Ruth Sizemore would like to thank all those who helped make our church more beautiful for the Christmas season. From putting up the decorations and trimming the tree, to helping with the poinsettias, it was a real pleasure to work with all of you.

Well on Sunday, December 11th, that room was filled with 22 happy smiling children. The room was beautifully decorated by Dianne and Jolene. They also had the foresight to bring in large tables and more chairs. Our theme was, “Happy Birthday Jesus.”
Pastor Richard opened our program with a prayer.
Ruth told the Christmas story featuring the shepherds, angels, and the big star. The star led us to Bethlehem. Becky explained what swaddling clothes and the manger meant. We had handouts for all the children. They colored, matched, found the answer and then got together to make a mural. What fun!!
Craft time presented a little problem since we thought 12 to 15 children would be a good number to expect.
We were running low on craft supplies and while I freaked out and went looking in the supply room for a substitute, Jolene, Linda, and Nancy gave a good lesson on sharing and we had plenty of “snow” to go around, and some left over.
After pizza, cookies, and drinks, Dianne gave each child a bag of goodies to take home.
So what is going on in room 109? Love, joy, and especially God’s Love in abundance.
Watch announcements for our next event. We hope to see all the children again!

EVERYONE WELCOME ~ COME JOIN THE FUN!
Some people say that children are the church of tomorrow. I say children are the church of today. Since working with our children, I have seen so many wonderful things going on with children. Whether it’s working with crafts, enjoying story time with Miss Dianne, or enjoying the fellowship meal; they are all so connected. They bring joy and happiness. They give love and encouragement. And unlike some adult, they just can’t wait to come again. 
Our Sunday evening meetings will start again in March. In the meantime we are working on an Easter Egg Hunt and Vacation Bible School. Our tentative date for VBS is June 13-17, Monday-Friday from 6:00-8:00. Want a blessing? Set aside some time to attend VBS. Even if you can’t attend every night, volunteer to help as much as you can. Use your talents and help build the church of today and the church of tomorrow.
-Blessings, Ruth Sizemore (Children’s Committee Chair)
As we near the end of summer it’s time to look forward to continuing our children’s ministry.
Plans for the near future include: once a month meeting on Saturday mornings with craft, snacks, devotions and practice for future activities.
We hope to be able to use the children as a part of our Christmas celebration. We are hoping to have a song ready on the hand bells for our children. We need 8 little bells (which we already have) and 16 little hands. If you know of a child that would like to participate, please see Ruth Sizemore of Dianne Marshall.
Continue to pray of us and remember that we welcome any help and suggestions.
