Coming This Summer...Just for Kids... Our summer worship will feature an exciting, new special time just for kids ages 3 years old through 5th grade, called Kids' Own Worship. The children will begin worship with their parents in the sanctuary, but after the children's message will go downstairs for their own Bible lessons. Summer doesn't have to be a desert with only a VBS oasis! Encourage your kids to join us for worship on their own level. The fun will start on Sunday, June 3...come join us as we celebrate God's goodness, mighty works and unconditional love! Summer Women’s Bible Study Join us Tuesday evenings starting June 5th as Beth Moore teaches us about Daniel and how to boldly live in our modern-day Babylon without falling prey to its allure. This 12 week study teaches us that just as the prophet Daniel faced unbelievable pressure to compromise his faith in a hostile culture and was constantly confronted by temptations and threats, today’s believers face similar trials. The first 6 lessons deal with Daniel’s life as he faced the kind of pressures and temptations Christians encounter today. Daniel models how to develop enduring integrity in an enticing world. The last 6 lessons explore thrilling prophecies from the time of Daniel through the second coming of Christ. A sign up sheet will be at the information table. Study books will be ordered at the end of April and will cost $18. Invite a friend and join us as we study Daniel and his prophecies. Nursery Volunteers Anyone over 5th grade would certainly qualify to spend an hour on a Sunday playing with our little ones. There is always one adult and one youth in there, and the average number of children is around 5. To qualify, you just have to be willing to have tea parties, hold little children, and rock a baby. Call the church office (359-3765) or e-mail Terri if you are interested. Hurry. . . There are kids that need a hug, and there are hugs waiting for you! Women’s Ministry Alive with Christ RCA Women’s Conference July 19-22, 2007 Ladies — it’s time to register for this conference! Forms are available on the Information Table. If you have questions, call the church office @ 359-3765. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
