Children's Ministry February Newsletter

February 2019

Message from Ms. Hillary

The month of Love – February is one of my most favorites! I hope each of you feel the love and support Pinnacle Presbyterian offers. Young people are valued and honored and we want to get to know you. We hope to see each of you very soon! Our focus this month will be the gift of service. We learn from Jesus the act of service comes in many varieties. We will review washing of the feet, feeding 5,000 and much more.

We have some exciting announcements:

We welcome Dr. Ilona Adler as the Associate Director of Ministries in Music and Arts/Organist. Dr. Adler will, among many other tasks, direct our Children’s Chime & Bell Choirs. Please introduce yourself and make her feel welcome at Pinnacle!
We also welcome Helena McGinn and Shirley Riolo to our Church School leadership team. Ms. Helena will be with the preschool students and Ms. Shirley with the Kinder - 2nd grade each week. We love having the consistent teachers and still welcome our parent volunteers to serve as they are able.
Family Focus Sunday begins February 10th! Students are able to serve in worship the 2nd Sunday of each month as a greeter, acolyte, giving the Call to Worship, or reading. Please consider serving (monthly if they’d like), click here to sign up. Musical offerings will be enjoyed the 2nd Sunday of each month and students will stay in worship. This is a great time to invite friends/family to worship with you!

Let Ms. Hillary know of your Valentine’s Day plans and she’ll have a special prize for you!

Love and Peace.

Favorite Children's Message From Last Month

January 13, 2019

Stewardship Bank Distribution Sunday

I don’t think there’s a person alive who doesn’t like french fries. When they’re hot and fresh and crisp and golden like these, they’re pretty hard for anyone to resist. How many of you get french fries any time you go out to eat?

Now let me ask you this: Have any of you ever had to pay the french fry tax? The french fry tax is not a government tax. It’s a Mom and Dad tax.

Amen.
