    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!

    AWANA

    We were so excited to get to start AWANA again and have our kids in the building on Wednesday nights. This is for all preschoolers and children up to 5th grade. Join us in the gym from 6:00-7:00 p.m. if you have kids or if you want a place to serve. We could use you to help a child learn the scripture for the night. I cannot think of a better way to use your time!

    KidsZone

    We have also begun KidsZone on Sundays during the 11:00 a.m. service. This will be held in the Rafters and end up in the gym. When you arrive for 11:00 a.m. worship get your child’s check-in sticker, leave your preschool children in the preschool area, then take your elementary child to the Rafters room on 3rd floor. I am thankful for Kyle and Scarlet Kalkbrenner, our interns, who are leading this for our kids. They will end the morning in the gym where you can pick up your child following worship. We will do our best to adhere to social distancing guidelines as we meet during all of these kids’ events. Just a reminder that on the 4th Sunday of each month, elementary kids will worship with you in the worship center. We also have preschool care for the 11:00 a.m. service every Sunday led by great caregivers.

    Just a reminder, for now, there are still weekly Bible lessons for kids on our church website that you can use at home. You can find these lessons on our website, on the KidsZone page. These can be great family worship times for the whole family to do together!

    Baptisms

    It was a great day Sunday to get to see two of our children baptized. What a testimony those two young ladies have as they expressed, through baptism, that they had already turned their lives over to Jesus. Church, it is our responsibility to walk alongside their parents as they disciple those young ladies.

    AWANA

    We were so excited to get to start AWANA again and have our kids in the building on Wednesday nights. Join us in the gym from 6:00-7:00 p.m. if you have kids or if you want a place to serve.

    KidsZone

    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!

    I miss you all immensely! I pray for you often that the Father will give you all the patience and love you need to carry on leading your children to know Christ better. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you lead your families.

    KidsZone

    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. On September 6 we will again offer in-person KidsZone at 11:00 a.m. during worship. We will do our best to adhere to social distancing guidelines as we meet. Please have your child wear a mask.

    Wednesday Night Activities

    In addition, we are planning Wednesday night activities to begin on September 9. We are currently working on what that will look like. The first night we would like to finish up our 2019-20 AWANA year with AWANA Awards. If you cannot attend we will be sure to get the awards to your children. We will look forward to seeing you again in the near future as you feel comfortable getting out.

    How Can We Help?

    It is understandable that these days are challenging for families. Now, with responsibilities of home-schooling on your plate, we want to be a support to you as you lead your children. If you have suggestions or questions on how we can help you, please share. We are anxious to serve!

    Upcoming Events/Serving Opportunities

    Despite the sheltering in place, we have some great opportunities to serve our community. We still have the Mobile Food Market every other Monday, and August 2-8 is Impact Week, where we serve our community through various projects. These will be great opportunities for families to serve together. You can sign up on our website.  You can also do your own family projects: make cards for local police or help a neighbor with yard work. Be creative as you serve your community.

    Maybe I will see you at our Swim Night on Friday, July 31 from 6:30-8:30 p.m., at the Bridgeton Pool? It will be a lot of fun!
