This Sunday is Game Day!  This week in Hiz Neighborhood kids will take a look at Matthew 4:19 where Jesus called the first two disciples and said to them; “Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”.  The kids will be playing games that will again complement our fishing series {Deadliest Catch}.  All games will coincide with fish and the art of fishing.

Basic Truth: God loves me.
Key Question: Are you ever really alone?
Bottom Line: God is always with me.
