  • Family Front – Vol. 61, No. 7

    It’s hard to believe Easter has past, but I pray the expectancy of the hope that Christ brings hasn’t faded! Paul tells us in Colossians 1:5, “Your faith and love are based on the hope you have. What you hope for is stored up for you in heaven. You have already heard about it. You were told about it when the message of truth was given to you. I’m talking about the good news that has come to you.” 

    We are teaching that to our preschoolers and children in Bible Study at 9:45 a.m. on Sundays, KidsZone at 11:00 a.m. during worship, and to our preschoolers in Bible Study and Worship Care on Sunday mornings, AND in AWANA on Wednesday evenings! There are only a few more weeks left in AWANA. I am so thankful for dedicated teachers who are willing to teach our kids God’s word. AWANA Club Awards night is May 19 at 6:00 p.m. Plan to come and see what our kids have accomplished!

    Church-wide Movie Night will be in the courtyard on May 21 (time to be announced). Bring a blanket and/or lawn chairs and your own drinks. We will provide popcorn!

    July 26-30 is VBS Wilderness Escape and Sports Camp. VBS will be in the morning and basketball camp in the afternoon.  We hope to offer VBS in-person and virtual!  If you would like to be involved in leading, it’s not too early to let me know, kathy@feefeebc.org. Registration will be online in April. Please be in prayer for the workers, the children who will attend, and the Sports Crusaders who will lead the basketball camp.

    Sunday A.M. Bible Studies

    Preschool and children’s Bible Study has started again at 9:45 a.m. on Sundays. I am so thankful for our dedicated teachers who are willing to teach our kids God’s Word. We are requiring teachers and kids to continue to wear masks, as well as check-in at the preschool area where we will take temperatures and sanitize hands, too. This month the kids are all meeting together in room 110 as we walk with Jesus through the last week of His life on earth. On Easter Sunday, we will divide into age group classes:  K-1st grade in room 205; 2nd-3rd grade in room 209; and Livewires (4th-5th grade) in room 303.

    In-person Kids’ Activities

    “I am absolutely sure that not even death or life can separate us from God’s love. Not even angels or demons, the present or the future, or any powers can do that. Not even the highest places or the lowest, or anything else in all creation can do that. Nothing at all can ever separate us from God’s love because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done,” (Romans 8:38-39).

    I hope you enjoyed using your Advent Boxes to lead your family in celebrating the true meaning of Christmas this year! Continue to enjoy and celebrate together the coming of our Lord, even into the new year!

    Make it a New Year’s resolution to have Family devotions.

    Why? It’s God’s Command (Deuteronomy 6:6-9, Ephesians 6:4, and Proverbs 22:6). Beginning January 1, 2021, we will provide you with Grounded Family Devotions to help you with daily devotional time and to lead your family closer to Jesus. Grounded is a reading plan the whole church will be going through to read the New Testament in 90 days.

    But why wait? We all want to help our children to come to love and believe in the one True God. Setting time aside each day will show our children that God is the center and priority of our lives. If you need some devotional materials in the meantime, your child receives a devotion booklet each month. Preschoolers receive a page each week. Those are a good place to begin!

    Upcoming Kids’ Activities:

    Wednesdays: AWANA plans to start up again mid-January, with the hope that the virus does not escalate after Christmas. We will keep you updated.

    Sundays: Preschool care is provided for birth through Pre-K during 11:00 a.m. worship. Through at least January 3, elementary children will worship with their parents, as there will be no KidsZone; however, PraizPaks will be provided for both worship services. We hope to start preschool and children’s Bible study in January, as well as KidsZone.

    Wishing you a very blessed new year and praying we will ALL be able to join together again in person very soon for Bible Study and worship!

    “(Mary) is going to have a son. You must give Him the name Jesus. That is because He will save his people from their sins.  All of this took place to bring about what the Lord said would happen,” (Matthew 1:22).

    Isn’t it wonderful that we can trust and depend on what God says! What a great way to start the New Year!

    “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen,” (2 Peter 3:18).
