Kids Happenings September 2018
Hello church family,
Wow we had an amazing end of July and August in the life of our children’s ministry! Kids Camp was so incredible. By the end of the week we had 5 extremely exhausted adults (Pastor Bryan Gotcher, Jacob Townsend, Leah Ice, Mary Beth Potts and myself) and 26 kids encouraged and ready to live a life that grows them closer to our Lord. Oh and of course they were pretty tired too. The worship was high energy and uplifting for all involved. And the teaching Pastor had so much passion for the children learning truth and delivered the message in such a way that young and old can be moved to respond. I’m so thankful that we have a church family that invest in our children and helps to allow them to attend Kids Camp each summer. It truly does help to make a difference in these young ones lives and in the life of our ministry.
With response to the Holy Spirit, through VBS, Kids Camp and superb parenting we had nine children follow in baptism during the month of August. Now that is a reason to CELEBRATE! Praise God for these professions of faith. I can’t wait to see what plans God has in store for these young lives and their future as they go into the world proclaiming the Good News.
I would like to give a shout out to all of our new Sunday morning Kids Life Group teachers. Promotion Sunday and the weeks that followed, transitioned smoothly. I am very thankful for all of you and your willingness to invest in our children each Sunday morning. Also, we were able to fill most of our AWANA teaching needs and have a solid group of adults ready to disciple our children each Wednesday evening starting September 5th at 6pm. If your child isn’t already planning to attend AWANA on Wednesday evenings, I would like to strongly encourage you to allow your child to try it out. Children are discipled by faithful & loving leaders and learn scripture in fun ways helping them to understand and apply it in their daily walk. For more information about AWANA go to www.oakhillbc.org/ministries/kids.
