Mary Magdalene -  Video Game Host

Dress Up the King

EGGciting News... 
Kreek Kids sponsored their quarterly family fun night on Friday, March 4th that was everything it was cracked up to be! Since Easter came early this year, this event had an Easter theme that created a lot of fun and EGGcitement for AC3 families and their friends. Mary Magdalene, a Bible celebrity who was one of the first to visit the empty tomb, was the video game show host for the evening. The game players featured Mr. Bunny, Mrs. Bunny, Baby Bunny and the ever popular Easter Turnip.  (Yes, there is an Easter Turnip:) Friends and Family Pack Winner

Two audience teams were formed that competed in Fear Factor style challenges that revealed the REAL Easter story. There was a bread eating contest, a cross walk, a dress up the king challenge and many more challenges.  The challenges built up to the EGGstra good news of the empty tomb, symbolized in the finale and empty golden egg.

Each family stuffed colored Resurrection Eggs throughout the competition that revealed the Easter story. The eggs were then collected and hidden for a unique flashlight egg hunt. After the show, activity stations included the flashlight egg hunt, a basket making station and a food court where  families ate bunny munchies and could make Resurrection Croissants together. Each child went home with a goodie bag which included a special coloring book and the eggs that they had found during the hunt.

Kreek Kids also had a s
pecial drawing for a Family and Friends Movie Pack valued at $50.00. The big winner of the prize was Jessieanna Campbell and her family.  

Kudos to Jenny Arlt, the event leader, and her faithful team of parents and volunteers for making it an EGGcellent family event!    

The next family and friends event is currently scheduled for Friday, May 6th and will be an in-house movie night on the ‘really BIG’ screen, Kreek Kids style.  So be sure to mark the date on your calendar now!

EGG Facts
Did you know...

A fresh egg will sink in water but a stale one won't.

White shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and ear lobes. Brown shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red ear lobes.

Chickens do not begin to lay eggs until they reach 20 weeks of age, then they will lay about 245 eggs per year.

China produces most eggs, at about 160 billion per year. In the US, about 260 million hens produce more than 65 billion eggs per year. A hen can lay about 250 eggs per year.

Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator.

Elementary Curriculum ~ 1st - 5th Grades
Monthly Themes (10:30AM)

'Kids Zone' is designed to present Christ in an exciting and meaningful way, building around a weekly or monthly theme. The Kidz Zone curriculum, created by Jericho Junction includes a variety of learning elements such as crafts, games, story telling, adult and student-led dramas, puppets and music.

One way to help your child is to review their weekly Bible verse and the books of the Bible they are currently learning. Your child will bring a worksheet and Bible verse home each week.  When you can, help put into practice what they have learned as a whole family. 1st-5th graders can earn Kreek Kids Bucks to spend on the Second Sunday of each month.  Ask Trina for details!  

Kreek Kids Mission: 
We exist to supplement families in their attempt to build a spiritual foundation that, in God's timing, 
will lead a child into a relationship with God through Jesus Chris

The Inside Track was designed especially with our Kreek Kids volunteers in mind but there is a lot of great links for families too! 

Happy surfing the Inside Track! Twila and Jen
