Family Movie Night: Heaven is for Real

Covenant Kids

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.

Covenant Mission Kids
August 26  3:30-5:00 p.m.
All kids from 1st-5th grade are invited to join in on a hands on mission project each month.  Our first mission will have our kids making Christmas cards out of their original artwork.  These cards will be sold at Christmas time to raise money for the Angel Tree project.

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
Covenant United Methodist Church

Children's Ministry Update - October 1, 2011

One of the regular events we offer for children is on Wednesday nights. We've revamped it this year and are offering a time of Bible study, craft fun, thought-provoking games, and some great music. (Father Abraham is wearing the adults out!) If you have children in grades K-6, make sure they join us for a great time on Wednesday nights beginning at 6:30 (parents are welcome to bring their children in about 6:15 so they can participate in Communion). Many thanks to Ms. Amanda Arceneaux for leading the Bible study portion and to Ms. Kathy Lewis for leading music. Mr. Sam Ball is also there to help and is always willing to lend a hand wherever needed. We had 7 children the first night, 9 the second night...come on, let's beat the odds and shoot for 15 next time!

I also want to express thanks to Robin Stokes for taking over the coordination of Children's Worship. Susie Blanchard has done a great job and we appreciate all her dedication. Also coming in to help with Children's Worship is Sherry Goudeau, Emily Goudeau, and Diana Seiler. It takes a team to put this together every week and we have a great one!
