Valentine's Day Outreach

Hi, Parents & JesusKidz!

It was such a blessing to see the response from parents and church members in general to the Valentine's Day outreach today. The pastoral staff would like to express our appreciation to all of you for giving sacrificially all the candy, helping us bag them, and then joining us to pass it out. We ended up going to four busy shopping areas thanks to our church family: the mall, Publix shopping plaza, Wal-mart, and the shopping plaza in East Palatka.

I was amazed to see the look of surprise on the faces of some of the people who graciously accepted the candy and ALM cards. But most of all, I think the kids were so thrilled to be helping the grown-ups pass them out. God is already giving us ideas for making our next outreach even more effective.

Thanks again to our church family for pitching in, especially the young people who were working right alongside the adults to bag and tie the candy. All God's blessings for such an awesome response from everyone.

Talk to you all soon...

Upcoming Event

We're so excited about what's going down this Sunday, February 14th, Valentine's Day! After service, the entire church has been invited to accompany JesusKidz to the mall for just a few minutes to pass out candy. Parents, please remember to bring bags of individually-wrapped candy that will be easy to bag. Also, we might want to check out the weather just in case it's really cold, so you can dress your children accordingly. We're believing God for favorable weather conditions so that our first outreach of the year is a memorable one for our children's ministry. It might not be such a big deal to some that they'll be passing out candy, but no act of kindness escapes the Father's heart.

Contact staff at the church if you have any questions, or if you want to bring candy after Wednesday, Feb. 10th. Thanks for all your support.

Talk to you soon...

JesusKidz Growing in the Lord

Hey, Parents and JesusKidz!

It's an exciting time to be a JesusKid. I know that because God is no respector of persons, and He wants a personal relationship with everyone. No boy or girl is too young to hear His voice and to be touched by Him. Last Wednesday night during praise and worship, we witnessed His power move among parents and children in such a way that it encouraged the teachers at ALM to keep sharing God's Word with a real purpose.

This Sunday, JesusKidz ages 8-12 were challenged to spend time in the Word during the week, finding verses they could memorize NOT because they want to compete with other kids, but because they want to begin to hide the Word in their hearts so He can become real to them on a daily basis.

Parents, in your family worship time, please share with your kids verses they can memorize that they can share with their peers and teachers weekly. Now more than ever before, we need to train them up in God's Word so that they can be the warriors He will use in this end-time harvest.

Talk to you soon...
