January 2022 News

Greetings!

December was full of activity for our kids and families at Canopy Roads. We enjoyed cookies, popcorn and hot cocoa at Movies in the Park, had a birthday party for Jesus, and celebrated Jesus' birth together at our Candlelight Services on Christmas Eve. I hope you all enjoyed this special Christmas season with those you love. Jesus truly is the greatest gift we could ever receive!

As we ring in a new year, I know for me it's always a big time of reflection of the past year and stirs up anticipation and excitement for what the new year holds. Our CRBC Kids Ministries look forward to what God will do in 2022. Even more so, we are excited about the opportunities God will give us to live S.E.N.T and encourage each other as we grow to become fully devoted followers of Christ.

Goodbye 2021...and hello 2022! Happy New Year!

All for the children,

Jenna Morris
Children's Ministry Director

"Let the little children come..." Matthew 19:14
Enjoy this special time of year with those you love, and may you and your family have a blessed New Year. The gift of a new year is one of God’s many blessings. Count your blessings as you count down to the new year, and thank God for each one!

"You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance."
Psalm 65:11
Hey Parents - try this at home!
As you and your family ring in the new year, consider these ideas for getting your year off to a great start:

  • Talk to your kids about choosing one goal that is important for them in the coming year. As you talk, remember to keep your goals simple and specific. Then, as a family, make a large poster together. Write the new year in large numbers and then list one goal for each person, such as, “I will make one new friend this year at school." Decorate the poster and hang it in your home as a reminder and encouragement to stick to your goals.

  • This year start a Memory Jar — an empty canning jar with slips of paper to write down events (both happy and hard) throughout the year. For example, a report card with excellent grades, a part in the school play, a big move, a new baby being born, etc. The following New Year’s Eve, open the jar and take turns pulling out a slip and reading the memory on it. This will be a good reminder of the ways God has been with your family throughout the year.
Look at what we've been up to!
We had a fantastic time being super sleuth detectives at our Thank You Spy Party at Good News Club! Kids discovered clues in the Bible that reveal how they can be thankful in all circumstances!
We had a wonderful time at our Birthday Party for Jesus! We enjoyed magic tricks from Mr. Jerry, fun songs, special Christmas story lesson, musical chairs with a twist and of course birthday CAKE! Happy Birthday Jesus!
