Family and Children's Ministry Happenings

Family Challengestop

Verbalizing God's faithfulness to your family in the seen and unseen things increases your family's faith. So play the 'Stoplight Gratitude Game'. Every time you get into the car, ask your family to think of 3 things they are thankful for at every stoplight. Every November I have done this with my family. It is one of my favorite things to do. Kids learn about your faith and you about them! Try it!

 

Encounter 2010 Winter Camp for 4th - 6th graders

One of the most profound ways to experience fun, fellowship and faith is a spiritual retreat. There is just something about "going away"-retreating-for a weekend with peers and leaders that gives us a taste of what life is really all about: enhancing the quality of our relationships with each other, with the world and with God. Retreats are mountaintop experiences that can impact our lives positively. Register your 4th, 5th and 6th graders for Encounter 2012 today!
