Children & Youth Ministries Weekly Update

Come celebrate the amazing gift of the Holy Spirit

by wearing red or orange to worship this Sunday, May 19.

Prayer Gathering Tonight

Wednesday, May 15

6:30-7:30PM

Sanctuary

Childcare provided.

 

You are invited to come and pray with us for the upcoming season of our ministry and witness. We will gather in the Sanctuary and pray for Vacation Bible School, High School Work Camp to Mexico, Middle School Bike Hike, Guys and Kids Campout, Local and International Ministry partners, and more. We believe that under-girding all that we do with prayer is essential to our Gospel impact. Please join us.

K2 Live

Our kids and families celebrated another successful year at K2 Live! We graduated our amazing 5th graders and said thank you to all of the volunteers for their time and families for allowing us to spend Wednesday nights with their elementary school students. We are already looking forward to the fall!

MOPS is now Columbia MomCo!

Columbia MOPS wrapped up their first year together with prayer, lots of flowers, lots of laughs and maybe even a few tears. MOPS has rebranded, and the registration for 2024-2025 Columbia MomCo has opened! We are limited by the amount of childcare we can provide, and are already over half-full, so register today to save your spot!

All Things VBS!

Registration for VBS opens on Tuesday, May 28th!


To volunteer, get more information on take-home decoration kits, or to hear other ways you can help, email Tifny!

We need your lids! 

A variety of sizes is great; jar lids, paint can lids, bottle lids...ANY LIDS! Trying to create a few large, colorful sea animals! You can place them in the bin in the Gathering Area marked “VBS”

Flowers for the Women We Love

On May 12, flowers were in the Gathering Area for not only mothers, but for all the women at worship, as well as the special women who we hold in our hearts. We offered roses as a way to remember those women we love, and all were encouraged to take one. As Pastor Matt said, “This is a day that grief and joy can be mingled together.” 

What are your kids learning?

Sunday School

 

Pre-K

This month's preschool lesson is titled, God is the Real Treasure, based on Matthew 6:21.
