Cosmic City

Feb 3:
Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God. 
Psalm 90:2

Feb 10:
The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs.
Isaiah 58:11

Feb 17:
You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.
Psalm 77:14

Feb 24:
All things are possible with God.
Mark 10:27

Mar 3:
I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection.
Philippians 3:10

    
"Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.  Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
~Deuteronomy 11:18,19


BOOK RECOMENDATION:
Some of you have come to me looking for a good book to use during your family devotion time.  One that we are enjoying a lot at the Gordon house is the Jesus Storybook Bible by Sally Lloyd Jones.  The brilliance of this book (and what makes it unique) is that it teaches kids that EVERY story in the Bible points to Jesus.  The familiar stories are told in a very conversational style and often lead us into great discussions of God's faithfulness and love.
  • Do you have a favorite book that you use/have used in your devotional time as a family?


What do these things have in common?
  • Sewing and stuffing handmade animals
  • A spontaneous birthday party for a King
  • Donuts!
  • Singing, marching, and playing instruments
  • Praying for and supporting one another
  • Hearing God's Word and learning how to share his love
Give up?  Well, all of these things have happened in the past few weeks at Sunday School!  Come join us!

Children's Church -
Ages 4-1st Grade
Children ages 4-1st grade come to the sanctuary for the first part of the worship service, and then are dismissed to meet their teachers at the back of the sanctuary to go to Children's Church.

Kid's Activity Sheets are available for kids who remain in worship.  They may be picked up at the back of the sanctuary. 


Nursery through the Worship hour - newborn to 3 years
We have a trained, paid staff assisted by volunteers.
