    Family Worship!

    It has been so good to worship together in person these last few weeks. It was wonderful to have kids in worship again! Families will find a onetime-use individual Praise Packs with a few activities for kids to follow along with the worship service. It is okay, too, if you choose to stay at home to worship!  We will look forward to seeing you again soon as you feel comfortable getting out. You can pick up a Praise Pack and bring it back with you to the Worship Center for worship – you are not required to sit in the gym.

    Ministry 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 another blood drive July 22-23. Impact Week will be August 2-8, where we serve our community through various projects. These will be great opportunities for families to serve together. Watch for more information!

    KidsZone Bible Study

    Just a reminder, there are weekly Bible plans on our church website that you can use at home as well as some downloadable activities. The KidsZone lessons follow the sermon series, “I AM,” the statements of Jesus in the book of John. You can find these on our website on the KidsZone page.

    My Prayer for You

    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.

    “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,” Joshua 1:7.

    It has been so good to worship together in person these last few weeks.  It was wonderful to have kids in worship again! We have provided onetime-use Praise Packs with a few activities for a child to go along with the worship service. I’d like to see the children engaged rather than just ‘busy.’ Of course, you are free to bring your own activities for your children to do. It is okay, too, if you choose to stay at home to worship! We will look forward to seeing you again soon as you feel comfortable getting out.

    Ministry 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 another blood drive on July 22-23. Watch for other opportunities for volunteers to serve in the near future!

    Regathering

    We are looking forward to opening on June 7 for our two worship services only. It will so good to be back with God’s people under the same roof. Please expect that opening will look a lot different than before and we will plan on giving each other a lot of grace as we navigate re-opening during a pandemic for the first time. If you do not feel comfortable coming, or if you are ill, please stay home and take care of yourself! If you do choose to come, be sure to wear a mask and use social distancing. We will share some great greetings and ‘how are you’ from across the room with each other!

    We do plan to have the gym open for overflow and for families with children to gather around tables. I will provide a onetime use Praise Pack with a few activities for each child to go along with the worship service. I would like to see the children engaged rather than just ‘busy.’ You are welcome to bring your own activities for your children to do as well. Just a reminder, there are weekly Bible lessons on our church website that you can use at home in addition to some downloadable activities.

    VBS and Summer Plans

    We are making late summer and fall tentative plans. Look for more information coming in July. I will say that we are tentatively looking at having VBS in a park in late summer. This will all depend on if and when the parks open up and begin taking reservations. We will keep you updated as plans progress and when we can move to Phase 2 of our re-gathering plans.

    Leading Your Family

    I miss all our children and families and workers 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. This verse from Deuteronomy 6:5-7 tells us how to do just that:

    “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

    You may have read some of the same things in my article for the last couple of issues, so I am going to share a few things that I have learned, or re-learned, through these days.

    1. God is still in control. He is able. He is aware of all of our needs. He is faithful.
    2. He has caused me to ‘Be still’ more so I can hear Him. I like to be busy doing His work, worshipping with other believers, being with the kids and providing good discipleship opportunities for kids…without that I was feeling a bit out of sorts, without purpose. God reminded me ‘doing’ or ‘going’ less is okay.
    3. I can do more with technology than I thought I could. It is still rough at times but God has granted us good tech people to assist.
    4. Our church people are faithful through all this. Bible study leaders are contacting their classes. That is especially true of our kids’ teachers. They are a great group of caring adults that love our kids and desire for them to know Jesus better and share Him with their friends.
    5. Prayer time with other believers is rejuvenating and has been sustaining for me.
    6. Worship of our Almighty God can even be done across cyberspace! Isn’t He a great God?!

    Thank you God, for what you are teaching us and what You will continue to teach us through these days. Let us not take for granted the gathering of believers ever again! AMEN!

    So how is everyone out there is quarantine-land? I miss getting together with the kids and seeing families at church! If you need anything, (and that includes prayer), do not hesitate to let us know. Parents, you have a lot on your plate: homeschooling, your own work, keeping family happy and healthy. Know that I am praying for you.

    KidsZone

    You will find a weekly KidsZone for preschoolers and children on our website each week. There are also handouts and activities to go along with it. If you do not have a printer at home, please let me know; I would be happy to mail them to you. I hope you choose to worship with your children. There is a worship bulletin that kids can use to follow along with Sunday morning worship services as they sit with you. A video has been posted on the Children’s Ministry Facebook page for parents about “Helping Kids Navigate the Pandemic.”  There are many activities you can enjoy together – some of which you will be hearing about this week!

    Summer Fun Week

    It is with a big sad face that the announcement that Summer Fun Week has been postponed.  We are planning to have Vacation Bible School but are just not sure when that will be. As of right now, we are cancelling Basketball Camp. Watch for more details throughout the summer.

    “For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth,” (Job 19:25). What a promise to give us hope to stand on!

    So how is everyone out there in quarantine land?  I miss getting together with the kids and seeing families at church!  Blackaby’s “Experiencing God Day by Day” devotional spoke to me today: “God’s purpose in creating a nation for Himself was to demonstrate His wisdom to the world through the obedience of His people…God gives you the same opportunity to base your life on His wisdom…You as a Christian have access to God’s wisdom…God’s Holy Spirit is within you to guide you…and will open your eyes to the truth of scripture…As you allow God to direct your life, those around you will see true wisdom…your family will be blessed because you make wise decisions.” Isn’t it great to be called His child and know that we can rely on His truths to guide us to live for Him? Lead your family today to do just that by spending time with Him.

    Families are now getting the opportunity to practice what Deuteronomy 6:4-7 says! In addition to helping with schoolwork at home, parents will have opportunity to lead worship with their families. I will be emailing you a link that provides a resource of some kids’ worship sessions you can use with your kids at home. Be watching for that! Bible Study teachers will also be mailing home the kids’ activity pages that go with their Bible Study lessons.
