Celebration KIDS candy machine supports kids in Africa

Celebration KIDS Elementary was recently blessed with a candy machine from an awesome volunteer. We put it in our KIDS store and have elementary kids monitor it.

For 25 cents, the machine spits out a kid-sized handful of candy, but even better, every cent goes to support kids in Xai Xai, Mozambique, Africa.

We are averaging about 20 dollars per week profit, which will go a long way in supporting our Xai Xai kids! If you have another creative way to raise money for kids in Xai Xai, email Pastor Shawn Bouldin, at sbouldin@celebrationchurchtx.com (twitter @shawnbouldin).

Kids Church decor idea: cover soundproof boards

Sound proofing your space is essential if you have a live band, bare floor or share a wall with another venue. Usually the sound proofing material is not "fun" looking.
We covered our fuzzy gray foam boards with some inexpensive fabric from Wal Mart. It doesn't affect the sound proofing ability and it really adds some zest to the space.
The project can be time consuming if you have a bunch of boards, and if they are positioned on a high wall, but well worth the "fun factor" investment.
Cost: $8-$12 for inexpensive fabric but varies depending on the size of board.

Celebration Kids End of School Party June 2010

End Of School Party 2010 at Celebration Kids in Georgetown, TX was a blast. Live worship, World's Largest Ninja Game, 25 First time salvations, 75 Round rock Express Tix given away, a huge slip n slide given away, tons of ice cream and candy eaten....what a blast. Our celebration kids really know how to have fun. 211 kids were in attendance on a rainy night. It started thunder-storming 10 minutes before service started, so we moved the party indoors. The AC felt great and we ended up making one of the biggest messes inside the KIDS auditorium to date. Our parties get wilder and wilder, and the kids have so much fun. They never get out of control, or unsafe, they just simply.....PARTY!
