Let us run with endurance the
race that is set before us,
fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and
perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising
the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Heb 12:1-2
Dear Parents,
This year we
have an exciting summer adventure series for our children from age 2 to 6th
grade. In keeping with the thought of
the Olympics that will be held this summer we have a themed series of
activities and lessons called "Running the Race." The biblel uses this theme many times to talk
about the Christian life. Paul speaks
of training for the race, enduring the
race and finishing the race. These ideas
are appropriate for children of all ages, which is why, during the time the
children are enjoying their fun-filled lessons and activities we will have an
adult class with discussion going on simultaneously. There is no better time to start training
your children than when they are at the ages we are targeting for this series
of lessons
On July 4,
2012 we will kick this series of lessons with a torch parade and lighting
ceremony( no fire). After this the
activities of first night of activities
and then it is outside for ice cream and then a Celebration of Independence day
with fireworks. This series of lessons
will conclude later in the summer on August 29, 2012 with a closing ceremony
followed by food and fun as we close out the summer and start looking towards a
new school year. Look for bounce houses
and interactive games and an awards ceremony as we finish it all up.
I am excited
about this summer of activities for our children as we help them grow and
prosper in the Lord. Please bring your
children and invite your neighbors and their children as well. This series is in lieu of vacation bible
school. If you are interested in helping
with decorations or using your talent in some way contact the office or Barbara
Biard.
Let us run
the race for Jesus,
