This past month we hosted two fun-filled weeks for children and youth. First our children blasted off to outer space during VBS. They spent the week learning what the Bible has to say about heaven, learning new songs, making fun crafts in the Space Lab, training in our Galactic Games, snacking on some Rocket Fuel. This year we had record attendance with over 100 children each day. Here are a couple slideshows of images from the week. The first is a longer version that we showed the space explorers on our last day of VBS and the second is the video recap we shared during our worship service after the event.
Our second event this summer was our Art Camp for girls. This summer our Art Camp was called “In & Out Cafe – Jealousy is not on the Menu”. With our largest group to date, the 64 campers learned what the Bible teaches about jealousy, lying, quarreling, deceit, and forgiveness. A 50’s Diner theme allowed for incredible art projects! The group dance had us swingin’, boppin’, twistin’, and hoppin’ the week away! It was so much fun! Enjoy our highlight video from camp!
We are proud to present Children’s Ministry first ever parenting conference. On April 11th & 12th will be hosting the Spiritual Parenting Conference.
What is a Spiritual Parenting Conference?
It’s not about perfect behavior. It’s about passionate hearts.
It’s hard enough to train kids to behave, but good behavior isn’t what Jesus calls for in the Bible. He wants hearts and souls that are shaped in vibrant faith and love toward God and others. In Spiritual Parenting, Dr. Michelle Anthony places the dependence upon God for our child and calls the reader to a heart posture of obedience and faithfulness. The end goal is a vibrant faith that is passed on from one generation to another. During this conference we will learn from author Michelle Anthony through previously recorded conference. The following sessions will be offered:
- Awakening to Spiritual Parenting
- Environments for Cultivating Faith and Storytelling
- Identity and Faith Community
- Responsibility and Course Correction
Details about each of these sessions will be posted on the church blog in the coming weeks leading up the the Conference.
