Welcome to the Nursery is a class offered to new or expectant parents who are interested in finding out more about our nursery program. This class is designed to introduce parents to the nursery coordinators, tour the classrooms, learn parental and classroom expectations, as well as show you ways you can pray biblical characteristics over your child. The next class is October 9th.
Kids First Step is a class designed for kids in 3rd through 5th grade who are ready to be baptized and/or desire church membership. It's a two week class that teaches them about salvation, baptism, bible study and communion. A parent or guardian is required to attend with their child. The next class is October 16th.
Live Out Loud is a kids discipleship class. It's a four week class that is designed as a follow-up to our Kids First Step class. It's for children in 3rd through 5th grade who have completed Kids First Step and have been baptized. This class helps teach kids the next steps they should take in their Christian walk and how to live out their faith. The next class begins on October 30th.
Child Dedication is offered twice a year. This is an opportunity for parents to dedicate their children to the Lord and to establish a covenant between themselves and the church body to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Those parents who wish to dedicate their children are invited to a luncheon on the 13th where our children's pastor will discuss more about the covenant and the purpose of the dedication. The next dedication will be held November 19 - 20. Applications are available now.
For more information and to sign up for any of these classes, visit the INFOdesk in our lobby.
It's Elementary!
Train a child in the way he should go. When he is old, he will not turn away from it.
Proverbs 22:6 (NIrV)
Growing a child is a full time job. We have 20 different roles as parents and the list is never ending. As a church we want to help with your most important job, discipling your child. We only see your child one day a week, but we want to give you opportunities to sit down with your child every week and read God’s word. To help with this Kids Live, Elementary Ministry, will be posting a video review of what we covered on Sunday every week. This will give you a starting point to go back and read the scripture and then talk about it with your child. As we get this process down we will also post challenges for families and different things to help you grow your child.
Here’s the first installment about Joseph from Genesis 37-45. (As you read Chapter 39 about Potiphar’s wife, you’ll need to filter the information to make it appropriate for your child’s age).Take time this week to read through the scriptures and talk about it with your child. Keep our power point we learned in mind as you read, God can use hard times to help me grow.
