Dear Parents,
This Lenten season GSPC has a special challenge for your elementary-age children. You will soon receive a copy of our "Young Worshippers Challenge" in the mail along with a letter from me that explains the challenge. The booklets are also available at the church. The letter is below, and you are welcome to download your own copy of the challenge. I hope that you will encourage and help your child to engage in the season of Lent through this challenge. We look forward to handing out prizes to all who complete the booklet on Palm Sunday.
For those of you with younger children, please look for the new children's worship activities that go along with the sermon each week. If you have a younger child who wants to participate in the challenge, just let me know.
For adults, we have a Lenten devotional booklet.
The letter to your children that you will soon receive in the mail is below.
A Letter to GSPC Elementary-Age Children:
Lent is the season of our church year that helps us prepare for Easter. It is a time when we focus on things that are important to God and ask God to forgive us for the things we do that distract us from God. One of the ways we do this is by attending worship services. It is great when you can do this in person. We always miss you when you are not with us on Sundays! But you can also be a part of worship by watching the service online on the Government Street Presbyterian Church YouTube page.
This year during the season of Lent, we want to help you focus on God by giving you a challenge. Your mission is to complete this packet during worship each week and return it to church on Palm Sunday, March 24th. If you can’t make it to church in person one Sunday, you can watch the service online sometime during the week. All students who complete the challenge will be recognized on Palm Sunday and will earn an ice cream gift certificate! We hope you will fill out the packet each week beginning on Sunday, February 18, so we can celebrate that you focused on God in this way during the Lenten season.
I pray for you and your family, and I love seeing you on Sundays.
