PATRIOTIC CELEBRATION

Join us on Wednesday, June 29, at 6:30 pm

for our annual Patriotic Celebration! We

will celebrate Independence Day with

patriotic music, message, hotdogs, desserts

and fireworks. The church will provide

hotdogs, chili, buns, condiments and paper

products. Please bring side dishes, drinks

and desserts.

19th Year Church Anniversary Celebration at

Sadlers Creek State Park June 5

We have reserved the pavilion for the day. Your family is welcome to go out any time after church that

Sunday. We will eat dinner together that evening. The church will provide the hotdogs, hamburgers, chili, buns and paper products. Please bring side

dishes, trimmings, desserts and drinks. There is a sign-up sheet on the bulletin board

in the front hallway.

Children’s News Director: Kim Shore

Helping Kids Find Their Worth in Jesus: The self-esteem

movement has slowed, with experts now emphasizing

the importance of failure and risk-taking. But healthy self

-esteem is still a positive trait. Children who feel good

about themselves tend to be responsible, tolerate frus-

tration, accept challenges, and work happily alone. By

contrast, those with low self-esteem are more likely to

feel insecure, blame others for personal weaknesses,

make self-demeaning comments, be easily influenced,

and avoid anxiety-producing situations. Self-esteem

based on other people’s view of us or their praise may

waver from day to day. Yet God’s view of us remains

constant. For children to have a Christian self-concept,

they must see themselves as God does: as his beloved

children. Help your kids root their worth not in looks or

performance but in their relationship with Jesus.

1 -Let children know that God loves and values them.

Remind them that Jesus died for their sins so they can

go to heaven with him.

2 - Celebrate each child’s God-given strengths. Instead

of praising your kids all the time, thank God for giving

them talents to serve him.

3 - Teach children to accept failure. When problems

arise, don’t jump in to save the day. Pray for guidance

together, and remind kids that God is always in control.
