THE NEW FALL CREEK KIDS

When accepting the position of

Director of Children's Ministries

for Fall Creek Kids, I understood

the weight of this ministry. For

this is not my ministry. This is

God's ministry; and He has

brought no shortage of children

to Fall Creek Church. But it's

still about this one child's walk

toward Him. This one child who

clings to every word of the

Gospel. This one child who was

born to worship. This is a

ministry full of just one child at

a time. 

We all learn to walk closer to

God, when we see that faith

through a child's eyes. And I

also know that no shortage of

children lends the need for no

shortage of God's workman. A

healthy church is one that

grows organically, with a

vibrant heart of children's

ministry.  As we navigate

together moving forward, I'm

prayerful (as you are prayerful)

of your investment in this

important ministry of God's

children. 

                        In Christ together, 

                                        Miss April

So many of our Fall Creek families

have asked recently for suggestions

on family devotions they can do

together.  Juggling everyone's

activities leaves precious little time

for intentional & Biblical teaching

moments. Tabletop devotions to do

together after dinner are always a

good idea.

Focus on the Family has compiled a

good 52-week devotion plan that

could work well for your family!

Making time for

intentional & Biblical 

instruction, such  as

through daily family

devotions, is always a

great idea;

however, purposing           

to parent and lead in

a Christ-like 

manner creates for

teaching moments         

 every day.

what we're reading...

FOCUS ON THE FAMILY

Children best grasp the reality of God's love when they

experience it at home.

Whether your children are toddlers or teens, or somewhere

in between, they need to understand God's love for them. 

                      >   Parents can help their kids understand God's     

                            love by modeling it at home.

                       

                      >   God doesn't just act loving; He is loving.

                       

                      >   God's love is caring, giving and makes the first 

                            move.
