Monthly Kids Update : April
It was a joy to celebrate Easter with you all. As we get closer to summer there are several really exciting things coming up. The purpose of our newsletter is to help provide you all with information about what is going on in our kids ministry. Please take a look at everything below to learn what is happening between now through the summer.
1) Parent Commission Class- April 7 @ 11:00 am- Is a class that is an opportunity to learn how we partner with families. It is also a great opportunity to get better connected with the Church. You will learn more about your calling as the lead disciples of your kids. It will be offered during both service times. All families who participate in our child dedication must attend this class. We believe that this is an experience that you will not want to miss out on, and it will make the child dedication portion of the experience more meaningful. You can learn more and sign up by clicking here.
2) Child Dedication- April 21 @ 9:30 am & 11:00 am - Child Dedication is an opportunity for families to come up on stage to recognize their calling that home is the first mission field. This a a sweet time where the church comes together to pray and celebrate families. Child Dedication will be offered during both of the services. All families who participate in child dedication must also participate in the parent commissioning class. These two opportunities are designed to go together as one meaningful experience.

3) BIBLE MEMORY VERSE - May 12 @ 9:30 am & 11:00 am - One of our values as a kids ministry is to store scripture in the hearts of our kids. Our elementary age kids are working on a memory verse that they will have an opportunity to recite on May 12 for or a prize. The verse is John 1:29 CSB.
4) Summer Jam- May 19 - If you were last year we did something called summer preview. This year we are calling it Summer Jam. Summer Jam is an experience where there will be family worship as well as fun activities. It is also an opportunity to learn more about what will be happening during the summer. It will be on May 19 from 3:00-4:30 pm. You can sign up by clicking here.
5) VBS- June 24-27- The VBS Sign up form is Live! This year at VBS we are going to Start The Party where we will celebrate the good news. This will be an amazing week where your kids will hear how the gospel changes everything, and that is something we should celebrate. VBS will be on June 24-27 from 6:00-8:00 pm. VBS is for kids who are entering into kindergarten next school year through kids have will have completed 5th grade this school year. You can learn more and sign up by clicking here.
6) Kids Camp- July 29-August 2- Out of everything we do camp is by far my most favorite thing we do. This is something you do not want to miss. I have seen first hand how camp can change lives. Centrikid camp will be on July 29- August 2nd at The Skycroft Conference Center in Middletown, MD. This is a place our church has a long history of going to for various things, and it is a great venue for a kids camp. The payment for camp will be 350 dollars with a 75 dollar deposit. Families must cover the 75 dollar deposit, but scholarships are available upon request like last year to help cover the rest. I am so excited about camp that one thing I thought would be fun to do is have a prize for the first handful of kids to register. The first ten spots have been filled, so we will announce a winner for our 20 dollar gift card on Monday in our Kids at Severn Run Facebook Group. There are limited spots left, so please do not wait to sign up. You can register and learn more by clicking here
7) Praying for the 42- We are soon embarking on a very expansive kids space remodel. Each week we are also seeing more and more families come. I am actively praying for God to raise up 42 new leaders by the time the renovation is completed. I believe that 42 new leaders will meet the growth we are seeing, and will create an even better discipleship experience for kids. Serving in kids ministry is great opportunity to get connected, learn more about sharing the gospel, and learn more about what your kids are learning each weekend. We do an online new leader training every month, and you can sign up for one and learn more with this link.
8) Sub with us in kids- Not only are we looking for more people to serve on our team, but I am also praying for at least 16 new subs to be added to our sub list. Subbing in kids is a great opportunity to learn more about kids ministry. Subs are expected to sign up for one weekend a month to help fill in for people who may be sick or out of town. This is great for people that want to serve, but have a busier schedule. You can sign up to join the sub list using this link.
