FOUNTAIN KIDS PHONE A FRIEND AND WEEKLY MAILINGS
Our Phone a Friend event is continuing this week because it was so much fun talking to those we were we were able to reach last week. We had some blessed and happy catch up conversations.
Our weekly mailings and Miss Donna and Miss Jenny's awesome videos will continue. In addition, check out our supplemental materials posted each Sunday morning on our Fountain Kids Facebook page.
2020 UN-PARENT MEETING - A NOTE FROM MISS DONNA
Every August, Daniel Doubleday, Jenny Cook and I meet with parents and share our visions for the upcoming year in our ministries. This is always a special time that we intentionally schedule to communicate our visions, intentions and aspirations for our students. As we all know, that will not be happening this month. We will miss this opportunity and the weekly interaction with the kiddos and families. We normally look at timelines and calendars, and then coordinate as a team for the year. In this chaos, I have found an opportunity to rethink, revise, and redefine how we deliver ministry and how we engage our children and parents in Christ and for Christ.
Two scriptures come to mind:
Joshua 1:9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.
Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him.
