FALL FESTIVAL!

2009-10-13T08:25:00.001-07:00

Pray, Give and Go!

2009-10-07T07:29:00.001-07:00

Last week I told you about Splink, a great resource for families!

I thought I would post the Splink ideas for this week, to give you a little taste of what it is all about!

Splinks for October 4th - October 10th

1) Pray...

Make a prayer book. Collect pictures from relatives and friends and put these in a book (photo album or small scrapbook works great). As you pray at bedtime, teach your children to include a prayer for those not yet following Jesus.

Pray:

that they would know how much God loves them

that they would understand the truth about Jesus

that they would invite Jesus into their life

2) Give...

Start saving change and doing extra chores to give to a missionary or organization for Christmas. One idea is to pack a shoebox for Samaritan's Purse. (The collection week is November 16-23.) All the information you need, including a video for your kids to watch is on their website, www.samaritanspurse.org.

3) Go!

Write the word missionary on a piece of paper. Ask your kids what word they see (mission). An astronaut goes on a special space mission. A mission is a job or assignment. A missionary's job is to tell people about Jesus. Jesus gave His followers a mission just before He went back to heaven. His last words were, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15).

Jesus told the people to go, but He also gave them a promise: "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world" (Matthew 28:20).

Getting Plugged In

2009-09-30T13:47:00.001-07:00

In the coming months, many new tools for you as a parent will be available.

The first of these is a Quarterly newsletter. This newsletter will be available at the Children's Check-In desk, as well as in your LifeGroup.
The first newsletter will introduce you to Splink. Splink is an excellent tool for connecting to your family each week. Did you know that throughout the year, children spend 1% of their time at church and 51% with the families. You have an incredible opportunity to share the message with your kids-in the morning, at night, driving in the car, and eating dinner together.

Splink will give you free and easy ways to plug into your kids and get them plugged into the Lord!

Stay tuned for many more resources for your family!

It's been a while, but I'm back! Summer is a BUSY place around here! VBS was amazing as we saw 15 kids come to know the Lord! That is what it is all about!

Next week we head out to Kidz Kamp. 21 kids and 4 sponsors will be gone for 5 days! Please be in prayer for each of these kids, that their lives will be touched through each part of this week. Also please pray for our safety in our travel and in our activities.

We want to invite all area children and visitors to hop on board the Boomerang Express as VBS 2009. Kids will wind their way though the land down under, traveling to Recreation Rock, the Music Opera House, Goodday Cafe, and so much more!

Children will be able to learn about the vast love of Christ, and that no matter what-it all comes back to Him!

The fun packed week aboard the Boomerang Express is June 8-12 , from 9 AM-12 Noon. Registration opens at 8:45. There will also be a Family Fun Night on Friday at 6:30 PM. Families will be treated to hot dogs, a bounce house, and water slide to celebrate the fun filled week!
