Grace Kids Ministry Update

Where did the time go??? On to a new year and many exciting events planned for Grace Kids Ministry.  We are looking forward to the kick off for our Grace Kids Club with a swimming event next Saturday, January 15th from 6:45 pm - 8:15 pm at Burkwood.  Grace Kids Club is a new group formed for our Elementary age kids and their friends.  We hope you can come out and make a splash!  Plan to come and invite your friends! Cost is only $5/family.

Children's Worship Update
(For children 4 years old - 2nd grade)
We are starting back up this coming Sunday with teaching the catechisms during our children's worship time (A time when children leave during the corporate worship service).  The preschool group will begin with catechism #9 - What is God? God is a Spirit and does not have a body like men. The elementary group (Kindergarten - 2nd grade) will begin with catechism #23 - What covenant did God make with Adam?  The covenant of life.  We will begin asking the Elementary kids their catechisms this week.  If time allows we will also start with the preschool class.  We will mark off in their children's worship journals the catechism questions they have learned and send home a slip of paper as well to indicate what they answered during class.  Thanks for all your support with working on their catechisms with them at home.  This is so much more than rote memorization for the kids.  Through learning these catechisms our prayer is that the children will come to know and love God.
