We have some very exciting information that we would like you to be aware of.   But first we need YOUR HELP!!  Would you please be sure that your child brings their Bible to church with them every Sunday.  We are going to learn the books of the Bible together through singing and fun Bible drills, and we are going to teach your children how to use (&Love) their Bible.

Here’s a peek at what we have planned:  During the spring quarter we trust that our children’s heart will be thrilled as they journey through the ministry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, His death, burial, resurrection, and return to Heaven.  We pray that they will understand that God intended to turn Jesus’ ministry over to them with the help of the Holy Spirit.  Pray for the KOW ministry team as we encourage your children to weave faith into their life.   We pray that the information taught will pass from head knowledge of the Bible right into their heart and change their life.

March 1 - Jesus Teaches His Disciples to Pray (Matthew 6:5-13) The children will learn that we can talk to God and will learn that God hears and listens to us and will be encouraged to look at the Lord’s Prayer and to seek God’s will for their life.
