Grace Kids Information

I recently was sent an email about The Jesus Storybook Bible facebook page.  You can go to this page and view a story being read from The Jesus Storybook Bible with pictures from the book as well:  http://www.facebook.com/JesusStorybookBible  We have used The Jesus Storybook Bible in the past during Children's worship.  A great Bible to introduce to your preschoolers and older.   We have copies available at the resource table at church if you are interested. 

Coming Soon - Family Worship Night - Saturday, September 17th at 6:00 PM. 

Our next Family Worship Night will be on Saturday, September 17^th at New Hanover Presbyterian Church beginning at 6:00pm.  (Please note that this is a new night and location from previous Family Worship Nights.)  We will sing Grace Kids Worship songs and also enjoy a skit.  Our time together will end with ice cream sundaes!  If you’d like to come, please RSVP to Tracy Surratt at RSVP2Tracy@yahoo.com by September 14 so we can have enough ice cream & toppings for everyone!

Children's Worship Update

Just a reminder that each week we ask one group their catechism questions.  We rotate between the preschool and elementary class.  Today we had a chance to ask both classes and will begin next week with PRESCHOOL. Your child should have brought home a catechism slip indicating the number they worked on during children's worship this morning.  We are excited to see the growth in the children and their ability to recite the catechisms.  Ultimately we want them to understand the Bible truths they are saying.  A great cd available for you at the Resource Table is the Ask Me Whooo cd.  You can check it out at http://askmewhooo.com/

Offering - We do collect an offering during children's worship.  We begin in a large circle and sing Jesus Loves Me while we pass the basket around the children.  We share with the children that the offering goes into the church offering.  I have been trying to work with John and Ruthie on remembering to take some of their own money to add to the offering.  There are so many things to remember on a Sunday morning with Grace Kids Backpacks, catechism books, sippy cup for Ben, etc, but I am trying to help them remember to take some coins from their piggy banks to give to the church.
