January News

Children’s Council.
Please plan to attend an important meeting on Saturday, January 12 at 5:00 p.m. We will meet to discuss upcoming children’s events. We welcome your input and new ideas. Please contact the Children’s Ministry office by Sunday, January 6, if you cannot attend. Childcare will be provided (if needed).

Junior Leaders.
Children’s Ministry is looking for dependable 4th to 8th graders who are willing to be a part of a team of mentors for our younger children during the 11:00 a.m. Sunday KIDS G.I.G. This will give your child the chance to demonstrate God’s love, develop leadership skills, and serve their church. Applications are available at the children’s information booth on Sunday mornings and the Children’s Ministry office. Please contact the Children’s Ministry office at 268-5549 ext. 20 if you have any questions.

Co-teachers Needed!
Our 11:00 a.m. Sunday KIDS G.I.G. is up and running in the Tree House. We are having a great time living out our Belief In God with our 3 year olds – 2nd graders. We are looking for adults who are willing to co-teach during this time. Please contact the Children’s Ministry office if you are interested and/or would like to find out more about the Live B.I.G. curriculum. This is an exciting and rewarding opportunity to work with our young children.

Acolyte Appreciation.
Our Kids Praise and Worship Service is Sunday, January 6, at 9:45 a.m. This is a time when our 1st through 5th graders come together in the Tree House in order to praise God through music, Bible scripture, and group activities. This month we will have a special recognition for our Acolytes. All acolytes are encouraged to attend so that they can receive a certificate and small gift for their service. We look forward to celebrating together with all of our elementary children.

Children Serving Children.
Children who attended the Birthday party for Jesus last month supported the I.M. Sulzbacher Center by bringing a gift of new undergarments and/or gently used jackets for children in need. The gifts were appreciated and we demonstrated that kids can make a difference! Way to go!
