Happy Valentines Month

The Month of February is known as heart healthy month. That theme is also echoed in Kidz Zone.
In January we reflected about how our toys can remind us of God’s goodness, this month we are touching [and tasting] the theme of how our candy can remind us about God’s goodness.

Along with these thoughts we are also repeating our church’s theme, “Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God.“  and the month’s emphasis that “no illness is to difficult for GOD“.

Feb 1st we focused on the country of France and BGMC. Do you know only 5 out of 100 people in France have ever touched a Bible, and it is illegal to hand out Bibles on the streets? Our missionaries need our prayers and support NOW!  This country is spiritually sick and God’s love and salvation is the only thing that can truly heal them.

Feb 8th the focus was on Samson and guarding our hearts against repaying evil for evil to anyone, Romans 12:17. When we allow revenge to remain in our hearts we become spiritually blind to who we are hurting,  and our hearts continuing to get harder and harder, only God’s powerful Word can heal our hearts of the hurts and rock hard feelings blocking our relationship with the Lord and others.   Bubbles, balloons and foam were used to show how we use God’s Word to clean out our hearts.

Feb 15th  In spite of our culture’s attention on children and promoting their well being, many children still struggle with personal feelings of insignificance. Exploring Philippians 4:13. God’s love and attention to our lives makes us significant and a vital part of sharing God with our friends.

Feb 22nd is pointing our focus off of our surroundings and  back on God, His glory, His Almighty Power, His Never-ending Sovereignty.  Yes! Our God is bigger, better, stronger, than any idol or any thing this world could ever give us. As we go through life, it is how we go through stuff that shows others God is real and He will do what He said He would do.

Kids Fine Arts practices are rolling along great! Checkout the long list of categories to see what your child would like to participate in.  I need your child’s application by March 1st

God’s Blessings!!
