Let The Games Begin!

By Cheryl VanBebber

February 2008

This year Kaleidoscope focuses on the summer Olympics in Beijing, China. We would like to invite Kansas-Nebraska children in grades 1-6 to take part in the run of their lives — sharing Jesus around the world.

One of the most moving parts of the Olympics is when the torch that has been carried from Athens, Greece, (site of the first Olympics), enters the stadium of the current Olympics.

During Kaleidoscope, the torches entering the host churches will represent the gospel that we carry around the world.

• On your Mark — Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Get set — Register your church by April 1. Cost is $5 per person. Everyone will need a sack lunch. Host churches will provide drinks.
• Go — There are five locations throughout Kansas and Nebraska:  Bethel Baptist, Scottsbluff, Neb.; Bethel Baptist, Lincoln, Neb.; Covenant Baptist, Topeka, Kan.; First Southern Baptist, Pratt, Kan.; First Southern Baptist, Arkansas City, Kan.

Be the first to the finish line and register your children for the chance to hear and share the gospel of Christ around the world.
