Children & Youth Ministries Weekly Update

Thankful

We are so grateful for the families that God brings to this church, and for the opportunity to walk through life together. Praying for safe travels, warm memories and peaceful homes.

We are really looking forward to kicking off the Christmas Season with our Spaghetti Dinner and wreath making. If you want to join and haven’t yet signed up, please do so soon as we have a limited number of supplies! Download the Christmas Flyer here and feel free to send it to others!

Bible Sunday

We entrusted the Gospel to ten young children during the Children’s Message on Bible Sunday this past weekend. If your child is in second grade or older and has not yet received a Bible from Columbia Presbyterian, please let Tifny know.  

Minecraft Club

Dirk VanderMerwe led ten kids in a Minecraft Bible Adventure. We can’t wait for the next one! Thank you to the dads who stayed to help out!

MOPS Reminder: No Meeting this Week.

Our next meeting will be December 13. Enjoy the holiday!
