Man oh man, what a week! I'm tired!!
We just finished our first week of SCCoG Youth Camp, and boy was it great. But man, am I tired! I feel like I could sleep for the next year. I am physically tired, but this week we're gonna talk about being emotionally, physically, and spiritually tired.

Have you ever felt that kind of tired? I mean, you have gone through so much, and you have dealt with so many things that you just feel, “I can’t keep going on like this!”?

Kids and adults deal with a lot of things that can make them tired and weary as well - Sickness, hurt, stress, and more. But God cares for us and takes care of us just like a Shepherd takes care of his sheep. Psalm 23:3 says that God will “renew my strength” when I am feeling weak. When we feel weak, God makes us strong.

In this lesson, we will learn that in our weakest moments, our Good Shepherd shows up and renews our strength. His strength is perfect! His strength gives us all we need to get up and walk down the path He has planned for us.

I need that strength today and over the next few weeks!

Come and join us this Sunday at Greer Kidz!

Last Sunday, I sort of wandered off and visited another church as we attended our family reunion. I can't tell you how much I missed my church family, especially my kids!!! It's good to go and visit other places, but it's better when we come home and be with our family, and I can't wait to see all of you this Sunday!

You know, I don't wander off too much. I love to be at Greer Church of God as often as I can be, and I know you do too. However, that's not always true for us. God calls us His sheep because, like sheep, we often wander off from where God wants us to be.

Sheep do an awful lot of wandering when they don’t have a shepherd. The Shepherd leads them to very peaceful places so that they are not wandering around, stressing out about what to eat or drink.

Life is full of stress! Not just for us adults, but for kids too. Kids have school, sports, tests, bullies, pressure, friendships, and all kinds of things that can really get them stressed out! If they aren’t following the Good Shepherd closely, they can really start to get overwhelmed!

In this lesson, we will learn that there is only ONE place to go when we are stressed. In God’s presence, we find incredible PEACE for our lives.

Through the story of Mary and Martha, we will learn that our Good Shepherd is able to lead us to places of peace when we are stressed.

I look forward to seeing you all this Sunday.

And don't forget.. IT'S FATHER'S DAY! Remember to tell your dad how much you love him and treat him to something good, maybe just a big hug and an I love you!

We have a seat saved for you! We'll see you this Sunday at 11am!

This week, we will start a new series called "Livin The Sheep Life". Over the next 6 weeks, we will look at what it takes to live a life for Christ. This week, we will learn about what it means to be sheep.

When God decided to choose an animal to represent human beings, He chose a sheep. The reason He chose a sheep is because sheep are helpless animals. They can’t take care of themselves, and by themselves, they will just wander and be lost.

Sheep need a shepherd. Shepherds care for the sheep, lead them to green pastures, and care for their every need. Just like sheep need a shepherd, we need God to lead and guide us throughout this life.

In this lesson, we will learn that God wants to be our Good Shepherd. He wants to lead us into the life He has planned for us. If we will follow Him, He will lead us into great things.

We must choose to follow Him. The Good Shepherd won’t force us, but, if we choose to follow, we will never be disappointed.

We look forward to seeing you this week at Greer Kidz Church at Greer Church of God. It's gonna be a great day!

YES!! YOU!!

Last Sunday, we were honored to share our Greer Kidz Kids Church upstairs with everyone. It was a great service! The kids did a great job leading worship, and I am so proud of all of them.

It is ok to be proud of things, but we must always remember to be humble. Humility is an essential element of a Christian's life that every follower of Jesus should make sure to have in their life. Humility is essential for serving God and giving Him all the glory each day.

We learn from the example of King Nebuchadnezzar what can happen if we are prideful. King Nebuchadnezzar was very prideful and took all of the credit and glory for himself, instead of
giving God glory. When God saw this, God removed King Nebuchadnezzar from his position as king of Babylon until he was humbled and began to give God all of the glory.

In this lesson, we will learn that we must choose to be humble and say, “NO!” to pride. It’s a daily choice we must make in order to put others first and keep humility as an essential element in our life.

This week will be another great week for Greer Kidz! and we look forward to seeing all of you here with us!

This week we continue learning from the very first Children's pastor, Moses.

I've been a kids pastor for a long time and I've seen a lot of things. I'm sure, if you've been around kids a lot, you've seen a lot of things. Have you ever left the kids alone for a while and left somebody you thought was responsible in charge just to come back and the whole place be wrecked? The one we left in charge messed up big time and let us down.

But if you think about it, we have all messed up, sinned, and failed God. We all know the pain and shame of sin. Sadly, Christians aren’t always the best at helping those who have sinned get back on track. Too often, we “shoot our wounded” instead of helping them and restoring them.

Moses’ brother, Aaron, made a HUGE mistake. He helped the people of Israel to worship a golden calf instead of worshipping God. Moses was NOT happy with him, and neither was God.

Instead of holding it over Aaron’s head for the rest of his life, Moses gave him a second chance. Moses restored him to a place of leadership and even made him the Chief Priest.

In this lesson, we will learn that even when we fail, God will forgive and restore us if we are humble and repent.

It's gonna be another great week in Greer Kidz Church, come and join us and see all that God is doing!

I've attached a family devotion for you to prepare for this weeks lesson.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, we have seat saved for you... yes you!!!

