Hi Parents!
We are in the midst of summer and what a busy one we have had so far! Kidapalooza was a huge success! We reached out to more than 550 children in our church and community and we were blessed with 150 volunteers. It was a fantastic week of fun, faith and friends. If you would like to see pictures of the event, T.J. Towers, of Majestic Memories, took hundreds of pictures during the entire week. You can check them out on Facebook at Majestic Memories Photography.
Sunday volunteers needed! We have several volunteer positions available in our children's ministry department. No experience necessary...just a desire to love on the children and their families. Does this sound like something you could do? Have some questions? Contact us and we'll share how you can serve!
IT'S ELEMENTARY!
There will be no Praise Team practice during the summer. If your child would like to be a part of our praise team on Sunday mornings, you can call for a copy of the Praise Team practice DVD and CD. They contain all of our songs and the moves that go with them. We will start practice up again in the fall, once school begins. Practices at that time will be every Thursday in the Family Chapel from 6:00-6:30pm. Come join the fun!
Has your child accepted Jesus into their heart? Do they have questions? Do they know what to do next? Do they want to be baptized? As a parent, you can help them understand how to grow in Christ and follow His example. We want to partner with you in helping your child know how to do just that. Our Kids First Step class will help your child understand salvation and help you both decide if they are ready for baptism and/or church membership. This is a 2 week class for kids in 3rd through 5th grade and held during the 2nd service. A parent or guardian must attend with them. These classes are offered several times a year. The next class is August 21st and 28th. The church bulletin will announce when and where you can sign up. For more detailed information, please contact us.
NURSERY
Here's a tip to helping your child transistion. If your child is having difficulty with separation anxiety, (or perhaps even you are!), consider volunteering in your child's classroom. Your child gets to experience the comfort of having you in new surroundings while they adjust and lets them know everything is going to be ok. This will not only help your child but gives you an opportunity to be obedient to Christ's calling as you serve!
