Children & Youth Ministries Weekly Update

A Deep Dive

We started our sermon series on Revelation this past weekend. 


"Friends, the point of Chapter 1 in Revelation is clear, in that whatever else follows, the story remains the same. This is the same Jesus, the same Lord, the same Gospel that involves life and death and resurrection. Do not take your eye off that ball this summer and don’t let anyone else take it from you. This book is about the Jesus we already know. Do not be afraid."

~Pastor Matt Overton (Click here to listen to the sermon on Spotify or watch the whole service here.)

A graph that compares statements from Genesis with statements in Revelation.

As we venture into Revelation together, here is a great illustration from The Radical Book for Kids by Champ Thronton. Use it as a starting point or a family reference as we work our way through this book as a church body this summer. We are excited to study this book of hope together.


Reminder: No Sunday School on June 16!



5th Grade Promotion

This past Sunday we acknowledged and prayed for our 5th graders moving on from Children’s Ministry and into our Youth program!  

5th Graders and their parents stand in front of the congregation during Sunday worship.

THANK YOU

YOUTH VOLUNTEERS!

Our appreciation breakfast did not disappoint. Thank you to all of those who brought food to make our breakfast extra special and delicious. It was a wonderful morning.
