Children's Ministries 02/08/09

The Children’s Sunday School lessons for February 8th come from Matthew 25:14-29. The children will learn that Jesus told many stories. One of these stories was the parable of the talents. After Sunday School, ask your child what the “talents” were.

This week’s stewardship lesson for children focuses on “our presence.” Each week in February the children will put a sticker on a classroom attendance chart, tracking their presence.
God gives us time. The children will learn that we need to give some of that time back to God. Discuss with your child, “How do we tithe our time to God?”

Summer Church Camp
The camp schedules are out! It’s time to plan your church camps dates NOW, before your summer calendar fills up. You can pick up a brochure on the bulletin board outside Sondra’s office, room 212. You can also go on-line to check out the dates www.mocamps.org. To register on-line you need a Church Camp Code from Sondra Buell for the voucher . . . LUMC to pay ½ the camp fee, up to $125.00 for members’ children. Let’s go to camp!!!!

Veggie-Tales Party
Hey kids, on Monday, February 16, LPS has no school, so we invite you to a Veggie-Tales Party with Abe and the Amazing Promise! Meet Ms. Sondra in Wesley Hall at 10:00 am. We’ll be finished by noon. We’ll play some games, hear the Bible Story, eat some awesome snacks and watch the movie.
We’ll witness Bob the Tomato trying to bring the story of Abraham and Sarah to life, and learn of their wait for a promised son. We’ll see how their patience is tested when spitting camels and a film crew of zany French peas get involved. But whether we’re waiting on a promise from God or cookies from teachers or parents, we’ll learn that while being patient is never easy, the reward is always worth the wait!

This afternoon the HIS Kids children will be singing at the Love Inc. Concert of Concerts, held at 2nd Baptist Church at 3:00 pm. Come and listen to them sing - Everyone is invited!

Kids Bulletins and Kids Worship Bags are available for your children during worship. After worship, please put the bags in the “Used Worship Bags” tubs so we can refresh and refill them before next Sunday.
