Leadership Development Ideas

If you missed the Spiritual Growth Chart workshop, then we missed you! It was a wonderful afternoon with Dr. Cathy Stonehouse, where we learned a lot about children's spiritual development and a tool to engage children in worship.

If you have an idea for another workshop topic that would be useful in your ministry area, such as behavior, curriculum planning, or just your own spiritual development as leaders, please send those ideas to Mark Rosenthal (mzr0004@gmail.com), chair of the Children's Ministry Team!

Curriculum

The next two weeks will be spent on two lessons out of a unit entitled What's the Big Deal About Sin? This is an appropriate precursor for Easter, and after celebrating Jesus' work of Resurrection, we'll continue into a unit on forgiveness.

March 22 - Build Walls in Fellowship Hall

This Sunday, all children's groups are invited to make a field trip to Fellowship Hall during the 10:05 am hour to autograph and add Scriptures & prayers to the boards that will be used in our upcoming build at Henderson Settlement.

Kids under the age of middle school will not be permitted to use real tools for safety reasons, but they are welcome to watch others and color all over those boards!

Here is the note about this opportunity from our Outreach & Justice Team:

The Henderson Team will be available to help the kids/families sign 2 X 4’s in the Fellowship Hall all morning on March 22. These walls will be used in the addition for the Griffin family of 8 who currently lives in a 14 X 70 trailer. We hope the kids will be able to join us and please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks so much!
