Spring 2007

Dear Parents / Guardians,

     To me spring represents change.  We see the weather change (even in Southern California), flowers and trees begin to bloom, lots of animals give birth this time of year, and with the celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior often there is

a Spiritual revival we experience as well.  Hopefully, this season will help us turn our focus upon God and His word.  You know, there are two ways to fly a kite; you can run and have the kite follow you or you can watch the kite go up and follow it.  Like the pictures above we either keep our eyes focused upon the Lord or we run ahead hoping He will follow us. Our prayer is that your family will take advantage of the lesson plan enclosed and use it to keep your focus upon God and His word.   

     As you may know, we have launched our Kids’ Evangelism Explosion class for students in 3-6 grades during 2nd hour.  During this 14 week course we will be learning how we can more effectively share our faith with others.  If your child is a part of this program please make every effort to insure they attend every week if possible.  The information that they will be learning will not only help them to share their faith, but it will also help them to stay within the faith.

     Please make note of the following dates:

March 11   Day Light Savings begins- Spring Forward one hour!

March 18   No Sunday School for 3 – 6 grade/ Celebration Sunday one service at 10 AM

April 1        Early Registration for 5-6 grade Kid’s Camp/ Adventure Mountain

April 8        No Sunday School for 1-6 grade/ Easter Services 

May 26       Kids’ EE Outreach Event/ Laser Tag   

     We have enclosed this quarter’s memory verses as well as the Bible stories for each grade level.  If you have a child who is entering 5 or 6 grade you will be receiving information for Kids’ Camp later this month.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact me through the church office.

For Christ and the sake of His children,

Linda MacCubbin                                  

Director of Children’s Ministries
