JANUARY NEWSLETTER
To think that we are already into January just blows my mind. At this time each year we find ourselves looking ahead and thinking about what we want to change, or do better...Here is what I would encourage you to do during this month of January. Using our monthly verse (Psalm 139:14) I want you to really take time to explore with your child. What brings them joy, what makes them really unique and special, What do you love most about them:
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
In this wintery month, remember that each of us, including our children are like snowflakes - no two flakes are exactly alike, but we all work together to form the family of God.
Katie Rykal, Director of Children and Family Ministry

POPpers Sledding and Movie Day

All POPpers (4th-6th grade) are invited to join us for our January Event: An afternoon of sledding and movie watching. We will meet here at Church at 1 PM to head over to Central Park here in Brooklyn Park. After we are done sledding we will come back to Church for an afternoon of popcorn, hot cocoa, and a movie (if time permits). The cost is $5/person to cover the snacks. Feel free to bring your own sled as Church only has a couple. Please RSVP by Thursday, January 19th so that we can arrange drivers to and from the park and to make sure that we have enough snacks!
