  • Family Front – Vol. 61, No. 3

    Here are updates on in-person kids’ activities:

    Wednesdays: AWANA has started, 6:00-7:00 p.m. for kids 3 years old through 5th grade. Kids: bring your book, Bible, and wear a mask.

    Sundays: Preschool care is provided for birth through pre-K during 11:00 a.m. worship. KidsZone has begun as well for kids K-5th grade at 11:00 a.m. The 4th Sunday of each month, K-5th grade kids will still worship with their parents. When there is a 5th Sunday in the month, we will have a Birthday Bash to celebrate birthdays from the months prior.

    I hope you will get involved in our Grounded emphasis. There is a devotion for each week to do with your family to involve the kids in this emphasis of reading through the New Testament. You can download the devotional booklets from our website or we can email it to you; we can also mail you a physical book if you prefer. Just let us know! Involvement in a T-group (transformation group) will help you grow deeper into scripture. Encourage your kids to use their devotional books that we send monthly with daily devotions. Get involved!

    We are planning to do VBS in some form this year. It may be a drive-in experience for families, it may be in-person.  But we plan to have something! If you would like to be involved, it’s not too early to let me know.

    Praying we will ALL be able to join together again in person very soon for Bible Study and other activities! Let me know if you need any resources to help in discipling your children: kathy@feefeebc.org.

    “And let us watch out for one another to provoke love and good works. Not neglecting to gather together, (even if it’s online) … but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching,” (Hebrews 10:25).

    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!

    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!

    “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!

    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.

    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!

    FREE Family Resources

    If you need additional resources, you can find many of them through Right Now Media. Just give us permission to put your email into our account and you can access Right Now Media for FREE! It is a great resource for kids’ videos, Bible Study resources for all topics and ages. “What’s in the Bible” by Phil Vischer is a particular favorite of mine. What an opportunity you have right now to lead your kids to know Jesus and to better understand the Bible!

    Daily Prayer

    Don’t miss our Daily Prayer on Facebook Live every weeknight at 7:00 p.m. Get your kids involved by having them share prayer requests, too. What a precious time this has been and will continue to be!

    AWANA

    We will likely have our AWANA Awards Night the first Wednesday night we return to AWANA in the fall. Further information will be posted as details become available.

    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.
