Mark 4:35-41, Jesus Calms The Storm

Water Slide – Take a wet and wild ride down the water slide into the pool. Kids will learn that when we put our faith in Jesus, some wild things can happen.

Diving Board – Some people take forever getting into to pool one inch at a time, while others dive right in. Kids will learn that when we dive in with Jesus, he gives our lives joy and purpose.
Luke 5:1-11, Calling The First Disciples
Cannonball! – The best way to make a splash is with a cannonball. When we give our hearts to Jesus he surrounds us and fills us with his love. Kids will learn that the best way to “make a splash” for Jesus is to ask Jesus to come into their hearts.
Romans 10:9 Confessing Jesus as Lord
