Good Morning, Parents,
I hope you’ve had a wonderful summer!
We’re excited to invite you to Kick Off Sunday as we launch our fall season with Kids Church on Sunday, September 7, at 10:30 AM. Save it on your calendar today! Stay after worship for our Kick-Off Backyard BBQ! Enjoy hot dogs, burgers, and picnic favorites. Kids can play in the bounce house, adults can join games, and everyone can meet new friends. All FREE!
What is Kids Church? Kids Church is our way of introducing children to Jesus through a worship experience designed just for their age. It begins every Sunday right after the Children’s Moment in the main service. Kids then proceed to the Kids Church area, accompanied by our helpers, who are background-checked and trained in child safety. There, children enjoy learning about God through Bible stories, music, and the arts.
Why It Matters: Many children today grow up without consistent spiritual guidance, and our church wants to help fill that gap. Investing in your child’s spiritual life is one of the most important things you can do for them.
What Your Child Gains: Kids get to explore their faith, learn Bible stories, make new friends their age, and have fun along the way.
3 Reasons why you should come and bring your kids:
1. A study indicates that young children of churchgoing parents fare better behaviorally, emotionally, and cognitively compared to their peers with less religious involvement.
2. Research shows that these individuals are twice as likely to read the Bible weekly, attend church services regularly, and pray frequently compared to those who did not attend church during their youth.
3. Families who attend church together frequently share meaningful relationships and deepen their relationships.
Biblical Encouragement
"And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7
“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.” Ephesians 6:4
We’d love for you and your child to join us and try it out. Come and see what Kids Church is all about!
