Connecting Church and Home
​​​​Children's Church is held during the Worship time every week while adults are enjoying the sermon.
Children are invited to leave the sanctuary with an adult during the sermon to enjoy a Bible story, a craft, a prayer, and a short video. Children from ages 3 to 4th grade are welcome. An older student may want to attend as a helper.
The kids return before communion so they can be blessed by the pastor.
Please consider volunteering and providing an extra set of hands during this time. This is a good way for teens to accumulate community service hours.

Contact Cyndie, Madonna or Amanda for more information.

WOW! A "Kids Corner" Devotional
for children!
Your child could be receiving a devotional from Kids Corner if they aren't already!
Each week your child receives a devotional regarding subjects such as creating beauty, reflecting God, and serving others. It also contains a Bible story, a parents’ blog, a DYI project, and a demonstration of kids in action serving around the world.
Here is the link: Kids Devotions | Kids Corner. I can sign you up as well. This is another baby step in leading your child toward spiritual growth at an early age, so it becomes art of their daily life.

FEBRUARY- MARCH EDUCATION NEWS
The season of Lent is upon us. Time to reflect upon our savior’s suffering and sacrifice for us. To aid in this reflection, there are Lenten devotions available on the table at the front door. There are booklets for all ages. Help yourself. Materials for the children will be sent home with them during Children’s Church.
March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day. Did you know that St. Patrick used the 3-leaf clover to explain the Holy Trinity, the three-in-one. It is a great visual to explain the sometimes hard to grasp concept to children.
The children are studying the New Testament stories that follow the lectionary. It is great to see the friendships that are growing as well as their faith!
