This spring the children at Mt. Bethel UMC have put their “compassion into action” during children’s Sunday School programs to support both local and global mission projects. Children are sharing an attitude of SPLATitude (serving, praying, loving and teaching the word of God) through age appropriate mission projects and sharing the love of Jesus with children all over the world. Look and see where we have been since January 2008…
- 1000+ fleece blankets delivered to the children in Atacucho, Ecuador
- 175 hygiene kits to Elvinco, Honduras
- 70 welcome baby kits for the Hope Center in Marietta GA
- 1080 salvation bracelets for the children in Kwambekenya, Africa
- 60 picture frames for the Adult Enrichment Ministry serving Cobb County
This month children will work on salvation bracelets for the children in Costa Rica and cards for our soldiers serving far from home. Give the children a mission and an opportunity and they are ready with an enthusiasm only children can bring to a project. Our children are touching lives and sharing the love of Jesus through their attitude of SPLATitude! Oh what a mighty God we serve!

This past school year we have been blessed to have 125 teachers from 85 families share their time and talents to Serve, Pray, Love and Teach our precious children ages 2 – 5th grade in Sunday School. These families have been committed to faithfully share God’s stories. What a blessing these teachers have been to the hundreds of children who come to Mt. Bethel each week to learn and grow in their faith journey. For your outstanding ongoing display of SPLATitude, we THANK YOU.
Our school year teachers take a break in the summer. Consider honoring these teachers by offering your time to teach children during our 11 week summer program. For more information contact Janis Caverlee, preschool Sunday School or Sherri Juliani, elementary Sunday School.

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.
