Winter 2023 Collide Kids Church Announcement from Pastor Mike: Proverbs 22:6 says, "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." One of the most important ways parents can train their children in the Lord is through their guidance and example during corporate worship. Therefore, through much prayer and wise counsel, I would like to offer the months of January and February as a time for our children to be with us in worship and for us as parents and church family to use this time to help teach, train, and guide the children of our church on how to sing, listen, and learn in the full assembly of the saints. We will look forward to Collide Kids Church Sundays to resume in March and Collide Wednesdays to resume in February! The Nursery and Sprouts Room for infants and toddlers will still be available. Blessings! ~ Pastor Mike
Note ~ Collide Kids Church (Grades 1-4) will remain in Worship for Communion four Sundays a year (once per quarter) as well as other special times, such as Mission Sundays. Nursery and Collide Kids Jr. will be available.
A message from Pastor Mike:
"But Jesus asked the children to come to him. Let the little children come to me, he said. Don't keep them away. God's kingdom belongs to people like them." Luke 18:16
See how much fun it can be to learn about God. Come Grow With Us!
From the beginning, we determined that we would be a child-friendly community. We want to pass on the faith to the next generation. Reaching this goal won't be done by doing things the same old way. The challenges are tougher. We're excited that our children's ministry is led by a creative team of people who engage the children in exciting ways.
We're blessed with unusual "classrooms" -- almost 30 acres of woods, greenhouses, gardens, a creek, and much more. We are still working to develop this site's tremendous potential.
Children also benefit by experiencing and participating in Worship, so they are always welcome to remain in the Sanctuary for the service. Much is gained by observing others in worship and life-long traditions begin to be established. Even when the kids seem to not pay attention, or you think the material is over their heads, they absorb more than we give them credit for. And, as it says in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."
