Children's Ministry

Kids Summer Series Recap By: Cory Browning, Children's Ministry Coordinator This summer we decided to do something different for our kids: an interactive Summer Series that allowed them to experience Sunday School lessons in an entirely new way and the results were amazing! These 3 special Sundays built upon each other creating one cohesive lesson for the children to apply to their own lives. They built Lego candy creations with each color representing God's creation: yellow for light, blue for sky and water, green for nature, red for humans and also representing Jesus' death and resurrection on the cross. One precious girl gave her heart to the Lord and was baptized a week later!! Then the much-anticipated PJs and Pop-Tarts Sunday...what's better than PJs, Pop-Tarts, pillow sack races and pillow fights! They learned how God sees, knows, and loves us whether we're in our PJs or our Sunday best. And finally, they dressed up as their favorite Superhero and got a surprise visit from Supergirl and Spiderman. The kids discovered how we can share God's love with others by being a Superhero for God in practical ways such as smiling at someone or helping around the house. There was a buzz of excitement this summer as each Sunday, the kids would come in looking to see when the next special one would be. Our kids were expectant to see what these Sundays held for them, just as we should all be expectant everyday as we seek after God with all our hearts! So please continue to pray for our children and all that God is doing in them. And if you want to become more involved in this ministry, please feel free to reach out. My heart is full when I think about God's great faithfulness! Be blessed 😊 Key Scriptures: Genesis 1:1-27, John 3:16, Psalm 139:1-4 & 13-14, John 15:13, Matthew 7:12
