In today’s culture “truth” is at best elusive, and a matter of everyone’s opinion. Praise God that He reveals Himself to us in His Word as THE ONE AND ONLY GOD. Who never changes, is Sovereign and Holy. The One and Only God who died for us and will come back to take us to be with Him forever. God who has the power to keep His Own and He invites us into personal relationship with HIM!! How totally awesome is that!

Believing God.

Pastor Karon,

ONE Month to Celebrate started off with a Bang!

This Sunday Kidz Zone learned about living:

1. The Abundant Life God wants us to live. John 10:10 Here we stuck our finger in a glass of water then removed it,,, look no change in the water, God made us to make a difference in our world,, like putting our finger into putty to leave a mark, God designed us to leave a legacy in our world.

2. We are designed to do Great Things. Hebrews 12:1  Just consider our awesome our bodies are made!! GOD made this great body Ready to GO! Then He gave us the Bible to clearly mark the path He designed for us.

3. We are Designed for A Purpose. Ephesians 2:10 & John 15:16  We looked at some beautiful pictures, with a hole cut out in the center of the page. Each hole was the same size,, to discover: God has a beautiful individual plan for each of us. We may look alike on the outside, we may fit into other pictures but… but each of us are designed to fit PERFECTLY into the Plan GOD made for us, and only we can complete THAT plan.

Parents please read the Bible Book Marks with Your Child; these 3-5 minute daily Bible verses are to restate what we learned, help them to remember and meditate on what God has for us, and to open times of sharing with your child.   Help your child bring them back to church for points and rewards.

Pre-school Aged Classes took a “trip” just like Joseph, Mary, and little Jesus did, we learned that God cares for us and protects us, He gives us families to care for us.

Awana Calendar

Junior Bible Quiz Engages kids from kindergarten through 6th grade in daily memorization and repetition of Bible verses and truths. The 576 questions (of various degrees of difficulty) include the proof scriptures for all of our major doctrines. They cover the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Kids who are involved with their parents for at least 4 years become so well grounded in truth that they defy the trends in American churches (including Assemblies of God). They remain in church after leaving High School.

JBQ takes advantage of the two greatest motivational triggers in children of this age group.

1. JBQ is fun! Kids love interaction with other churches. They love the camaraderie of a team. They grow together as their leaders pray with them and explain spiritual truths day by day.
2. JBQ is competition in a Godly atmosphere. Every day of their lives from cradle to grave they will be involved in competition: in school, on the job, everywhere they turn they must compete to survive. At this age they love it. What better time to teach them Christian values in actual competition. It really works! Many of the most intense competitors on opposite teams become closest of friends after quizzing is finished each month

JBQ Parent Meeting – September 13, 9:45 AM

Anyone 1st – 6th Grade can participate in JBQ

Cost: $20, includes registration and t-shirt

JBQ will meet every Sunday at 9:30 AM beginning September 20

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!!

***Wear your Christmas outfits for the play.  Keep practicing!***

Dear parents,

The 1st Sunday of each month our children join hands with our missionaries as they bring their BGMC offerings. This money goes to provide all the vital materials for children’s ministry around the world. SAVE a child, save a family, save the world.    You are making the difference for eternity.

This month let’s give a little extra as a birthday present to Jesus. 

Pastor Karon

Parents, we will have our Baby Parade December 14th  to start our Christmas Presentation.  Please dress your infant in their Christmas Outfit and if you would, be available to carry your child in this wonderful parade.  We will briefly introduce each child to Living Hope Church which will be the perfect time for a snap shot or two. Then they will be returning to the nursery for the remainder of the service.

WEE CHURCH SINGING! – Right After the Baby Parade

Our Wee Church be singing their “tunes” right after the Baby Parade on December 14th.  We need to be “spiffy” and ready to sing. Please make sure we get a good night’s sleep and a great breakfast.  Definitely have the movie cameras ready for this!   They are going to be so cute!!
