Week 14: Rodeo Sunday!

It's Rodeo Sunday!
The Houston Rodeo kicked off at Reliant Stadium this weekend, and that meant it was 'Rodeo Sunday' at River Pointe Church! It's one of the wildest experiences you could have at church. River Pointe transformed into a petting zoo, a country music concert, and a chili cook off. They had expert calf ropers, horse riders, zoo keepers, banjo pickers, and fiddle players. All of the kindergartners grabbed their hats and boots, and were ready for some fun! We played rodeo games, visited the petting zoo, guessed rodeo trivia, and sang lots of songs. These kids were fearless when it came to the petting zoo. They were chasing those animals, picking them up, and pulling their tails! I loved watching all of my girls giggle and skip in their western attire! This was also the final week of our 'Kindness' series. We finished off our small group discussions with second chances. Our God is known for giving second chances. Everyone deserves a second chance, and we should all be willing to offer second chances to other people. To forgive the people around us is an act of showing kindness and demonstrating true strength. God forgave us, so in turn we should forgive others and more importantly forgive ourselves. It was a very successful Rodeo Sunday and I can't wait to see what's to come in Week 14!
