December was a fabulous time for the children. We had a Birthday Party for Jesus where we played games, sang carols, heard the Christmas story, created some crafts and had lots of food! Many thanks to Mrs. Shirley Mason, the Pences, Mrs. Susie Blanchard, and Rev. Chris for their assistance. The highlight of the month was the children's Christmas program. So many people have told me how wonderful they thought that it was. Kudos to Mrs. Jennifer Tassin on directing the children, to Troy Guidry (Santa) and thanks to parents for making the commitment to have your children at practice on Wednesday nights. It really paid off, don't you think?
We look forward to a wonderful 2011 with opportunities for fun and learning God's word. Don't forget: on the first Sunday of each month, children in 1st through 6th grades are invited to join Mrs. Jennifer Manual as they learn about missions and how to reach out to those outside the walls of the church and on the other Sundays, Mr Jerry and Mrs Leigh Nugent meet with 4th, 5th and 6th graders learning about God's word through a variety of activities. On Wednesday nights, Mrs. Jennifer Tassin leads children's music. And of course, each Sunday at 10:10, there are opportunities in Sunday school to learn the Word. If you want your child to grow up active in a Bible-based environment, bring them to YOUR church for these events...what a great way to see your child get to know Jesus better!
Thanks to the entire congregation for the Christmas gift. The giving nature, love and encouragement, not just of one or two people, but of the whole body of Christ in this place lifts my soul and spirit every single day. May God bless you as you enter into a new year of walking with our Lord.
Grace and peace,
Kim Havard