This week we start a new series at Greer Kidz Kids Church. The series is called "Camp Wilderness", where we will learn stories from the very first Children's Pastor, Moses.

Camp Wilderness promises to be a wild and hilarious adventure through the stories of Moses and the children of Israel as they wandered through the wilderness. This series is a fun look at how we can learn to trust and follow God, even when life feels a little uncertain.

But this series isn’t just about tents, bug spray, and birdhouses (although there’s plenty of that in the misadventures of Cody, you gotta be here to see, lol). This series is about helping us all see that just as God provided for the Israelites in the wilderness, He still provides for us today. Whether it’s direction, forgiveness, strength, or help working as a team, God is faithful to teach and help us with each situation.

Over the next 6 weeks, we will learn that God is right here in the journey with us - teaching, providing, guiding, and helping us navigate life’s unpredictable wilderness moments, and we pray that everyone enjoys this series and that our faith is stretched in the process!

This week, we will learn that we live in a world where kids are constantly worried about having what they need. They hear about how expensive things are and how difficult life is. They wonder, “Will God take care of me?”

That’s why it’s so important that we each learn this foundational truth early on: God is our Provider. In this lesson, we will learn from Exodus 16, where God provided manna and quail to the Israelites in the wilderness. We will learn that God knows what we need before we even ask and can use miracles to take care of us.

This lesson will remind all of us that we serve a God who is not distant or stingy, but one who delights in providing for His children.

Come join us this Sunday at 11am!

We have a seat saved for you and look forward to seeing you here!

Please enjoy this Family Devotion and you prepare for this weeks encounter with Jesus at Greer Kidz!

Here I am at the FOCUS Conference in Cleveland, Tennessee. I get to spend time this weekend with some of the best Kidmin Leaders there is. I am so grateful for this time.

As a Kidmin leader, as a Christian, we must spend time with Jesus so we can accomplish everything He desires from us. We must stay in His word and have a relationship with Him. However, as busy adults, we often get too busy to do what we need to do.

When we first become a Christian, we love spending time with God. We can’t even imagine doing anything without praying first. We just want to spend time with Him and depend on Him for everything.

The longer we serve God, the busier we tend to get. We forget that we NEED God’s power every single day. We begin to become self-reliant instead of God-reliant. When we do this, we end up getting ourselves in a load of trouble. We've already talked a lot about this here at the conference and I can't wait to get back and share with you all.

In the lesson this week, we will learn from the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den that we must depend on God’s power every single day.

We must spend time with Him and receive from Him so that we can accomplish the things He wants to do in our lives. We need God’s power every single day!

I can't wait to be back in church with you all again and see all that God has in store for us!

I look forward to seeing you at 11am!

Another week has passed, and it's time we get to go back to church! I'm so excited that I get to go to church and see all of my friends!

Last Sunday, it was raining really bad and a lot of people chose to stay home rather than go to church. I'm so glad all of you chose to come to church! One of you even rode your bike to church, in the rain, and then rode it back home to get a change of clothes so you could be baptized, and then rode it back! WoW! That's so awesome! Not everyone would do that. In fact, most of the time, many of those in our community would rather stay home then ride their bike to church; in the rain! But you all chose to go against what the crowd may do and you chose to come to church.

You know, it’s not easy to go against the crowd and do things that others probably wouldn't do. I mean, it's so easy just to go with the crowd. But often, we choose to follow the crowd instead of doing what’s right. Children, especially, tend to give in to peer pressure, following others rather than doing what we know is right.

Through the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, we are going to learn all about how important it is to make up our own minds to please God, no matter what. We will learn that, when we live to please God, He will always bless our lives.

In Galatians 1:10a, we find a very important question that we must answer: “Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God?” Taking a stand and pleasing God is much more difficult than trying to please the crowd.

Let us all choose just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Let's all choose to be just like all of you who chose to get up in the rain and come to church, even if it meant riding your bike to get there. Let's all choose to please GOD, not people!

I look forward to seeing all of you this Sunday in Greer Kidz Kids Church! Invite a friend! We have great things happening, and you don't want your friends to miss out on it all!

We have a seat saved for you! Enjoy this Family Devotion as you and your family prepare to join us at Church this Sunday!

Connect Cafe starts at 10am, and worship starts at 11am.

We look forward to seeing you!

it's been 3 weeks since we've been in Greer Kidz Church! We had 2 weeks we missed because of ice or snow and then last week we were in concert with Kings Highway. The snow and ice and singing was great, but when we're not together things just aren't the same!

I love coming together and worshipping together. I especially love coming together and worshipping with this group of kids, because I know their worship is real! It's true and sincere and it blesses me to be a part of it all.

In today's world with AI and everything else it’s hard to tell the difference between what’s real and what’s fake. Whether it’s a knockoff brand, a counterfeit bill, or even a pretend friend in a game, things aren’t always what they seem. But when it comes to God, there’s no confusion - there is only ONE true God!

Elijah was a prophet of God who had to prove to the people of Israel who the ONE true God really was. He was one man of God against 400 prophets of Baal. The challenge was clear— the God who answered by fire would be declared the only true God.

In this lesson, we will discover that there is only ONE true God. Many may claim to be, but only our God is alive, powerful, and worthy of worship!

This is going to be a great Sunday as we come together in praise and worship of the one and only true God!

We have a seat saved for you! Come and join us and bring a friend of 10 with you!
