1) Memory Verse Sunday- October 4 @ 9:30 am & 11:00 am: One of our core values as a kids ministry is to see God's word in the hearts of your kids. Your elementary aged kids will have an opportunity to say the current unit memory verse for a prize. Our memory verse is 1 Chronicles 16:15 NIV version

5) Sub with us in Kids Ministry: As we head back into the the school year this is a great time to get more connected. One way that can look like is by joining the sub team. Subs sign up for one weekend and service a month. It is very flexible, and it is a great opportunity for you all to learn more about what we do as a kids ministry on Sunday mornings. You can sign up to join our sub team with this link.
6) Serve with us in Kids Ministry: We are always looking for more people to join the team. This is especially true of when we start the new school year. This is a great opportunity to get connected, and to learn more about how to disciple your kids.

7) Compassion Giving Initiative Reminder- We wanted to remind you this year that we are partnering with Compassion to create a bigger focus missions and giving. Compassion is an amazing organization that partners with churches to help support kids. We are sponsoring a boy named Samuel and a girl named Eden who are both from Ethiopia. We are excited for your kids to learn more about them in the coming months.
8) Join the set up team: One team I am wanting to grow is our team that helps me set up rooms on Sunday. I am looking for a couple of more people to serve kids ministry by coming in to help set up on Thursday mornings. This is a great opportunity to serve during the weekday, and it can be something you do as a family. If you are interested in learning more please email [email protected]
