Compassion into Action kids-style is SPLATitude
Children’s Ministry has adopted a mission that’s easy to remember, fun for kids, and directed to help us be good Disciples. SPLAT stands for Serve, Pray, Love and Teach. We want to be like Jesus.
We have a growing number of opportunities to learn about SPLAT such as SPLAT University on Wednesday nights (during the school year) and Camp SPLAT (summer group learning for elementary kids on Sundays at 11). We teach about SPLAT in Sunday School and Vacation Bible School. And during our recent CHARGE retreat, we initiated SPLATitude. We want to inspire our kids, parents, volunteers, and all of Mt. Bethel to have an attitude to Serve, Pray, Love and Teach. At CHARGE, we gave out SPLATitude buttons to kids who displayed SPLATitude. It’s catching on. We’re spreading the word, we’re noticing acts of SPLATitude, and we are learning to make it part of our daily life.
How do you show SPLATitude? Have you seen SPLATitude in others? Tell us about it in a comment below.

Do you serve others in your home, school, neighborhood, around the world? Do you pray and spend time in a relationship with God? Do you love your neighbor, brother, sister, parents, even those that are hard to love sometimes? And…do you share your new attitude of SPLATitude with others? If you do any of the above then you got SPLATitude…and with an attitude like that it’s worth sharing. So pass it on…and when you see it let us know! We want to hear your SPLATitude stories one SPLAT at a time! In Jesus name we S.P.L.A.T.! (serve, pray, love, and teach)
