Happy Spring! Here is a little peek into what we’ve been up to in the Children’s Ministry over the past few months.
Reaching Out
In February, we made Valentines cards for some of the residents at Our House Senior Living Facility in Menomonie. They had a special mailbox set up outside where they invited anyone from the community to drop off Valentine’s mail. The Foundations kids took the challenge and made cards filled with personal notes, Bible verses, and reminders that God loves them. We also got to pray for all of the residents as a class, and many of the kids continued to pray for them outside of class as well.
Happenings at Home
Foundations class continues to meet every other Sunday during the church service for children in kindergarten through 4th grade. Recently we have been learning lessons from the life of David. We’ve seen how God looks at the heart rather than the outward appearance, and how God uses regular people who trust in Him to accomplish His plans. We also learned that God is faithful to forgive our sins when we honestly repent, just as He did with David. These lessons help us to know God’s character better so we can recognize His hand in our daily lives.
Prayer
One of the most important things we can do for the kids in our church is to pray for them. If you would like to join in praying for the Children’s Ministry, here are a few requests:
- That the kids would continue to grow in their understanding of who God is and how He has worked throughout history so they can recognize His involvement in their lives today.
- For good soil in the hearts of the children, and that the seeds being planted would sprout, take root and produce a crop in God’s timing.
