The Violet Connection 7

We want to celebrate the amazing week we had at Mega Sports Camp! We had 163 kids on average each night that joined us for basketball, soccer, volleyball and cheerleading. Out of those 163 kids, there were 31 kids that wanted to know more about Jesus or said they were ready to pray, and 4 who prayed to accept Christ into their lives! This week is made possible when our church comes together to help make camp a fun experience for the kids in our church and our community, and Violet really showed up to make that happen. Thank you! During the month of July, VioletKids learned that God cares for them when they feel hurt or broken. The Bible says, “The Lord is near the brokenhearted; He saves the crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).

As we prepare for the upcoming fall season, we are getting ready to kick off VioletKids’ Sunday night program once again. This marks the second year of continuing with Gopher Buddies (4-6 year olds) and Olympians (1st grade-5th grade). Last year was a fantastic experience as we launched a new Sunday night program for children, bonded as a team, familiarized ourselves with the kids in the groups, and shared with them the message of hope through Jesus. As an educator, nothing brought me more joy than witnessing the growth of a group of kids throughout the year and celebrating their progress at the end of our journey together. Building that close connection with them, being there to support them through challenges, truly made their achievements all the more special. Sunday nights provided that kind of meaningful experience for me, and I believe our fellow leaders would echo the sentiment. It's inspiring to see the seeds of faith being sown in our children, trusting that in time, God will nurture and cultivate them (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). If you have a passion for children or teaching, we welcome you to join our Sunday night team. For more information about our activities, please reach out via email at chelseap@violetchurch.com. We are eagerly anticipating an amazing year ahead!
