On Wednesday, our kids learned about how creative God is! We talked about how God created all kinds of amazing things and creatures, including dinosaurs. 🦖

We explored how every creature has different characteristics and is uniquely designed by God. Then the kids got to put their creativity to work and design their very own dinosaurs! 🎨

We love learning about God’s incredible creation and seeing the creativity He has given each of our kids! 💚

👀 Sneak a peek into our Preschool Children’s Church!

This week, we learned that God made each and every one of us in His image! 💕 The kids got to explore what makes them special and created fingerprint crafts to remind us that we are each uniquely made by God.

We love watching our little ones learn, create, and grow in their faith! 🥰

Today our kids got creative as we got ready to welcome our CLC students back to school! They made posters for our church staff to use as we greet our CLC students on their first days back. 💙✏️

We also had some fun drawing Days 1–6 of Creation! 🌎☀️🌙🐟🦁👫

We love watching our kids learn, create, serve, and share God’s love in such fun ways! We can’t wait to welcome everyone back! 💙🙏🏼

Good Afternoon, church family!

We hope all of our teachers, students, and school staff have the BEST first day back! 📚✏️ We are praying for a wonderful school year filled with learning, growth, new friendships, and God’s blessings.

This Sunday we are so excited to launch our new children’s ministry classes, but we need YOU! ❤️

It takes our whole church family to create a safe, welcoming, and faith-filled environment where our children can learn about God’s love. We are looking for both adults and youth volunteers to help serve our children on Sunday mornings.

Youth are welcome to serve as helpers with these age requirements:
✨ Preschool helpers: 12 years or older
✨ Elementary helpers: 15 years or older

Whether you can serve every week or help when you’re available, we need you! Your time, presence, and encouragement make a huge difference in the lives of our children.

Please sign up using the SignUpGenius link below and help us make this ministry possible! Thank you for investing in the next generation and being the hands and feet of Jesus.

📚✏️ Happy First Day of School! 🍎💙

Today we pray that every child knows they are deeply loved by God, walks with confidence, and finds kindness wherever they go.

May God give our students courage to learn, strength to do their best, and hearts that shine with His love. We also lift up every teacher, administrator, staff member, and parent as they begin a new school year.

Remember, wherever you go today, God goes with you.

“So be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9

We are praying for each of you and can’t wait to hear about your first day! ❤️📚

What a wonderful way to wrap up our Bible & VeggieTales Summer! 🍅📖

This summer, our children explored the big story of the Bible through four important parts: Creation, God’s People and Promises, the Story of Jesus, and the Church and God’s Ongoing Promises.

As we ended our summer together, we looked at the book of Revelation and were reminded that God’s story is not finished. Revelation gives us hope that one day God will make all things new, and that we have the promise of eternity with God in glory.

As we begin a new school year, we pray our children carry with them the truth that they are part of God’s story—a story filled with love, grace, hope, and the promise that God is always with them.

Thank you for joining us this summer as we learned, laughed, and grew together in faith! ❤️
