Children’s Ministries THE NEW “AWANA” YEAR is in full swing, but there is still time to

get your kids registered. Just bring them out THIS Wednesday @ 6:15 PM

and get them signed up so they can start memorizing Scripture and grow in

the application of the Word to their own lives!

LOVING CHILDREN—“Let the little children come to Me, and don't stop

them…” Jesus said. He was “blessed” by them! God, help us see children

as a blessing from You! When we do, we’ll make them a priority, in our

ministry, as a Church! Please pray about these needs:

Ministry Values: The Elders have determined, after much prayer and searching of the Scrip-

tures, that the following are our “Ministry Values”:

That Our Community of Believers… 1. Live each day in a way that brings glory to God. 2. Love God wholeheartedly; worshipping him daily in spirit,

truth and humility.

3. Love others selflessly; assuming responsibility to deal with personal sin, resolve conflict, and restore wounded relationships.

4. Reads, studies, and memorizes the Word of God regularly.

5. Witness faithfully in word and deed as the Spirit of God

leads. 6. Mature as disciples of Christ in personal spiritual develop-

ment. 7. Pursue fruitfulness in ministry utilizing spiritual gifts,

training, oversight & support. 8. Serve widows, orphans and others; meeting their physical

and spiritual needs. 9. Spur each other toward spiritual growth including active

small group participation & accountability. 10. Equip and support each other in building healthy marriag-

es and training up children of Godly character. 11. Pray without ceasing. 12. Live generous lives as faithful stewards of God's resources.
