Hello Families! Happy New Year!

We have so much in store for you each week in Kids Ministry! Every month, I'll be sending out a newsletter letting you know what we will be covering each week in Sunday Programming and our upcoming events.

Be sure to come and see us at both our 9:15 am and 11:00 am worship times! We'll sing, dance, play games, and learn all about the love of Jesus!

Our nursery is available for children aged 3 months to 3 years and Sunday School programming is ready for kids aged 3 - 4 years (located on our lower level). All kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade can join us in the Rooftop each Sunday morning!

Can't wait to see you!
Many Blessings,
Traci Lowry
Director of Kids Ministry at HMUMC
January's Focus on Sunday Mornings

For the month of January, our Sunday Morning focus has been on Contentment. Everything we have comes from God. We can complain or become jealous of what others have…or we can choose to respond with contentment, knowing that God has a plan for our lives.

We will learn about contentment by studying the following:
  • Paul’s imprisonment – Philippians 4:11-13
  • The theme for the week: God can help you be content.
  • King Ahab and Naboth’s Vineyard - 1 Kings 21:1-19,27
  • The theme for the week: Wanting more and more can make you miserable.
  • Israelites long for Egypt – Exodus 16:2-21; 17:1-7
  • The theme for the week: Don’t miss out on what you have now.
  • Giving freely to the Lord’s people – 1 Corinthians 8:1-5
  • The theme for the week: You can always use what you have to help someone else.

We pray these lessons and scripture references will bless you with meaningful conversations with your family about being content with what God has generously provided.
Wednesday Night Kids Start Back January 26th!

Whether you are participating in a Bible Study for or serving in Kids’/Student ministry areas HMUMC is the place to be on Wednesdays from 6:30-7:45 pm. Wednesday Nights return to HMUMC this Wednesday, January 26th!

Our nursery will be available from 6:30 - 7:45 for children aged 3 months through Pre-K so parents can take advantage of the various activities at the church.

From 6:30 - 7:15 kids can choose to participate in our awesome Kids' Choir or traditional Kids Ministry and then all kids in Kindergarten through 5th grade will gather in the Rooftop at 7:15 - 7:45 for a Bible message.

You can also pick up your child after choir at 7:15 as well.

Our Kids Choir is designed for kids aged 3 (as of September 1, 2021) through 5th grade. This is a great place for kids to learn to sing in a traditional choir setting and have some fun along the way. We occasionally sing during Sunday morning worship and other special events throughout the year. For more information please contact Rev. Mark G. Locke, at 770-271-8855 ext. 109 or via email mark.locke@hmumc.org
 
Kids Ministry is designed for kids aged Kindergarten through 5th grade and will offer a blend of music, games, and we go deeper into some of our favorite stories from the Bible. For more information about any of these programs and to get involved, please contact me at 770-271-8855 ext. 304 or via email at traci.lowry@hmumc.org.

We look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday Nights on January 26th!

Pandemic Parenting Seminar
Wednesday, February 2nd at 6:30 pm

Join us for a special one-night event as a panel of counselors and other experts help get parents, caregivers, and others through this new era of parenting. They can answer the tough questions and give expert advice on how best to stay ahead in this tough parenting world.

Then on February 9th, our small groups for parents will be available. This is a great way to connect and share with other parents and learn from our volunteer leaders. You can connect with other parents in similar age groups to learn from and grow with one another.

We sure hope you will join us for this very special opportunity to learn from others - know you're not alone!

Registration is strongly encouraged so we have enough space and more importantly, we can get your questions to our panelists prior to the event on the 2nd.
