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

makers space may 21st!

"God's the potter, we're the clay. And we pass on that creativity as we live among God's people."

 In our May Maker's Space we'll be exploring the creation of a soup bowl: using texture, shape, design and pattern in our clay bowl and our lives.  Even if you have not experienced one of our creative sessions, you are welcome to come and bring a friend and see how prayer can happen without words.  God always has something to say to you if you pause long enough to listen.  Just let us know if you are coming so we can have your supplies ready. No experience necessary.  Email us at 2013themakersspace@gmail.com
