Faith Factor… Fear is not a Factor for those who are in Christ Jesus… Philippians 4:6-7 says “Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

This was our theme for AWANA last night.  We had so much fun looking up the many verses that god has given us regarding fear and trusting God.  Of course, we also had to work in a little food challenge for those who chose to “face their fears”… our Sparks got to touch various things (hidden in a brown bag): marshmallows, cooked noodles, feathers etc… Our T&T group had the option of tasting things: tomato juice, tortilla chips in chocolate, beef and vegetable baby food, sardines, lemon juice, spinach (some of the really brave ones even chose to mix a few together).  Lots of laughing, anticipation and some gagging ensued as we learned that with Christ we can face our fears!
