Hey everybody-I am so excited to see how much children are learning and growing in their faith. They are all responding well to this new series Pair o' Bulls ( parables) these are earthly stories that have a heavenly meaning! I love to see children engaged in worship time wether it is twirling around to the song or closing their eyes to worship... it is just too precious. We just learned about the Lost sheep- and of course since on valentines day how appropriate to talk about how Jesus ( the sheppard) left all the others just to go find the one sheep (people) who was lost. Jesus wants us to give him our hearts and not be lost from him! Children were told that they give Jesus their heart when they are living for God and have asked Jesus to come and be a part of their life. Well, Isaiah D, age five claims "he did that a thousand years ago"! I have they best job in the world! This week we are learning the parable of the Sower!

Dates you may want to Know:

Tonight: the african children's choir will be performing at 7 PM

March 1st: Summer Splash Water stories of the Bible registration will begin. Brochures will be available then. We look forward to a fun-filled, "son"-filled summer. Each friday of camp includes inflatable waterslide fun and a weekly relevant field trip in addition to standard VBS format of craft, Bible story, snacks, games, etc. These spaces will fill fast as there is limited enrollment. Some scholarships are available.

I hope your week is blessed and as always you and your familiy are in my prayers. Kendra
