during this time I promise to pray for you and your safe fun times!   I will also be working on exciting fall plans for Sunday school and children's church!    During the summer months we will continue with our Sunday school time.   Beginning at 9:00 we will meet for singing and adventure sharing!   After, we will split into smaller groups and hear about some interesting characters in our bible that you may not have ever heard of before. In the month of June, we will take a look at some father's in the bible.    Here is a sneak peek! June 5 Mordecai: A Father by Choice...Ester 2:7 June 12 Mark 9:23.  A father's son is healed! June 19!!!   Father's Day!   Donuts with a dad during SS.   During this time we will
