a message from the children’s ministry

There are great things happening in our Children’s Ministry!

Every week, the kids have been actively engaging with Sunday School lessons, activities and worship. They’ve played, sang worship songs, made crafts, and learned lessons regarding God’s love for them and his people.

We are so thankful for our team of volunteers, who enjoy working with the kids to plant kingdom seeds in their hearts. They have stepped out beautifully during this time of transition!

While we have wonderful volunteers, we are still in need of more to serve our children!

If you are looking for an opportunity to serve, please consider helping with children’s ministry. It is a perfect opportunity to spread the love of Jesus!

‘But Jesus said to them “Let the children come to me! Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.” -Matthew 19:14

 
 

THE SEASON OF LENT Dwelling in Habakkuk

The season of Lent is the forty days from Ash Wednesday to Holy Week, representing the forty days when Jesus was tested in the wilderness.

Lent is a time of repentance and transformation as we grow deeper in our relationship with Jesus, and prepare for His resurrection on Easter Sunday. We set aside time to praise and worship God, to confess our sins and failures, and to commit to pray and study God’s Word more.
