Warren Willis Summer Camp Info
August 17 was an hour of reflection and awareness of the adventure our campers from rising 4th to 12th grade experienced at Warren W. Willis Summer Camp. If you were unable to come to the meeting, we have a copy of the pictures taken during our stay at Warren Willis Summer Camp. You can also visit their website at http://www.umsummercamp.org/. Next year’s registration will start in February. In January start looking for the dates our church will be attending. Call Angie or Anne.What if?
Our theme is “What if?” What if you gave one hour a month as a servant of God by rocking a baby in the infant room? What if you taught a small group lesson to a two or three year old? What if you are afraid to take that step? We would love to talk to you. Call Anne, Angie or Carol.
Back to School
Our children are back in their routine of Sunday School and Academic School. We have helped to equip them with backpacks and Bibles (2nd grade and up). We would love your help in reminding each of them to bring their backpacks and Bibles every Sunday.
Promotion Sunday
Promotion Sunday was a special day for us as a church. We were able to fellowship together. We are beginning an exciting new curriculum in which all children ages 2 – 5th grade will learn how to weave faith into their daily lives. The Genesis Sunday School Class is also using the same curriculum. The parents in that class will be studying the same Scriptures. Parents will have the opportunity to share and confirm the Word with their children (family small group).
Pot Luck Lunch
Children’s Ministry (nursery through 5th grade) Pot Luck Lunch was rescheduled due to Hurricane Fay. The new date is September 7 at 12:30 p.m.
Children’s Small Group Pictures
September 7th will be the day your child(ren)’s small group picture will be taken. Dress in your Sunday best.
KIDS G.I.G. at 11:00 a.m.
All children 3 years old as of September 1, 2008 to 2nd grade will have their very own Kids Worship in the KIDS GIG tree house. Please make sure your child is given a wristband upon check-in at 9:45 a.m. and we will transfer them to the 11:00 a.m. program. We encourage all of our 3rd- 5th graders to attend traditional or Collision worship service with their parents. We will still be utilizing our Junior Leaders as helpers. Sign up for one Sunday a month through Anne and Angie.
Acolyte Training
Our Acolytes have just completed their training and have made a commitment to serve God and our church. This is scary for some of our new Acolytes. If you see an Acolyte, thank them or tell them what great job they have done. Our church is nurturing our future servants of Christ. Stacy Fiedler is the Acolyte Coordinator. If your child is in the 4th or 5th grade and would like to be an Acolyte, Stacy would love to hear from you. Jfiedler904@msn.com. We will be training the 3rd graders mid year so they can start serving as an Acolyte at that point.
Bible Presentation
Children in 2nd grade will be receiving a Bible on September 21 at 9:45 am. If your child is in the 2nd grade, please call the main office to reserve a Bible and let us know if you plan on attending the service.
