Family Movie Night: Heaven is for Real

Covenant Kids Report - October 1, 2012

Covenant Kids will be doing a month long mission project in the month of October. October is Hunger Awareness month and the kids will be collecting change in Rice Bowls. Rice Bowls provides much-needed meals to great kids around the world through partnerships with Christian orphanages. If you have any questions about this mission project you can contact Lindsay Perry at children@covenantum.org or you can visit their website at Ricebowls.org.

The Wednesday Night Program is off and running. The kids have been enjoying our Movie Clips for Kids lessons which will run for a few more weeks. We will then start a new lesson on "What's in the Bible with Buck Denver." The lessons start around 6:25 p.m. and last about 45 minutes. All kids from four years old through 5th grade are invited to join.

Covenant Kids will be hosting Family Fun Day at the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday, October 13 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. We will have a tent set up with games and crafts for the kids. We will need volunteers to help the kids with these activities. A sign up sheet will be posted in the Narthex or you can email Lindsay Perry to find out the needs.

Greetings!

What a busy month August has been!  We have had several training opportunities for our Children's Ministry team, blessed our kids backpacks, started back to school, trained and recognized our acolytes, promoted our kids in Sunday School, started a new Sunday school curriculum, formed our Covenant Children's Council, survived Bible Boot Camp and tomorrow we will present our 3rd and 4th graders with their Bibles.  Whew! 

That is so exciting to see so much happening in our Children's Ministry!!!  There is always room for more!  If you have any suggestions or comments about this ministry, we would love to hear from you.   Also, if you feel the call to help our kids learn about Jesus and would like to find a place as a volunteer in the Children's Ministry, we would love to have you!  Please email Lindsay Perry at children@covenantum.org to volunteer or with comments.

Wednesday Night Program
September 5  6:30-7:30 p.m.
This year, we will be doing many new and exciting programs during our Wednesday Night programming.  We will do each program for 4-6 weeks to keep it new and fresh for the kids.

Our first program will be "Movie Clips for Kids--Faith Building Devotions."  The kids will watch a clip from a popular G-rated movie and then we will relate a Bible lesson to the movie.  It will be fun and engaging for the young and old of our Covenant kids!  We will also be learning more about the Bible through the "What's in the Bible with Buck Denver" series and doing some Bible Drills!

If your child will be participating in this program, please sign them up on the sheet in the Narthex or respond to this email with their name.  We need an estimate of the number of kids to properly prepare for this exciting program.

Sincerely,
Lindsay Perry, Director of Children's Ministry
