Announcements for 5.20.12

Something new for kids at Grace this summer!

Our summer program, which begins June 3, will be the “F.A.I.T.H. Olympics.” F.A.I.T.H. stands for Follow, Act, Imagine, Trust and Hope – characteristics of a faithful follower of Jesus.  Our children will learn what it looks like to follow Jesus by first being exposed to his life through “The Miracle Maker” DVD. The rest of the summer will be learning about the lives of his faithful people through the ages, like William Tyndale, Jim Elliot, and Amy Carmichael. These followers of Jesus walked his paths faithfully despite many very challenging circumstances. The children will be on “olympic” teams together, interact with the stories, play games, and have creative activities, all in keeping with the “olympics” theme.

If we truly believe that Jesus’ death and resurrection has made it possible for us to bring flourishing, the children of our church are our first arena. Their lives will be shaped by us and they will in turn help us understand what it looks like to follow Jesus.

There are several ways to get involved:
1)  People are needed to assist the teachers and interact with children each summer Sunday.
2)  We need a creative team to help us design a theme logo, signs, props, etc.
3)  Give a few hours on Saturday, June 2, to help set up for the kick-off on June 3.
