Fall!

Where has the summer gone?  We just got the letter in the mail from my daughter's school giving all the details for the new school year; what time to be there, what to bring, where to go.  My goodness!  So in preparation for the beginning of school, this last week of vacation we are getting ready.  We are going to bed at "school night time", getting our clothes for the next day organized, and getting up at "school time".

Here in Children's Ministries we are doing the same thing. It has been a very exciting time for me personally gearing up for the fall and winters quarters in the life of our church.  I would like to take a minute to explain what we are doing this fall and winter in Children's Ministries.

Wednesday Sept 5th is the official kick off for our fall children's programs. Children's Quizzing (led by Beth Simmons) starts at 6pm in the Family Center (FC-105).  It is a small group just for kids. Kids will study the Book of Acts and compete in area quizzes on their knowledge of Acts. They have the opportunity to advance to the district quiz and even the World Quiz held in Indianapolis, IN in June 2013.   I am personally SUPER EXCITED about it being a World Quiz year. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity for children to meet other "quizzers" from across the entire United States who also studied the Book of Acts. 

We will also kick off our Wednesday children's program, CONNECT.  It is a high energy, program that will not only engage your children in God's Word, but also provide a perfect avenue for your kids to invite their friends.  They will CONNECT with God's Word, CONNECT with friends and leaders at church and CONNECT with new friends. They will not want to miss out!

The Christmas Musical, "Meet Me at the Manger" is high gear. Practice begins August. 26th, during the Children's Church hour on Sundays.  There are opportunities for kids to participate in a sign language song, special choregraphy, solos and speaking parts.

You will also see some family events and kids events coming up for you and your family to participate in. 

I love fall! I love buying new school supplies, anticipating the changing of the leaves, the excitement of Children's Ministries and the opportunities for your children to grow spiritually!
