For our families with children

If you have children, we have several offerings for all ages.

On Sunday mornings, volunteers are available in the nursery for children up to age 3. A room is available for nursing mothers, too. Both rooms are located next to the Sanctuary near the west entrance.

Children ages 3-5 who are potty-trained can attend Wee Worship in the northeast classroom. Wee Worship offers playtime and learning activities.

Children in school up to age 12 can attend Children's Church. Children's Church offers lessons that reinforce Biblical values and principles. Children's Church is in the room next to the Library.

Once a month, we have a Family Sunday when children stay in the sanctuary with their family.

Prayer Cards

The children’s ministries has made prayer cards for every child/teen in our church. We would like to spread “Love and Prayers” to this age group for several weeks. If you returned your card from last week, put it in the basket on the welcome center and choose another card for this week. If you did not get one last week, take a card this morning, keep the card all week and pray for the individual. Bring the card back next week swap for another card. If you are absent from church, you can call the office and Debbie will text you a picture of a card and sign your name to the back. Let’s keep these cards circulating through the church so that we can spread “Love and Prayers” for every child.

Alabaster Offering

The Alabaster Offering Church will be out at the Welcome Center during February.

February Fellowship Dinner

There will be a fellowship dinner February 23 after our morning worship service. It will have a soup/salad theme. Sign-up sheets are available in the foyer.

This Weeks’ Message

"Final Reason to Live"

Scripture: Luke 2:25-32

25 And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord''s Christ. 27 So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, 28 he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said:

29 "Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace,

According to Your word;

30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation

31 Which You have prepared before the face of all peoples,

32 A light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,

And the glory of Your people Israel."

Sermon Notes:
