Children's Ministry January Newsletter

January 2019

Message from Ms. Hillary

Happy New Year! What fun we have planned for the upcoming year. We continue to meet each Sunday during the 10 am worship service, and at 5:30 pm Wednesday. I hope you will take this new year to start fresh and join us as we study God’s Love and Grace.

Children’s Music Choirs will resume Sunday, January 13th from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm following lunch in the Fellowship Hall. We are set to sing and ring at the Ash Wednesday Service and Sunday, April 14th, Palm Sunday. If you haven’t joined us yet – this is a great time to begin!

Parents can enjoy adult classes during the 11:30 am hour on Sundays; Courageous Conversations, Financial Peace and much, much more. Follow the adult formation options offered on our website: www.pinnaclepres.org/adult-formation/.

Children Worship Assistants have been so successful! Students are able to serve in worship the 2nd Sunday of each month as a Greeter, Acolyte, Call to Worship, or Scripture Reader. Please consider serving (monthly if they’d like), click here to sign up.

Congratulations to the Hoehner Family and Riolo Family for receiving their Dairy Queen Gift Cards for their feedback on our monthly newsletter. If you’d like to win a sweet treat – email your thoughts/suggestions to Ms. Hillary today!

Love and Peace.

Favorite Children's Message From Last Month

December 9, 2018

Today is the Second Sunday in Advent!

Last Sunday, we lit the first candle, the Candle of Hope. We talked about hope being that excited expectation of what we know will happen; we are bursting with hope for the mystery of Christmas. Pastor Kelsy had a gift that she asked how long we could wait to open it. She mentioned some people waited 600 YEARS for their gift of the Son of God.

Winter Snack Inspiration

Snowman Donuts

Turn ordinary powdered donuts into a fun, little snowman. All you need is a clear bag, a Sharpie, some ribbon and black construction paper!

Blessings to you this month - let's pray:

January brings us a fresh start. 2019 is our year to begin things we have put off, things we have forgotten, and things we feel we must start. Help us to carve time for our family and worship as the more we are in Your Word, the more fresh and ready we are for every day! Amen.
