Pastor’s Notes
Hello!
The snow and cold have certainly left no question as to the fact that winter is here.
In just a couple of weeks it will be Valentine’s Day. I encourage you to take some time with your child that day to let them know how much you love them and how important they are to you.
It’s also important for kids to know about God’s love for them. Thank you for letting us be a part of sharing that love with your child at Kids’ Church. Please make sure they continue to come as often as possible so that they can become strong in His love.
We continue to be honored by your trust in us. Thank you for blessing us with your children.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff Anderson

Pastor’s Notes
Hello!
And Happy New Year! May 2011 bring you a new hope and joy in all areas of your life.
As we look to the New Year I want to encourage you to step up your commitment to Christ in 2011. Keep encouraging your child’s spiritual development and participation in church activities. At the same time, take the opportunities you have to learn, worship, and fellowship with your child in a Christian environment.
You’ll want to note that between now and Easter we’ll be reviewing events in the life of Jesus during the Kids’ Church time. This provides a great opportunity you to talk about those stories and your own faith with your child.
Thank you for your continued trust in us. We pledge our focused attention on your child’s spiritual development in 2011.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeff Anderson
