 February 4, 2019
 

     We're having a blast in the Children's Ministry!  Yesterday I learned that WV kids sing "Go tell it on the mountainS"; witnessed my own child's excitement to welcome a friend from school to church and encourage her to come to class; and was blessed by one of my former student's wonderful gift of song during the offertory. Yesterday was a great example of ministry at work in the lives of our children.
     We have a lot happening around the church. There is a new Children's Church curriculum, we have monthly themes that engage children and help them explore God's Word. February is "Unbelievable;" children will learn about many of Jesus' miracles that may seem as fantastic as a unicorn, but are better because they are true! If you haven't been getting my children's updates, send an email to jayne@forrestburdette.com.
     This coming Saturday, February 9th, at 9:00 a.m., we are having a Children's Ministry work day to help fix up Byrd Hall and get our supplies out of the basement. Bring your cleaning rags or a paint brush for a morning of beautification and organization!
     During Wednesday evenings we are Digging In to God's word! Our Spring Project is preparing for a Children's Sunday. The kids are excited to "be in charge of the church"!  This is a great opportunity for them to get involved in worship and understand they are an important part of the body of Christ. We want kids to be involved in as many parts of the service as possible, so come join us.  There's a job for everyone!
     Save the date! VBS is June 23-28! The fun will begin before you know it!
     If you have any questions about current or upcoming programs and events please contact me!

Souper Bowl Sunday
The Los Angeles Rams won with the most soup cans by their sign in our Sanctuary, but they didn't win with the most points on the field last night!  Regardless, thank you to those who brought soup in for the Community Cupboard.  We collected 361 cans.
