Greetings from Mr. Funk
Mr. Funk - Lord's Prayer

Koala Challenge 1
Koala Challenge 2
The news none of us wanted to hear...
Do to the President's newest order to continue our social distancing through April, we have to cancel our 2020 56ers retreat. This is a huge bummer for our ministry and we understand the disappointment. This whole social distancing situation has forced a lot of us to sacrifice things and I know this is a sacrifice for a lot you. The good news is that you have many more retreats to look forward to down the road!
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

During 56ers, we have been talking about the ministry of Jesus during large group and small group. Are you willing to open up your Bible and read another way Jesus ministered to the people he came into contact with? If you are brave enough, CLICK HERE and record yourself. Share the story of Jesus that you chose and why it matters. The small group with the most posts wins a prize (leaders included!). Feel free to look at other kids' or leaders' videos to get an idea of what you are doing. When you are ready to record, scroll down and click on the giant + sign. You will need to sign in with a google account. If you do not have one, maybe your parents will allow you to use their phone or other device!
