Hey kids and parents welcome to the first of many blogs that I will be writing to encourage, excite, inform, and share all that is going on with the children's ministry here at Grace. To start off I would like to tell you our goal in the children's ministry, it is summed up by 2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. I want the children's ministry here at Grace to be more than just fun and games, it is my heart's desire to see our kids grown in the faith and knowledge of our Lord. I want to see them grow as Jesus grew, as it says in Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man. Our desire is to see them grow up physically, mentally, socially, and most importantly spiritually just as Christ grew up. We have different programs and teachers to help our children achieve this goal of being well grounded in the Word and work of the Lord. We have Kids4Truth on Wednesday nights that helps teach our children from the ages of 2 until 12 twelve doctrinal themes of the Bible that are the foundation of what we believe and why we believe it. It is founded totally on the Word of God (as it should be) and gives the children Biblical answers for what they believe. Preparing our children for what they will face spiritually by memorizing and applying God's Word will help them win those spiritual struggles that we all face everyday. We also have 3 different age appropriate children's churches in which the children are being prepared for adult church, they sing, take up offerings and listen as the Bible is opened and they are taught principals from God's Word.
Once a month we have activities for the kids to get together and have fun. Last month we had carnival type games in our annual Back to School Bash. The children earned prizes by winning points on each of the games that they played and all left with bags full of surprises. Before they left for the night they were treated to root beer floats and popcorn. We are in the process of planning our next activity for September, which if all goes as planned will be a great time for our children. So check back often during the next week or so to find out the when and where of our next activity here at Grace.
