Look! See What God’s doing- Children’s Ministry Weekly Church Update
Father and Son Dodgeball night!
This week we started our midweek gathering for our children’s ministry. The dads and boys (k-5) got together for a night of dodgeball and devotion. It was a blast!
This is the beginning of our efforts to build a midweek program for our children’s ministry. After many planning meetings and conversations, we’ve decided to take a “softer” approach to our midweek programming. Sparked Vision, rolled out in 2021 to be the vision and structure of our midweek program, is still the direction we’re headed to provide a meaningful midweek service for our kids and be an outreach tool for the community. However, in effort to build community first, we’re going to begin by providing more relaxed opportunities for families to gather so that people inside and outside of our church can connect with one another.
How we’ve decided to do this is by offering twice a month a night for Dads and Boys to gather and Moms and Girls to gather to play. The Moms and Girls group is still in the works with plans to launch early next year.
If you’re a guy, we’re inviting you to come join us! Come gather with other guys and boys every other Tuesday.
Tell your friends!
Next meeting: Tuesday November 15, 2022 6:00PM-7:30PM in the Gym.
See you there!
