This summer, children who have completed 3rd-6th grade will have the opportunity to attend Crossings Camp at Jonathan Creek during July 21-24. The theme is “Park It: Abide in Jesus”. Kids will camp out John 15 to explore the amazing joy of being connected to Jesus and growing in a relationship with Him. Total camp cost is $150. Space is limited, so to reserve a spot for your child, please submit a non-refundable $75 deposit by February 21. Parents, you can register and pay for your child HERE.
Parents, make sure you check out our Parent Resource wall across from the Preschool Desk. I have added a few new things, including a packet about Levels of Biblical Learning. It lists the Biblical concepts children learn at different age levels. I also have a Bible Skills booklet that lists important scripture that children should memorize. I will try to update this Parent Resource wall once a month or quarterly. Make sure you look for your child's Take Home Page from Sunday School. This will help families disciple their children and have conversations about their child's Bible lesson.
Parents please check out two new resources: A Family Valentine's Day Tradition and Practical Ways to Help Families Nurture Faith at Homes.
Parents, we are going to recognize a teacher once a month to highlight the fantastic leaders we have in our Children’s Ministry. Our first teacher to be recognized is Linda Owens!
I started in Children's ministry at Eastwood when I was in High School working with Children's choirs, followed by helping in just about every other area over the years. I have loved working with all the children and getting to know them and their families. It’s been such a joy watching them grow spiritually. It’s always such a blessing to know I had just a small part in any decisions they may have made. Also, probably some of my most memorable experiences have been teaching 3rd /4th grade Sunday School for the past 25+ years. Not only have I learned so much from teaching but it has been fun watching them learn something new every week that maybe they didn't know before. Every
week we have so much fun learning together
as we study God's word!!! ~Linda
Thank you Linda for your years of service and making an eternal difference in children's lives.
