I recently picked up a book about forgotten stories of World War II's most dramatic missions called "Ghost soldiers" by Hampton Sides. Wow! The price that our soldiers paid and still are paying is overwhelming. In just the first chapter, the true stories of missions told really messed me up. One story really made me think: A group of American POW's were captured and waiting to see what the Japanese army would do next. What the American POW's did not know was that the American troops had intercepted a directive to the commandments of various POW camps, outlining a policy for what it called the "final disposition" of prisoners... otherwise known as the "August 1 kill-all order".

Do you believe in aliens? Surveys show that more and more folks are open to the idea that we are not alone in this universe... that lurking out there - or maybe even here - are beings that are definitely different in nature and not at home on this planet.

Like Yo Gabba Gabba, have you seen these guys? My 2-year-old daughter, Audrey, is obsessed with these guys! If Muno, Brobee, Foofa, Toodee, Plex, and Dj Lance rock are not aliens... who is? The songs that they sing ALWAYS get stuck in my head and they are there all day! I hope they are not putting hidden messages in my brain!

Week 4 of our "Journey Below The Earth" series is in the books! We are half way there. In the first 4 weeks we have learned new songs, played games, had small group activities, memorized scripture, and even had Deuce Montana here live in our Ignition service! We are still having our "family devotional" contest going on. Each week your child will bring home a family devotional sheet to complete as a family and returned signed by a parent/guardian to have their name entered into a drawing for the end of our series. It is not too late to complete weeks 1-3. Stop by the Ignition visitor check-in table located by the break room to pick them up.

I am excited to announce that beginning Sunday, March 21^st, Ignition Kids ministries will kick off our 8 Week series called "Journey Below The Earth". Each week our kids will be challenged to memorize Bible verses, sing new songs, play exciting games, and we may even have a few new characters introduced! "Journey Below The Earth" is designed to teach our kids how to build a solid foundation in Jesus. Parents, we need your help!
