Children's Ministry November Newsletter

November 2018

Message from Ms. Hillary

Hello Friends! November has arrived and it’s time to begin to prepare for our Christmas Programs. We have Children’s Bells, Chimes and Vocal Choirs that meet after worship on Sundays. Join us from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm as we begin to learn The Greatest Gift script and music. We will serve:

December 16 at 10am Worship
December 16 at 3:30pm at Silverstone
December 24 at 5pm Candlelight Service

If your student would like a speaking role, please email Ms. Hillary ASAP at hmackowski@pinnaclepres.org .

We focus our Bible Study in November on cooperation. We learn that God wants us to work together to help someone succeed, to help someone in need and to point others to Jesus. Our lessons take place Sundays during Church School at 10 am and Wednesdays at 5:30 pm. Please join us! We have a wonderful group of students and plenty of room for yours to fit in, feel welcomed and learn more about love, grace and peace…EVERY child needs that!

I continue to be grateful for the position Christ has placed me in. With your families, these amazing students, and the congregation that is so very accepting and excited to see more of the children in the Church. I hope to see you very soon!

Love and Peace.

Ms. Hillary

Blessings to you this month - let's pray:

November is a month of Thankfulness. Help us to remember the simplest gifts God has given us; each other, time of peace, and the glorious sound of laughter. We honor each other and pray for those that do not feel peaceful. Let God touch their hearts and show them the value of life, the value of hope and the value of love.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
