"Train up a child in the way he should go;
Even when he is old he will not depart from it."
Proverbs 22:6
In obedience to this precious maxim of God we are about to embark on a new offering for our church family, specially our children. On the first and third Wednesday evenings each month we'll gather for Family Night. Supper will begin serving at 5:30 (come on when you can), then at 6:30 our youth and adults will sing, pray and study the bible in the Fellowship Hall. Our children will meet upstairs for an hour of active learning, pray/share time, and music just for them. We have been building to this point and it's almost here.
I'm also appreciative for the individuals who have said "Yes" to the call to be leaders. We have a meal team of Carolyn Flynn and Julie Wilson to prepare our 3rd week meals. In the meantime the first week meals will be purchased through local vendors. September 1st is Pizza Night and we are looking at vendors such as Golden Corral for October 6th. Anyone wishing to help out with the 1st week meal please see Carolyn or me.
Our Kidz for Christ time is being lead by Laurie Villanova with help from others. In September Emily MacMillan is helper. The kidz will learn, enjoy fellowship, activities and sing God's praises together. This is a wonderful development because it signals that we are moving forward in well-rounded ministries for everyone. Along the offerings described above, our handbell choir and sanctuary choirs meet to prepare to lead us in worship through their hands and voices, and now is a perfect time to join in the praises.
So everyone please make this a priority in your home as we come to be filled with a mid-week blessing of God's word, God's Spirit and fellowship with God's people.
Praising God with you,
Jon
