Everyday Kidz Volunteers: Mark Your Calendars

EDK_logo4cThere are a bunch of kids coming on Sundays! We’ve planned a mandatory meeting for Everyday Kidz Volunteers to hear how our ministry is changing to adjust to this exciting growth. This ministry isn’t possible without you, so I want to spoil you a bit with a home-cooked meal and lots of desserts. Mark your calendars for the Everyday Kidz Volunteer Fall Meeting. 

Sunday, October 12, 1:30-3:30

If you are unable to make this meeting, please contact me to schedule a time to get the information. Thanks,

Wendy

New Teaching Series: Playing With Matches

Words are incredibly dangerous. Words spark revolutions, end marriages, and damage hearts. Words can also be incredibly healing. Words can strengthen us and set us free.

It’s like a fire. Fire warms us, and cooks food, and purifies things. Fire can also burn everything to the ground. God has entrusted us with a powerful, dangerous, glorious thing– these words. We’ve been Playing With Matches our whole lives, perhaps without realizing how much is at stake. It’s time we learn how to wield our words with wisdom.

Everyday Kidz will be learning age-appropriate versions of these lessons as well, in Only You Can Prevent Fires:

Everyday Kidz: Science Sundayz

ScienceSundayz_title

This July, Everyday Kidz don lab coats and safety goggles for Science Sundayz.

Okay, maybe they won’t need safety goggles. But we’ve got some exciting, educational experiments planned for our Sunday experiences. Everyday Kidz will learn some science, and we’ll also use these experiments as metaphors for important spiritual truths.

Let’s help keep the academic side of Everyday Kidz brains from turning to jelly this summer. Bring your kids, your nieces and nephews, your neighbors’ kids, and all their friends. Spread the word!

Pray For Us: An Update From Wendy

This past Sunday many of us celebrated our fathers, thanking them for their impact and love for us. But for millions of kids in the US and many living in our neighborhood, Father’s Day is a painful reminder that their dad is not around.

“But you, God see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.” Psalms 10:14

Please pray for opportunities for caring adults to be in their lives to help fill the gap that their fathers leave. Pray they would know their heavenly Father who loves them unconditionally.

Pray For Us: An Update From Larry

The Everyday Church Princess Retreat is only a few days away. A group of pre-teen girls, mom’s and other ladies are heading out of the city this weekend to discover their identity as princesses of the King, Jesus Christ, and the adventure He has in store for their lives. They’ll be enjoying fun activities and reflecting on the strength God has given them as His daughters.

The prayer is simple: God, use this weekend to give these young girls a firm understanding of your love for them, their identity in you and the great honor it is to be your daughter. Please establish a foundation in their hearts that is rooted in your love and grace. And prepare them for the amazing lives you have in store for them. Amen!
