| Greetings! | |
Summer is here, and with it comes a lot of excitement and opportunities for fun. And in case you are wondering... Yes, I am talking about excitement and fun at Fellowship of Montgomery. God has blessed our church with some of the greatest people I have ever known when it comes to loving children, teaching them God's Word, and making sure they have a fun time all the time.
I want to encourage you to take the next few minutes, grab your calendar, and write down the special dates you see listed below. Our staff and volunteers have worked hard at planning some great opportunities for your children to have fun and grow spiritually, and we want to make sure they do not miss anything. Also, if your children are grown and already out of the house, please consider forwarding this email to other friends and family members. I'm sure they would appreciate learning more about the great things we have going on for their children to participate in this summer.
My prayer is that you will have a fun and safe time with your family this summer. But let me also encourage you not to forget and neglect the God who has blessed us.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Dale

| The Kove Pre-School Ministry | |
The Kove Pre-School Ministry Update:
Nursery: Each Sunday we enjoy providing our littlest ones with a loving and caring environment while parents participate in worship. Toddlers: In the toddler area, we get to have a lot of fun as we create a friendly, Christian environment where our kids enjoy singing, snacks, games, and Bible activities.  Pre-K (3-5 yrs): This month we are continuing our series in the Kove called Power Up Jr. Button and Switch find out it's not always fun and games as they play through the game zone. When things go wrong, Button and Switch learn from Jesus' teaching in the Bible about how to control their character! Thank you for sharing your children with us and allowing us to love on them and teach them about Jesus. We always pray for your children, and we pray for you too! If you have any questions, please contact Heather Schenk in the nursery on Sunday. |
| The Wave Children's Ministry |
The Wave Update
 The Wave (K-3rd): This month we will continue our series that is exciting and fun called Power Up Kids. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to actually play inside a video game? Then join Rom, Ram and the Game Boss in this series, Power Up! We'll play games, decode puzzles, and learn from Psalm 101 how to live a life completely powered up!
 On Wednesday evenings join us in The Wave for pizza and Shipwrecked. Trapped on an island they think is deserted, two castaways, Aaron and Jamie, face hunger, weather, something they think is a large bird, and the sound of something they can't even see. Will they survive? Will they be rescued? Will they ever learn to get along? Find out as we learn some valuable lessons from the life of Paul. We meet at 6:30p to enjoy pizza and games with our friends. At 7:00 pm we have a fun time of learning about the Lord as we turn our attention to God's Word.

The Ride Pre-Teen Ministry
|
 The Ride Update:
Preteens (4th-6th grade): On Sundays, we are doing a series called Konnect. The preteen group is going on a journey through the Bible. The stories come alive through hands-on projects, crazy games, and fun activities. Join us each Sunday as we will be looking at stories from Creation through Exodus. On Wednesdays our curriculum is called SuperStart, and this quarter the theme is amazing illusions. Here is what this theme looks like: Take a trip to an amazing place! Go with Patrick, Samantha, and Eric to The Amazing Kent's Illusion Study as they learn  how to do illusions. The Amazing Kent is a great teacher and even arranges for an audience to watch Patrick, Samantha, and Eric perform their illusions. As the cast learns how to do illusions and gets themselves into some wacky situations, students will make some amazing discoveries about their own lives. 
Preteen Camp: If you are interested in preteen camp, there are still spots available, but your deposit is required to secure a spot. Please contact Marissa Scholl at marissa.scholl@gmail.com or Rockey Butler in the church office. |
