January 2012

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that 2012 is off to a good start!

After all of the presents are unwrapped and we start to put away the decorations, there is one present we hope stays in your heart throughout the year. The gift of Jesus at Christmas does not have to be a gift we unwrap and put among the other presents. Many of those are used once or twice before they lose their magic. For many of us, after Christmas is over, Jesus, like the wrapping paper, lights and decorations, is hidden away until next year.

You don’t have to have decorations, lights and presents to remember the spirit of Christmas and the greatest gift, a gift that continues to be valuable and new every day. Jesus came to us, living among us, that we might know life to the fullest.

We are blessed to be part of your life and continue to give thanks in this New Year for your children and the Pigtown community. This New Year, make your resolution to unwrap the present of Jesus everyday! Unlike other presents we have received, He requires no batteries, He is faithful, never breaking down or wearing out. There is no need to purchase the upgraded model, simply unwrap Christ, inviting Him into your life, and watch the blessings overflow.

In Christ,

The Power House Youth Team

January Topics

This month we will be looking at different pictures of God. We can’t take a picture of God with a camera, but we can use the Bible to understand what God is like. Hopefully by the end we will have a clearer picture of God that we can show people we meet. Join us for these great lessons!

1/1 New Year’s Resolutions
1/8 Pictures of God- God is like a Rock
1/15 God is like an Artist
1/22 God is like a Roommate
1/29 God is like a Gift

Be sure to share with the kids in their crafts they’ll be making each week.

Church News

Twinkling lights, wrapping paper, Santa Clause and elves, singing carols, shopping and decorated trees. This time of year, all of those things are on the top of our minds. They all tell us that the Christmas season is here!

This month at Kid’s Church we invite you to hear the story of the manager. A baby, born among the animals, visited by wise men and shepherds and even angels. A baby born to be our Savior, a gift from God. We will have a great time hearing the story and making crafts that help us remember the true meaning of Christmas.

December is a super busy time for everyone and there are many great activities happening at the Power House. Everyone is invited to our annual Kid’s Church Christmas Party! We will have a great time playing games, making crafts and eating cookies! We would love to share this Christmas celebration with your entire family. So bring the kids and help us celebrate the coming of Jesus.

Among all of the lights, presents and decorations, let’s not forget to make room for a manger and a baby who brings the Good News of God’s love for each of us! Merry Christmas!

In Christ,

The Power House Youth Team
