AWANA is Back!
September 14 begins AWANA for our kids. AWANA is another way for kids to learn scripture and have fun with friends. 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 on September 14, 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! Families can still register their child for AWANA on September 14 – so bring the form filled out that evening. The following week, on September 21, we will actually start AWANA Club! If you would like to be part of this group of great teachers and helpers, talk to Kathy! We need every parent to help us this year by staying the first 10 minutes to work with 1 child on their memory verses, just listening to them say the verses they are learning each week. This will help us tremendously in guiding children in learning God’s Word.
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. (meet there at 9:00 a.m.). Reservations are required. Signup sheets are in the Welcome Center, 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. You can turn hunger into hope with your own two hands by packing nutritious meals for hungry children around the world.
Trunk or Treat
Put Sunday, October 30 on your calendar for our annual Trunk or Treat event right here in the church parking lot. Be thinking how you want to decorate your trunk. We will be collecting candy starting October 1.
Drama Opportunity for Kids
This fall we will be producing another kid’s Christmas story video to use in the Christmas production in December. If your child would like to be part of the that, talk to Kathy.
