Hello Kids & Grown-ups,May 5, 2008
Cinco de Mayo
Birthday GirlHappy “Cinco de Mayo” and especially a Happy Birthday to our own Brooke Turner!! Children’s Church was awesome again yesterday. We started in Big Church as we witnessed a baptism, then we continued our lessons on the Life of Jesus.
This week was about Peter and Simon leaving their fishing and become “fisher’s of men”. The children enjoyed the story and it opened up many questions that they asked and explored.
Smiles to You!
After our lesson we enjoyed crafting our own Rainbow Fish followed by the ever so popular word search puzzle. We welcomed 3 new members to the Children’s Church attendance chart today.
These 3 girls have been coming on a regular basis, but had been signing in as visitors. Today we officially welcomed Anna, Brooke & Raquel as regular members to our group. This puts the Children’s Church roster at 13 children.
After church, some of the children participated in a mission project to promote an event taking place at the church on May 18.
There were 8 children and 3 adults. We started out by enjoying pizza for lunch, then we walked around a neighborhood and distributed over 100 flyers.
The children seemed to really enjoy this event. Many thanks to Linda and Donna for your help and supervision with the children.
An Important Note From Miss Carol: The children will be rehearsing for their program to be presented Sunday, 5/11, Mothers Day. They will rehearse Wednesday night at 6:30pm and Sunday morning during Sunday School time, around 9:45am. Please, Please, Please make a special effort to get them to church on these 2 dates so we can polish up on our gift. Thank you all for the opportunity to enjoy your children!
