🌿🐦 Story Time Recap: "See What God Made!" 🌼🦋
What a wonderful morning of exploring God's amazing creation together!
This week at Story Time, we learned about all the beautiful things God has made. We enjoyed a nature walk where we looked closely at God's handiwork all around us. The children collected nature treasures and used them to create unique works of art.
We also talked about some of the animals, trees, flowers, and other wonderful parts of creation that God made. Then we had fun turning fruit into creative animals, trees, and flowers for a delicious snack!
Along the way, we read stories, sang songs, shared laughs, and celebrated the beauty of God's world together.
Thank you to all the families who joined us! We love watching little hearts discover God's love through His creation.
"God saw all that He had made, and it was very good." — Genesis 1:31

🌟 A Special Milestone for Our 56 Degrees Students 🌟
This past Sunday, we celebrated a meaningful Rite of Passage ceremony for our incoming 5th and 6th grade students as they begin their journey in 56 Degrees!

This special moment marks an important step as these young believers grow in their faith, build deeper friendships, and take on new opportunities to learn, serve, and lead. We are excited to walk alongside them as they discover more about who God created them to be.

Please join us in praying for these students and their families as they enter this new season. May they grow in wisdom, faith, courage, and a love for Jesus that impacts every area of their lives.

💙 Welcome to 56 Degrees! We can't wait to see all God has in store for you this year.

"Let no one look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers..." — 1 Timothy 4:12

Our kids didn’t just show up… they led. 💛
Impact Sunday was such a special day for our Children’s Ministry! Watching our kids lead in worship, prayer, and Scripture was a powerful reminder that God is already working in their hearts in big ways.
We are so proud of each child who stepped up with courage and joy—you made a lasting impact on our church family!
Yesterday also gave us a chance to share how you can be part of what God is doing in the lives of these kids. Every smile at check-in, every lesson taught, every moment spent investing in a child matters more than you know.
If you’ve ever thought about serving in Children’s Ministry, we would love to have you join us. You don’t have to be perfect—you just have to be willing. 💫
Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the day below!

✨ Weekend Plans + Family Time = The Best Memories ✨
Weekends are more than just a break—they’re a chance to slow down, reconnect, and make meaningful moments with the people who matter most. 💛
Whether it’s sharing a meal around the table, heading outside for some fresh air, or simply laughing together at home, every moment counts.
Looking for something meaningful to add to your weekend?
✔️ Pray together as a family
✔️ Read a short Bible story
✔️ Talk about your week—highs and lows
✔️ Invite another family to join you
It doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be intentional.
💬 We’d love to hear from you!
What are your family’s weekend plans?

✨ Parenting Tip: Growing Faith at Home ✨
Faith doesn’t have to be taught in big, complicated moments—it often grows best in the small, everyday ones. 💛
Try this: Make God part of your daily conversations.
Talk about His goodness during dinner, pray together before bedtime, or point out His creation on a walk. These simple habits help kids see that God isn’t just for Sundays—He’s part of every moment.
📖 “These commandments…are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road…” – Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Little moments ➡️ lasting faith

Behind the scenes, so much ministry is happening every single day—and we are incredibly blessed by the hearts who make it all possible. 💙
This week, we celebrate our amazing administrative professionals, Roxann & Deborah! From answering calls and welcoming guests to organizing details, supporting ministries, and keeping everything running smoothly—they serve with kindness, patience, and a spirit of excellence.
Their work may not always be seen, but its impact is felt everywhere. Lives are touched, connections are made, and ministry moves forward because of their dedication.

✨📖 Bible Brains in Action! 🧠✨
What an incredible time in our Children’s Ministry as our 3rd & 4th Grade class went head-to-head with our 56 Degrees class in an exciting Bible Quiz Challenge! 🙌
These kids have been learning and growing all quarter long, and it showed! From Scripture memory to Bible stories, they brought their A-game and filled the room with energy, laughter, and a whole lot of knowledge of God’s Word. 💙
We are so proud of each of them for hiding God’s Word in their hearts and encouraging one another along the way.
📚 “Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.” – Psalm 119:11
Way to go, kids! 👏 Keep growing, keep learning, and keep shining for Jesus! 🌟
