November 24

Thank you for your leadership of the Christmas Eve Offering vote last week! I hope that went well, and I encourage you to contact Patty Groot this week to find out who the chosen recipient was, so you can share that information with your class. Feel free to pass along any feedback about the process as well! 

Elizabeth leads the lesson this week, with Tara and Amy assisting. 

This week, we continue with Week 3 of the Take a Risk series. This unit explores some of the most frightening "What if..." scenarios that we all struggle with, even as adults sometimes. This is meant to be an empowering series, one that helps kids overcome their fears and choose the right thing, even if it's not easy. 

Here is an overview of the next few weeks:

October 27 - What if I Don't Like It?
November 3 - Stewardship Lesson
November 10 - What if I Fail?
November 17 - Christmas Eve Offering vote
November 24 - What if I Give Up?
December 1 - What if I Get Hurt?

Here's this week's lesson link:

What if I Give Up?

Spring 2014 Plans

The staff and Children's Ministry Team at Christ Church cannot thank you enough for your leadership in Children's Ministries this fall. Your love for the children and desire to teach them about faith has an eternal impact.

You committed to lead from August 18-December 29 of this year. What are your plans for Spring 2014 (January 5-May 25)? You get first dibs! We would love for you to continue leading your group thru the end of the year.

Please e-mail Cindy Bagley this week to say either, "Sign me up for spring!" or "My last day is December 29."

Thank you!
