There ain’t no party like a “Pixel Party!”  Hold up, wait a minute—you’ve never heard of a “Pixel Party?”  Let’s fix that!  A single pixel by itself is nothing too special, it’s just a small square.  But when you put a bunch of those pixels together, they combine to form a picture.  During the “Pixel Party,” kids will use colored sticky notes to form pictures that help tell the Big Bible Story.  Moreover, as kids hear stories from the Gospels about life-changing encounters with Jesus, they’ll get a picture of the incredible love that Jesus has for us.

“Your face will freeze like that!” It’s a phrase that’s been uttered by more than a few moms. Fortunately, for most of us, it didn’t prove true—until now! During “Freeze Frame,” kids will place the patented Freeze Frame Box on their head (no patents actually pending). When the curtain is lifted and their face is revealed, it will be frozen in one of many different ways. Whether it’s furious or freaked-out, their frozen face will say it all as we look at the miracles of Jesus and discover what it’s like to have the power of Jesus in our life.

Shhh…listen carefully. Do you hear that voice coming from inside of you? Does it have a slightly French accent? If so, it’s probably your inner artist. God has put one in all of us and it’s screaming to get out!  That is—until now! During “Artrageous,” kids will have a chance to unleash the artist inside of them by using all kinds of art to tell the Easter story and to picture the outrageous love that Jesus has for us.

Look up in the sky. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…just a kid posing as Superman! When kids strike a pose, they can become just about anything—a superhero, a prehistoric monster, even a slice of pizza. They can also become characters in the Big Bible Story. During “Strike a Pose,” kids will be pushed, pulled, and shaped into different poses to help tell the stories of how the early church was started and exploded into the world. More than that, kids will learn how they can help build God’s church today.
