We invite all children in 1st to 5th grade to a fun Kids Praise and Worship Service on Sunday, February 8 at 9:45 in the Tree House. Bring a can of soup with you! It is Super Bowl Sunday and we will be collecting cans of soup for the Mandarin Food Bank. Come find out why it’s cool to be on “God’s Team.” We will also have a wonderful opportunity to have communion together. Please contact the Children’s Ministry office if you have any questions.
Ash Wednesday
KIDS G.I.G. will have special activities on Wednesday evening, February 6. Sign-in will begin at 6:15 p.m. All preschoolers will have hands on activities tailored just for them in the preschool classrooms. Elementary (kindergarten – 5th grade) will meet in the Tree House where they will have fun activities from 6:15 to 7:00 p.m. Then we will have our very own Ash Wednesday service at 7:00 to 7:45 p.m. We look forward to seeing all of our children during this special time.
Adults . . . Check Out VBS!
It’s time to “Power Up” the excitement for Vacation Bible School. Make sure to come by the KIDS G.I.G. Tree House anytime on Sunday morning, February 24, in order to get a sneak preview of the hottest VBS yet! You will also want to guess how many fire balls (candies) are in the large jar. The winner will be announced at our “Power Lab party” on Sunday, March 30th at 4:30 p.m. We need all youth and adults who can help with support “behind the scenes” and help during the week of June 16 – 20 for Vacation Bible School. VBS is a huge success because of wonderful volunteers. Come check it out and see how YOU can get involved with this exciting outreach opportunity!
Did you know…
Ninety percent of what we learn, we learn as children. Wouldn’t it be fun to see God through the eyes of a child? There are no qualifications necessary except for having a heart to love God and a desire to work with children. We will equip you with all of the resources and materials that you will need. Take a leap, become a part of the KIDS G.I.G. team, and please consider sharing God’s love by helping in the following ways:
- Co-teachers for 11 a.m. Sunday KIDS G.I.G.
- Junior Leaders (4th to 8th graders) for l1:00 a.m. Sunday KIDS G.I.G.
- Co-leaders for a Sunday small group during the summer
- Volunteers for Ash Wednesday children’s activities
Interested? Call the Children’s Ministry office and ask how you can make a difference in a child’s life.
Methodist Summer Camp
Get ready all rising 4th graders and older for the Leesburg Methodist Summer Camp on July 21 to 26th. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to experience an entire week of Christian unity among friends. Register your child online at umsummercamp.org. Please contact the children’s ministry office if you have any questions.
Summer Small Groups
Our Sunday small group teachers will be taking a much deserved break for the summer (June 1 to August 17) . We are looking for adults who love God and can share that love with our children during the summer. We encourage you to come by the table outside the sanctuary on Sunday mornings this month. We will be available between worship services so that you can ask questions, check out the fun, easy to use curriculum, and sign up to help out for a Sunday morning from 9:45 to 10:45 a.m. in the summer. Prayerfully consider how you can make a HUGE impact by donating a small amount of your time this summer. You never know, YOU may even be touched by God through a child.
Has your elementary child received their very own Lenten Devotional Book and Gift? It will be given out on Ash Wednesday and February 10th. Call the children's ministry office at 268-5549 X120 if you have any questions.
