Hello Families!

Whew, what a busy time of year we are in…I like to call this month ‘MAY-hem’! Your Kids’ Ministry team isn’t slowing down either as we ramp up for Vacation Bible School which is going to be a MONUMENTAL experience! We are looking forward to celebrating the beginning of summer with you and celebrating God’s greatness at VBS! 
 
We have had a bunch of kids and leaders attending Kids’ Ministry on Sunday mornings at 9:15 and 11. These services will continue through the summer, and I’ve decided to keep track of attendance so kids may still earn their perfect attendance key fobs all summer long and fill out their collection. 
 
I can’t wait for summer and all the fun we have planned for our families at HMUMC!

Many Blessings,
Traci Lowry
Director of Kids Ministry at HMUMC
May's Focus on Sunday Mornings: COMPASSION

This month we are picking up where we left off before Easter diving deeper into the connection between COMPASSION and God’s character. 

Compassion is: Caring enough to do something about someone else’s need. Make sure to join us complete this unit that teaches us to care for and show others they matter, to use what we have and to make time to help others.

Focused Bible Scripture: Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, oh mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with God.

While we work through the virtue of compassion, we realize that we are always learning to do the things the Lord requires of us. He calls us to see the world as he sees it. He calls us to be fair to others and show mercy to those who have wronged us. When we walk humbly with God we aren’t proud or arrogant, but modest. Walking with God requires we never treat others as if they are worth less than ourselves. The honor we seek is never for our name, but for God’s name. 

Compassion is caring enough to do something about someone else’s need. We pray that kids will learn to see the needs of others and then act on them with compassion.
