During the month of September, VioletKids learned that God knows every detail about who they are, making them fully known by God! Our memory verse was 1 John 3:20b, which says, “God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things.” We kicked off opening night for Olympians and Gopher Buddies with 34 children in attendance! We played fun games, got to know one another better, and discussed what we will be doing together this year. We love Sunday nights, and we would love to have your kids join us also! VioletKids participated in our first “serving Sunday” activity this month! The kindergarten-5th graders wrote letters of encouragement to families in our community that receive the food bags from the H.O.P.E. Ministry at Violet. This was a great opportunity for them to partner with a ministry in their church and “do their part” to encourage others. It was a fun Sunday!
1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.” My heart for all the children that come through VioletKids is that they would take this piece of scripture and store it in their hearts, believing that they are never too young to exhibit their faith in God. Kids can serve in their church, kids can participate authentically in worship, kids can set an example in their conduct and their speech. May we be a church body that looks for ways to encourage the young and help them on their own faith journey with the Lord. One way we are doing this is through our “serving Sundays,” which will take place during the months that have a 5th Sunday. This year we have several fun and engaging serving projects planned for VioletKids who are in kindergarten-5th grade. Our next serving Sunday will be the 5th Sunday in January. If you have a desire to be a part of these special events on Sunday mornings, we would love to have you! Please reach out to me via email for more details at chelseap@violetchurch.com.
