KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of November 22nd
This week as we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving with our families, we want to take a moment to share some of the things that our Kids Ministry team is thankful for…
We are thankful for opportunities to partner with you as we work together to point your kids to Jesus.
We are thankful for an amazing team of volunteers who plan and prepare each week to teach your kids about the truths of God’s Word.
We are thankful for your kids and and the energy and enthusiasm that they bring with them each week.
We are thankful for a church that desires to reach more people with the life giving message of the Gospel and encourages us to continually grow to be better followers of Jesus.
We are thankful for a God who loves us unconditionally and sacrifices for us so that we can have a personal relationship with Him.
We know that this has been an unusual year and it is easier than ever for us to complain about the changes to our plans, the sacrifices and challenges we’ve had to face or even the shortage of toilet paper…again. This week, let’s focus on sharing with our kids all of the blessings we have, big or small. We pray these verses over you and your family. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3:15-17, NIV)
Parent & Child Dedication is an opportunity for parents to publicly recognize their children are a gift from God and to dedicate themselves to Christ-centered parenting. We are looking forward to our next Parent & Child Dedication on Sunday, December 6th. The deadline for registering for Parent & Child Dedication is THIS Wednesday, November 25th. If you are interested in participating, sign up here.
