This Week's Children's Ministry Update

We are learning about sharing God's Love Around the World. In Chapel we talked about how Jesus came to share God's love with everyone, and it's our job to help! However, Peanut didn't want to share God's love and that made us sad. We found out that it was because he was scared to talk to others. So we talked about how it's more important to talk about Jesus then be scared. In JAM we made a little world for the children to go around, it was a lot of fun. Our verse was Mark 16:15 Jesus said,"Go into all the world and tell everyone the Good News!" It was a lot of fun singing He Got the Whole World in His Hands and sharing God's Love!

This Week's Children's Ministry Update

Hello Holly Tree Families,

It's been a busy couple of week, but we've had a blast! I'm so proud of all of our kids, they did a great job at their Christmas Program! With the huge turn out we had we are already making plans for more expanding. If you would like a copy of the slide show let your director know and they will make a list of names.  Since it's such a low cost, we will ask for just a donation $5 to go to Branches. I will get some copies to your director by Wednesday.

This week at JAM and Chapel we are Sharing Love like the disciples. Our verse this week is from Act 2:46 "the disciples continued sharing with joy and praising God." So we talked about how many people during this time of year are sad and hurting. We looked at some pictures of children in the hospital and I asked them what they saw. They said, "she's sad", "she doesn't feel good", "she's at the doctors". So I asked what do we think they feel, and they all agreed that they were sad. Our plan is to give and share God's love and joy with others. In Jam we are making cards that we are planning on giving out to a hospital next week. I will let you know for sure when as soon as I hear back from the hospital. I'm hoping for an early evening time.

We hope you have a safe and blessed weekend.
