So this was a great weekend at New Horizon Church. The band was super - Jamie gave us a great message while Dave was away, and we had ton's of new team members start serving in all our environments. Not to mention it was one of the most beautiful days weather wise since we've lived here in North Carolina.
The funny thing about this weekend is how I learned people can see the same thing but see it totally differently. On Saturday night we had a new family come to Uhambo and while they were entering into the environment the family was overcome and audibly said "this is like going to Disneyland" - the child was about 9 years old and had a great time. On Sunday night I had a father come up to me and share that he's got 5 kids in each of our environments. After their first time coming he asked the kids on a scale of 1 to 10 how was it? Two of his kids said a 10, and the other three said a 12! He thanked me for his kids enjoying it so much. Now here's our third story.....on the same weekend we had someone share that they thought the kids inUhambo were having "too much fun", and they were serious.
My take away is that when grown-ups start thinking we're having too much fun - then we're being successful! Uhambo isn't an environment for adults - it's an environment for kids. We want them to want to be there - and we had hundreds of kids wanting to come this weekend - and it was great! They got to have fun learning from the Bible, making friends, and learning how much they mean to Jesus.
Our motto at Uhambo is BIGGER - LOUDER - MESSIER and we intend to live up to it! So bring your kids and your friends kids this weekend because it looks like I can Guarantee they will have FUN!
