Take Up Your Sword

Posted August 1, 2021 By admin

The author of Hebrews tells us that God’s Word is alive. It’s not an ancient book that’s out of date and no longer important in today’s world. The Word of God is filled with wisdom and knowledge we can use today. The Word of God still speaks to us. It speaks to people picking it up to read it for the first time, and it speaks to people who have read it all their lives. You can never read it enough, and you can never learn enough from its pages. The author of Hebrews and Paul both describe the Bible as a sword. It can cut us deep, showing us what’s wrong with our lives so we can get it fixed. It can also defend us and save us from sin. The Bible is a powerful tool for life. It’s a weapon to fight temptation, and it’s an instruction book for following God. As many from our congregation read the Bible in 90 days, our Christian Education team thought it would be a great opportunity to get our children involved too! Over the next 12 weeks, join us in Sunday School as we focus on the Word of God. We will learn how to find things in the Bible, learn the books, and what the words inside say about our lives as followers of Jesus. We will also send home a “make it stick” resource for parents, so that you will be able to continue these conversations throughout the week at home! We are really looking forward to it.

Youth Director & Family Ministries

Posted July 29, 2021 By admin

Musical Mondays has been such a huge success for our church and especially our kids. There was such a wonderful response when we first announced it to the congregation. Over the past five weeks, we have sang, danced, made tambourines and lyres, and played numerous games together. Yes, we have fun. Of course we do. But the real growth of these children has been in all that they have learned. We start our morning out with a time of devotion and a lesson for the day. Our main objective is to learn that no matter what situation you are in, no matter how you do it, and no matter what anyone else says – you are called to worship God. Worship is our joyful response for all that God has done for us. Throughout each week, we learn different ways that we can praise God – by doing crafts, by being silent before the Lord, by reading Psalms, or by being in God’s house with each other. It truly has been a wonderful experience, and we still have a few weeks left. Watch your worship folders for a MUSICAL MONDAY SHOWCASE to be held. We would love to see you there.
In Christ,
Rachel

Acolyte Appreciation

Posted June 30, 2021 By admin

On Sunday, July 18th, we will recognize the contributions of our younger members who serve as worship assistants. Our acolytes perform an important task during worship services. Not only do they share the light of Christ as they light the candles as we begin our worship, they are the ones who assist the pastor as needed when things pop up during the service.
We are blessed to have several of our children serve at God’s altar. Please say a word of encouragement to them as they grow and learn what it means to become an active participant within the worship services of Christ’s church.

Kids For Christ

Posted June 30, 2021 By admin

We had a great time at KFC a couple of weeks ago learning about Philippians 1:6 “Being confident in this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus”. A glimpse into what our VBS key verse was and then the kids helped decorate some boards to go along with the theme by throwing darts at paint-filled balloons & using spray paint for the first time! We had so much fun & only got a liitttttleee messy!

Youth Director & Family Ministries

Last week, Pastor David and I were able to travel to Kings Mountain, NC to tour one of the two disaster response warehouses in the Carolinas Mission Region. We were able to see what items were needed and how they facilitate collection and distribution. The flood buckets and health kits even grew in quantity while we were there. This was also very special because we were joined by the NALC Bishop, Dan Selbo, and many other CMR Pastors. We have many ideas for our congregation to partner with the warehouse and Mission Region in the future. We are collecting cases of bottled water over the next month. This was the biggest need that we saw while we were there, and we would love to help where we see a need. If you would like to help, you can place the case(s) on the specified table in the Fellowship Hall. We will collect over the next couple of weeks and delivery will be announced at a later date.
Thank you in advance,
Rachel
