JOB TITLE:
Disciples for Christ

JOB DESCRIPTION:
Tell the dying world how to live through Jesus Christ

NUMBER OF AVAILABLE POSITIONS:
Unlimited; everyone is welcome–preachers, teachers, singers, musicians, missionaries, custodians, food servers, and numerous others that we just can’t list them all here

Some folks ride the train of life,
Looking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by,
And marking every year.

They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And think the best is what once was,
And hang their heads and cry.

Have you ever done face-painting as part of an outreach to children?

Here’s a recipe we used for face-paint:

• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon water
• 1-1/2 teaspoons cold cream.
• A few drops of food color

It was a warm summer day. Two elders decided to invite one of the deacons to their weekly fishing trip. The deacon was excited and decided to go. When they were all in the boat and the boat was well out in the middle of the lake one elder said, “Oh no, I forgot my fishing rod. Wait here while I go get it.” The elder walked out across the lake all the way back to his car and walked back across the water to his boat.

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, and looked at the old pages as he turned them.

Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible, and he picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that had been pressed in between the pages.

Introduction
Announce that today we are going today we are going to have some grasshopper Olympics.

I’ve wondered, at times, what kind of man this Judas was. What he looked like, how he acted, who his friends
were…

But for all the things we don’t know about Judas, there is one thing we know for sure: he had no relationship with
the Master. He had seen Jesus, but he did not know Him. He had heard Jesus, but he did not understand Him. He
had religion, but no relationship.

Mark 2:5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 

He carried His cross despising the shame
To the place of the skull, Golgatha by name
And there with two thieves, His friends’ hopes all lost,
Was man’s greatest error now hung on a cross
