Kids on Mission has been going so well!
We have so many new families joining us for a time of discipleship. It's an exciting time in our kid's ministry!
Check-in begins each Wednesday night at 6:05, and we ask students to sit on the stairs until the teachers are ready to receive them. Our hope is that this will allow parents to get to our adult Bible study classes.
Sunbeams and Mission friends will have class in the nursery area and parents are asked to walk them down to their classes.
Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors will go upstairs to rooms 215-218. There will be signs upstairs so you and your children know where to go.
Pickup Information:
- For Older Children (Girls in Action and Royal Ambassadors): They will be seated on the stairs when it's time to pick up, so you do not need to go upstairs.
- For Younger Children (Sunbeams and Mission Friends): Please pick them up directly from their classrooms in the nursery area.

January Note from Pastor Mark |
|
Connected: In Christ + In Community + On Mission
"Please check your connection." Your phone, computer, and even your television depend on a stable internet connection to function-and when it goes out, people go crazy! In today's world, much of life revolves around "on-demand" streaming services.
In a similar way, our spiritual life depends on a constant connection to God's supply - to His grace.
This year, we will explore the ways God provides the grace we need to experience an abundant life. Some people have never established a stable connection, while others struggle with short circuits and unstable connections. God offers an unlimited supply to meet our every need-all we have to do is stay connected!

Byne Kids
This month, the Gospel Project explores the warnings of Jesus. Jesus is the Messiah spoken about by the prophet Zechariah: "Look, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey" (Zechariah 9:9). One day, Jesus will return to earth on a white horse as King over everything.
Big Picture Question: How is Jesus the perfect prophet?
Answer: Jesus perfectly reveals God the Father and fulfills what the prophet spoke.
Sunday School Weekly topics:
January 5: People Welcomed Jesus as King
January 12: Leaders Wanted to Trick Jesus
January 19: Jesus Warned About Not Loving
January 26: Jesus Warned About Not Acting
February 2: Jesus is Our Perfect Prophet
During the 10:45 hour, I'm calling this series "Reset." So often, we go to church when our parents tell us to. We remind our children to say their prayers or talk to God. This month, our children will be challenged to reset their prayer time and reset how they think about God. Sometimes, we have to reset to make sure that our priorities are aligned with the things that please the Lord. We hope you will join us as we Reset and place our focus on Jesus!
Kids On Mission
Wednesday nights are focused on being mission-minded. Our children are learning what sharing the gospel with people worldwide is like. They are seeing pictures, hearing testimonies, and discussing the importance of helping others know God. When children learn to witness to others, they are more confident in sharing their faith. God will use their confidence to bring more people to Him!

Children's Bible Recommendation |
|
|
|
What Bible should I read?
What version will help my children better understand God's word?
What do the red letters mean?
How can I help my children be more excited about reading their Bible?
All of these are great questions so we want to provide you with a great recommendation. We aren't in the book business but we are trying to make every effort to partner with parents to help in training our children in the way they should go. (Proverbs 22:6) The best way we can do this is to model to them how we connect with God on a daily basis.
