Take the Plunge!

Last night we hit our neighborhood pool with our kids and had a blast. For the first time, my 19-month old daughter got into jumping to dad from the edge of the pool. It was cool to see the trust in her eyes as she reached her little arms out to me and fearlessly took the plunge - over and over again. She knew she could trust her dad to catch her every time.

As much as it warms my heart to see her faith in me, my ultimate dream is to see both of my girls learn to trust their heavenly Father with their entire lives. I am praying for the day that each of them "takes the plunge" and says, "God, here I am. I am all yours."

If you have the same dream for your kids, I want to invite you to next month's Kid Splash event, on Tuesday, August 17th, 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. in Building C. Kid Splash is a special experience for kids and parents to come together and hear the story of God's love for them. At Kid Splash we will help families learn what it means to become a follower of Jesus Christ and talk about how baptism fits into this plan.

Whether your child is just starting to ask questions about salvation or if they're ready to make this incredible decision to follow Jesus, Kid Splash is designed to equip your family with the information you need to help your kids take a next step at the appropriate time.

If you're interested in attending Kid Splash you can register with Wende Malone at wmalone@southlandchristian.org or by calling 224-1674.
