May/June Newsletter
CSI Summer Event Coming Soon! One of the best things about CSI is the relationships that are built among children and their small group leaders - Godly people pouring into the lives of children.
Why does an item float on the water? How do bees know where flowers are? Why are a mammal’s feet different? Creative Science Investigators is an exciting time for kids to discover that God is the star of creation as we investigate the answers to these questions! During CSI we discover the wonder of God’s creation through special speakers, cool crafts, crazy games and wacky labs. Each day presents a specific segment of God’s creation and uses Scripture to reinforce God as the Creator. We believe that as Christians we should not be afraid of science. The goal of CSI is to demonstrate that science actually points to a God of order who created our universe. We want to take that premise and use it to introduce children to their heavenly Father. Romans 1:20 – “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.”
We encourage children to investigate by way of asking questions, because we believe that God is big enough to answer our questions. That is why we utilize hands-on labs as part of the CSI discovery process, so kids can discover answers for themselves about the mysteries of God’s creation. Through CSI, seeds of God’s truth are planted for the future when children may encounter an alternative view explaining the world they live in. We pray that when that time comes, memories of CSI will prompt a thorough investigation that will lead to the discovery of the truth of God’s power and the warmth of His love.
Because of this philosophy and the fun setting we work toward, this is our largest outreach to children, and keeps getting bigger each year! It’s a lot of work and it takes a lot of people to help pull it off, but the result of introducing kids to their Creator and heavenly Father makes all of the work worth it. Don’t wait to register your kids (or yourself as a volunteer). All registration received before May 31 will be entered in a drawing for free John Ball Zoo tickets.
