Let the Children Come!

Last Tuesday morning our church gym was full of smiles and excitement as about 20 moms and a lot of kids played freely in the gym as our weekly GymJam resumed. On Thursday volunteers finished assembling our new play structure in the new playground area so kids can now play as adults visit nearby. Yesterday we embarked on a new season of Sunday morning ministries with about 50 volunteers committed to sharing the love of Jesus, the amazing greatness of our God, and God’s epic story. This Thursday we will welcome new and returning moms and kids to our thriving MOPS ministry. And next Monday we will kick off a new GEMS year with over 40 girls, including at least 20 girls who are new to GEMS. 

Praise God for our opportunity to welcome kids at FCC! As a church that welcomes all kinds of people, we are so thankful for the opportunity to serve kids and have an impact on their lives. A survey by the International Bible Society indicated that 83% of Christians make their first commitment to Jesus between the ages of 4 and 14. Join me in praying that we are able to nurture kids’ faith well and help them put down strong roots of faith.
