We have had a blast this summer and it's hard to believe that the new school year is already here! Some of our students haven't been in-person for school in over a year, some are transitioning to middle school and some are just beginning kindergarten. It's a busy, scary and exciting time for many and we are praying for you and your family in the midst of these transitions.
WEDNESDAYS
We will conclude our wet, wild and messy summer events this Wednesday, August 4 with a GIANT PAINT Slip & Slide!! Children should wear something that can get messed up. Send your child in an old white t-shirt for a one of a kind masterpiece when finished. Children will also need goggles and an old towel.
We will take a few weeks off (August 11, 18, 25) for families to get ready for school or take those last minute vacations before school begins. Wednesday night ministries for children will begin again on September 1st!
UPCOMING
Remember, we will not have the summer event on Saturday August 14. Save the date Sunday, September 19th 4-6 pm for a Fall Kick Off event!
MISSION MORNING - Saturday, August 28, 10 am-12 pm
We will be assembling Birthday in the Bag Kits for children in foster care. These kits will be made available for biological parents to celebrate their child's birthday. If your family would like to contribute to these bags we are collecting: cake mix, frosting, foil pan, candles, balloons. Children will gather on Saturday, August 28th to assemble these kits and pray for children and families that will receive them.
KIDS WORSHIP
Yesterday we began a 5-week series from Genesis on God's Promises.
When God first created the world, it was paradise! But it's not always easy for us to imagine a perfect world where nothing needs to be fixed - especially when we hear sad or scary news about the world we live in today. But even though the world today isn't exactly perfect, there's good news! Even though things sometimes go wrong, God's promises can always be trusted. As kids learn about famous figures from Genesis in this series, they will be reminded of God's faithfulness through the promises that were made to them, like God's promises to fix what was broken and to always shows us mercy, and that, even though they might sometimes take time to be fulfilled, God keeps all promises - both the promises God made now and the promises God made for later.
Our memory verse this month is Joshua 21:45
Not one of all the Lord's good promises to Israel failed; every one was fulfilled.
