We are off to a great start in the new church year for our preschoolers and children. Thanks to the Lord for teachers who have answered God’s call to teach our kids His Word. If you are looking for the place to serve, talk to Kathy! There is always a place to serve for people who love kids.

Promotion Weekend

Saturday, we had a going away party for our 5th graders who moved up to youth and have started middle school. We will miss them and wish them the very best on their next step. We have also welcomed new Kindergartners from preschool into our children’s department and have great teachers that are ready to pour God’s Word into them.

AWANA is Back!

September 14 begins AWANA for our kids. AWANA is another way for kids to learn scripture and have fun with friends. If you would like to be part of this group of great teachers and helpers, talk to Kathy! We meet from 6:00-7:30 p.m. on Wednesday nights through the school year. Our first night of AWANA will be during Impact Week so the AWANA families will host a baby shower for THRIVE, who supports young moms and their babies. There will be many more projects to sign up for during Impact Week so stay tuned!

Feed My Starving Children Event

We have another opportunity to serve as a church at Feed My Starving Children, September 24 at Gateway Christian Church, 9:30-11:45 a.m. Sign up sheets will be out soon, or you can email me to let me know of your interest. This is a great organization that packs mobile food to send to starving nations. Your efforts in that 2-hour time frame will make a big difference in children’s lives.

Giving Back to Our Community

Thank you, Church, for your giving and responding to needs! It is a joy to serve with you! “A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed,” (Proverbs 11:25).
