Advent season is upon us! This is a time of year when our elementary kids lead us in scripture, song, and worship as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus, while also remembering God's promise that Jesus will come again.
Please make note of the following details, times, and dates as we move closer to the beginning of advent:
- Wednesday, November 18 is our final opportunity to rehearse our song with Ms. Carolyn. Please do your best to ensure your children are present for programming that evening.
- The kids will sing during Hanging of the Greens on December 2nd. Attire is dark pants, solid colored shirt, and close-toed shoes. Children will wear gold robes for the service. Call time is 4:30pm.
- The kids will sing again during Night of Hope on December 9. Attire is "Christmas Best." Call time is 4:30pm.
- You can find our song, "Joy" in the Perdido Bay Kids! playlist linked at the top of the newsletter.

Veteran's Day: No Programming!
| | | |
November is the perfect month for us to pause and focus on gratitude and thanksgiving through THE GREAT GRATITUDE CHALLENGE - Thanking God for every good thing. We’ll start by remembering all the amazing good gifts that God has already given to us—and how we always have something to be grateful for. We’ll also dig into what it means to have a heart of gratitude and to regularly express our thanks to God. | | | | THIS WEEK WITH PERDIDO BAY KIDS! | |
