Children will participate in Kids in Motion mission awareness program every Sunday they attend Sunday School. Every 2 months we will have items needed for the children to package for local missions. Children will also work on items that will travel with missionary teams throughout the year to other parts of the Country and the World.
The goal is to teach children that even though they are young they can share the love of Jesus with others and share their faith through fellowship and service.
Please have children bring the items listed to their Sunday School teachers on Sunday.
Children in 5th grade Sunday School class write Valentine Thank You's to soldiers in Iraq through "Just Say Thanks" website.
January/February Focus:
Hope Center and packages for Honduras Mission Trip
Need from you:
Newborn onesies and pacifiers
BLANKETS OF LOVE
We have had a successful year of making blankets for children in day care in Ecuador. We are concluding our special mission project April 1, 2008. We are less than 100 blankets shy of our goal of 1200. If you are still making one or have a kit still at home, Please finish it and bring it in to the Missions or Children's Department. We have a group going to Ecuador for Spring Break and will take the last we make. Thank you to all who have participated in this event and made the world a better place for the small children
