Weaving Faith Into Life:  Kids will think and act in ways that please God.
Are you being a FaithWeaver this week?  Try this fun faith-growing activity with your child: This week kids committed to changing one bad attitude to a good one.  Help your child weave faith into life this week and follow through on this commitment!

We want to hear from you!  Share a simple way you connect with your kids spiritually during the week.  KidVenture is making plans to begin a blog, but, for now, please email Lori Short and Kerri Cordray with your ideas.  We would love to share your ideas in this section!

Missions Kids at Evergreen

All kids in fourth and fifth grades are encouraged to join the fun as they head to Evergreen Village for our Mission Kids activity on Wednesday, February 9 at 6:30 pm.  The kids will enjoy playing Bingo with the residents and having cookies.  VERY IMPORTANT:  Please drop-off and pick-up kids at Evergreen Village. 

 

Parents, we are asking for donations of small items for prizes - hard candy, mints, hand lotion, crossword puzzles etc. to give away for the winners. If each child brings 1-2 items, that should be plenty as we will probably have around 20 participants in Bingo. Thank you for your support!
