KidMin Updates
Wednesdays

At Kindness Club we will help kids understand how God uniquely made us and how we can use those unique qualities to love God, love others, and impact the world around them. This week the kids have asked to make cookies for the Women's Center. I hope your child can join us in this project.

KidsWorship

Who doesn’t love a board game? Waiting for the game to unfold is a part of the fun, but it can be frustrating if kids don’t know why they are playing or what they need to be a part of it. This month in, Wait For It, kids will learn how to watch for and put their hope in Jesus. Everyone will meet John, Mary, Simeon and Anna— people who waited for a Savior to change their lives. Kids will learn that everyone needs a Savior, that the Savior will change everything, that God will do impossible things, and that Jesus is the one they’ve been waiting for!
Family Advent Cards

We have Advent Cards available for families to follow the big story of Scripture from creation to the birth of Jesus, highlighting God's faithfulness and His plan for a Savior. Each day you'll find a short passage of scripture, a question, a focus verse and suggested activities. Each card should take 5-10 minutes to complete as a family. See Pastor Lori for your Family Advent Cards.

Ministry Design Conference

Everyone is invited to attend the 2022 Ministry Design Conference. There is an excellent offering of seminars this year. The conference fee has been paid, and we are allowed unlimited participants. It is right here in Raleigh, at Forest Hills Baptist Church. Click the button for more information.
I want to let everyone in my church family know how much I appreciate all the prayers, well wishes and good thoughts for me in the past month or so. Prayer absolutely works! My surgery went well and he thinks he got all the cancer but he wants me to have 5 radiation treatments. The first treatment is Thursday the 9th. I went yesterday (Wed) and had another MRI and a CAT scan and was fitted with a mask I will have to wear during the treatments. Please continue to pray. When I am finished with all this their attention will turn to the cancer in my lung. There is a panel of doctors going to meet next week to discuss what option they should do because this type of cancer is so rare .

I Love My Church Family,
Shirley Ragsdale
