Give a Party - from your family to another!
|
|
|
|
Give a
"Happy Birthday Jesus" party to a family in our community!
|
|
First Alliance is once again organizing Christmas gifts donated from a local community (Maple Leaf Estates) and giving them to families in need in our community. Would you help us tell these families about what Christmas really means? We are asking our Safari Kid families to provide a
"Party in a bag"
for these families to take home with them. How? During the month of
November
, you would bring us a bag with certain items (see our
Parent Portal
) so that these families can go home and have a Happy Birthday Jesus party! Safari Kids will donate a book to each bag that is brought in by one of our families. Be sure to look for details on the
Parent Portal
- we need the bags by the end of November, as gifts are handed out on December 14th!

A Change in Safari Kids Leadership
|
|
Ms. Kelli is stepping down...
|
|
If you missed the announcement in worship service on October 27th, you may not be aware of this upcoming change! After working for 11 years at First Alliance (and almost 5 years as co-leader with Ms. Tracy), Ms. Kelli is following God's lead back into the business world. It's no coincidence that our memory verse for October was Proverbs 3:5,6
"Trust in the Lord with all you heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."
Ms. Kelli has been praying and listening to God's promptings, and has submitted her plans to Him. Pray for this transition for Ms. Kelli, and for Safari Kids! Until the end of 2019, Jami Bruno will be filling is as a part-time assistant. During this time, we plan to evaluate our children's ministry program & its needs, and then officially develop and list the position that will be open. Please go

to watch the announcement video.
