AWANA Club

September 9 will be our first AWANA Club for the 2020-2021 season. We have missed our kids so much! We will start this new year with AWANA Awards celebrating the work the kids and leaders did last year before COVID moved us to dismiss early. Join us in the gym from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. for this celebration. After that we will have a scaled down AWANA Club every Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. We could use some additional helpers as you feel led to return to the church building.

KidsZone

We have also restarted KidsZone on Sunday mornings during the 11:00 a.m. service and will be in the gym. Parents can drop off and pick up kids there. I am thankful for Kyle and Scarlet Kalkbrenner, our interns, who are leading this for our kids. We will do our best to adhere to social distancing guidelines as we meet during all of these kids’ events. Preschool care will also be available during the 11:00 a.m. service.

Just a reminder, there are weekly Bible lessons for kids on our church website under the KidsZone section that you can use at home that comes with some downloadable activities.

Be Strong and Courageous

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go… Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go,” Joshua 1:7, 9.

Joshua was leading a great multitude of people getting ready to go into the Promised Land and take possession through battle. Whatever you are preparing to take possession of (family concerns, school for kids, work, etc.), God promises to be with you through the battle. Take courage! There is a Promised Land on the other side of this pandemic! Wait and see how God will hold you in the midst of it!
