This is our mission should we choose to accept it: reach the next generations.
“He established a testimony in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel,
which he commanded our fathers to teach their children,
that the next generation might know them,
the children yet unborn,
and arise and tell them to their children,
so that they should set their hope in God and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments” –Psalm 78:5-7
We are blessed to have a large children’s ministry here at Grace. It is such a joy to walk the halls and hear the character of God being taught to our kids, hear our kids worshiping through music, and see babies being held and prayed over.
This mission to pass on our faith is a critical one. Now more than ever, we need to equip our children with a solid foundation of Truth. The world will bear down on them harder than the generations before.
It takes many dedicated volunteers to teach our children here at Grace. Many of them pour hours of praying, planning, and preparing into accomplishing this mission. They are one of the most important pieces of children’s ministry; without them we couldn’t reach as many children as we do!
Church, if you have children or grandchildren that attend Awana, the nursery, or Sunday School, would you stop in and let their teachers and leaders know that you appreciate them? I know that this will bless each of them.
Will you also join us in praying for the upcoming year?
While this year looks different, we won’t stop working to accomplish our mission regardless of what the world throws at us. I am looking forward to seeing what mighty works God will do through our church this year.
Important information for children’s ministry this fall:
Sunday school begins September 13 during the 9:00am service only. Nursery will be available during both the 9:00 and 10:45am services.

See you this Sunday!
