Pastor’s Notes

Hello!

This is an exciting time of year at Kids’ Church. During this season, we meet many kids who have moved to the area during the winter. Now that the weather is nicer and they’re outside more, they discover The Power House and start participating in Kids’ Church each Sunday.

Have you noticed any new kids on your block in recent weeks? Or maybe you’ve noticed some kids that have been there a while but are now old enough for Kids’ Church. Please be sure to invite them to come to church with your own kids. It’s a great way to make new friendships and share in growing in faith together.

Thank you again for your having your child be a part of The Power House. They are truly a blessing to us.

In Christ,

Pastor Jeff Anderson

Graduation

We have several kids who are in 8th grade and will soon be too old to participate in Kids’ Church. We’ll miss them on Sunday afternoons but are glad to continue to see them at other Power House activities throughout the week.

May’s Topics

We continue this month with our study of the life of Jesus:

5/1 Jesus on the Road to Emmaus
5/8 Mothers Day
5/15 Jesus and Thomas
5/22 Jesus Appears on the Shore
5/29 Jesus and Peter

Be sure to ask you kids about these stories and see the crafts they’ll be making each week.

Peace Pavilion

If your son or daughter is currently in first, third, or fifth grade at School 34, then they’ve probably been participating in the Pigtown Peace Pavilion at The Power House this year. Their classes have been coming over to the church to learn about peacemaking.



I hope the kids have been sharing stories from their experiences with you. Please let the teachers and principals at School 34 know of your support for this work so we can continue to do so in the future.
