Hello Grace Kids Families!

It has been such a blessing seeing how God has worked in the lives of Grace Kids on Sunday mornings, and during each of the camps we have offered this summer. More than 25 children have accepted Christ as Savior. Other children have grown in their faith, engaged more deeply in worship and over 300 children have had a lot of fun! Thank you, parents, for the many ways you have supported children’s ministry all summer!

I am thrilled to announce that Grace Kids has a complete team in place! Please join me in welcoming Joey Chapman as our new Volunteer Coordinator. Joey has recently moved to Austin from Oregon. He and his wife, Kamrie, are expecting their first child in February.  

Joey is a former basketball coach and athletic director. He is sensing the Lord’s call into ministry and is looking forward to serving with Grace Kids and using his skill for galvanizing to recruit, grow and train our volunteer base in children’s ministry. I know you will enjoy engaging with him. He loves the Lord and he loves people! Sunday, Aug. 6 will be his first Sunday on the team. Please say “hello” and give him a warm welcome when you see him.

As a reminder, this Sunday, Aug. 6 is the end of Summer Serve. If the Lord is prompting you to serve this school year with Grace Kids, please complete the application on the link below.

Grace Kids School Year Volunteer Training is scheduled for this Sunday, Aug. 6 from 12:15-2:15 p.m. We will provide childcare and lunch during the training, so please sign up to attend if you will be serving this school year. Training will not be a repeat of previous years – please join us!

Our team is praying for your children as they start a new school year and as they promote to new classes here at church. Please pray with us, asking the Lord to supply two adults in every classroom and requesting that each Grace Kid will come to accept Jesus and become more like Christ in all of life. We are here for you. Please let us know if and how we can pray for you. 

If your child received Christ this summer, we will be reaching out to set up a time to talk to them about baptism. If your child has accepted Christ at some point in the past and is ready to be baptized, please reach out to gracekids@grace360.org. Our next children’s baptism will be at our Fall Family Worship Night on Sunday, Sept. 10 from 4:30-6 p.m.

See you this Sunday in your green Grace Kids shirts!

In His service,

Donna Brady

Children's Director, Grace Kids

Grace Kids Lost and Found

As our summer draws to a close, we are ready to start a fresh new school year at Grace! Please check the Cornerstone and Live Oak lost and found areas this Sunday for any items you may have left behind. We will donate all remaining items next week.

Kinder Camp

Thursday, Aug. 10, 9 a.m. - noon

Children entering kindergarten are invited to join us for a fun time at Grace! Kinder Camp is designed to give incoming kindergartners an opportunity to see what Grace Kids is like as they move into our Elementary Ministry. They'll get to know Mrs. Bri, explore the Live Oak building and have plenty of fun along the way. Have your child bring or wear a swimsuit, and don't forget the towel! This is a drop-off event. A light snack will be provided.

The last day to register for Kinder Camp is this Thursday, Aug. 3.

Promotion Sunday for all Grace Kids is Sunday, Aug. 13. Please pay special attention to your child's assigned classroom on that day as we move into a new school year at Grace.
