Thank you, Anna! For those of you who haven’t met Mrs. Haagenson, she is our amazingly talented Children’s Choir Director and leads the Wednesday evening children’s program, K². She also leads worship on Sundays; both upstairs for the main services and downstairs with the children. Anna mentions a lot of fun things coming up in Children’s Ministry. Youth have a ton to look forward to, too, including the Night of Unending Games and the High School Ski Retreat!

Speaking of all those wonderful things…

We are excited to hear the sweet voices of the children’s choir practicing again and the kids at K² chanting, “Jeff! Jeff! Jeff!” as their worship leader and his guitar round the corner, ready to lead them in praise at the end of the evening. We have missed seeing the teenagers running around the gym on Sunday and Wednesday nights and it’s been weeks since random Nerf darts have found their way into strange and new places at the Youth Center. We’ve missed hearing the concerns from young people of all ages during prayer times; for friends, their families, their studies, their stresses. 

We have missed your kids over this winter break.

If your children are new to Youth and/or Children’s Ministries at CPC, they will be welcomed and included. The leaders here are warm and gracious and have a keen eye for kids who might not know where to sit or what to say. We love those kids. We pray for the chance to meet those kids. As a military family, we’ve moved seven times in ten years. My kids ARE those kids.

I love the passage that Anna referenced in the video and that Matt spoke about on Sunday. 

WE ARE DOING A NEW THING HERE. Whether your kids know every hallway of the church or haven’t been before, we want them to be a part of it, too.
