“Jimmy the Number One Fan” made a repeat appearance with a new friend Gergu.

They lit the G4G torch and challenged one lucky 4th Grader to the first Olympic challenges. Unfortunately, Jimmy won the challenge and our athlete ended up in the slime tank.

Together we watched a great video put together by Gerik Parmele featuring responses kids at The Crossing initially had about our word of the night “Race.” This word came from our memory verse Hebrews 12:1-2a

Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus.
Hebrews 12:1-2a

We took a closer look at this word together at “Beyond the Gold,” our Bible Story component for the evening. We learned that our race is our life-long journey of believing in Jesus and met the Apostle Paul who told the story of how his race began in Acts 9. We learned that God must open our eyes for us to “see” and believe the Gospel. Once God opens our eyes, everything changes. We see the finish line and begin to run the race with purpose rather than in circles or the opposite direction.

As you can see from the pictures below, there was also plenty of time for laughter, food, art, games, friendship, serving, dancing, worship, and fun.

We would also like to congratulate the winners of our Grafitti Board Team Challenge for Night One: Winners:

3rd Grade Dark Green Kenya, 3rd Grade Black Belgium, and 2nd Grade Gold Jamaica.

Ways to Follow Up at Home

1. Have your child share what the white ring on his/her bracelet symbolizes.

White Ring Explanation: On a track, runners line up at the white starting line. This white ring reminds us that, if we are trusting in Jesus, then our race has started. Our life-long journey of believing in Jesus has begun and, like Paul, now our lives will forever be changed.

2. Discuss a few of the following review questions together.
- What is your race? What does it/ did it begin?
- How is your life like a race, if you are believing in Jesus?
- How does believing in Jesus change our lives forever?

See you tomorrow evening for night two of Go for Gold!
