GREAT TIME AT THE GRAND PRIX

The Grand Prix was another rousing success! Everyone had a great time watching the races....the cars seem to get better and more complicated every year. Well done everyone. From Sponge Bob Squarepants, to penguins, to Snoopy and the traditional racing car, the cars looked great.
All the glory belongs to God.....thanks for a great time LORD.
Just a reminder, there are only two weeks of Awana left before the year end BBQ and awards nite on April 19th. Please plan to attend and invite your families out as we celebrate the hard work of the clubbers, volunteers and the work of God in our lives. Supper is provided at 6 pm, with a short program to follow.

Let the races begin!

The Grand Prix is set for tomorrow, March 29th. Please arrive at 6:15 PM for registration. Just a reminder, the club will not be weighing cars down, it is your responsibility to ensure your car is heavy enough (with out going over the 150 gram maximum). We will be available to drill out cars that exceed the maximum racing weight.
It's an exciting event, and we want to invite everyone out to it. Hot dogs and drinks will be served immediately upon arrival, so not one will have to go hungry, and there is no cost for the food.
Remember this is a fun event, without the pressures of expectations. It's a great time to work on the cars as a family and enjoy the time together in a busy and fast paced world.
See you all there tomorrow night!

The Home Stretch

Awana returns on March 22nd. We're in the home stretch of the year, with only a few weeks left. Again I can't believe how fast it has gone by......
The Grand Prix is next Tuesday, so please have your cars ready to go......
I hope everyone had a good and relaxing spring break....now I'm ready for the nice weather to arrive. The great news is that some golf courses are already open....YEAH! That means summer is around the corner.
See you all tomorrow nite....and remember that there was a Commander's challenge posted over spring break...big points to the teams that get the answer.


    

SPRING BREAK!!

Here we are again enjoying another spring break....just wish the weather would match the season.....how I long for the emerald green of the golf course, the smell of freshly cut grass. The sound of my golf club smacking into the backside of a dimpled white ball, watching it scream into the air (and usually into a densley treed area).
Well, that vision will soon come to be...in the meantime I'm going to resolve myself to enjoy studying the Bible more deeply. I want to feel what it was like to "walk in the cool of the day" with the LORD in the garden of Eden. Feel the rain pound down on the earth, safely tucked away in the salvation that the Ark presented. Meet Moses at the burning bush, as the great I AM spoke to him about using him in a mighty way. Walk with Joshua as he leads Isarel into the promised land via those great military campaigns of Biblical history. Learn from the victories and defeats of Israel's kings of the past, both righteous and wicked.
I want to smell the salty air of the Dead Sea, walk with Jesus as He ministers and blows the socks off the religious and social establishment of the day. Watch in wonder as He heals diseases which we, with all of our scientific advances, still cannot cure. Stand in awe as Jesus calls Lazarus from the dead.
Feel what it was like to be a part of a great thing that was happening in the days of the early church as Joel's prophecy comes true, that God's Spirit would be poured out on His people at Pentecost.
There is truly no better way of getting to know God than through the prayerful study of His Word. Often I'm willing to put in an effort in my human relationships, but to my shame, I often neglect the Lord.
This spring break, I'm going to recommit myself to the study of His Word and the LORD of Heaven and Earth. My Creator and Redeemer. He who knows me better that I know myself. The God who knows the number of hairs on my head and the steps of my days.
I want to know Him more, and I pray that you do too.......after all God gave His only Beloved Son in order to have a relationship with us. Studying His Word and prayerfully seeking Him and ministering to those around us is the least we can do.....
Enjoy spring break, I know I will.  I'll be going to the driving range in a futile attempt to straighten out my drive. But don't enjoy this life too much, invest in eternal things. After all our lives are hidden in Christ and the best is yet to come! Read about it in a Bible near you........
