Body of Christ

This morning our children will be learning about what it means to be part of the Body of Christ.

"so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well..." Romans 12: 5-6

Happy 1st Day of School!

Happy 1st Day of school to all the teachers and students and parents of Platte County Schools and surrounding districts. Praying over each adult and child who will work together this school year.

The Lost Sheep - LUKE 15:3-7 and BACKPACKS of LOVE

Today during Sunday School and Children's Church, we learned about the parable of The Lost Sheep; as a Child of God, God loves each of us so much he will search for just one of us when we have gone astray. 

Back to School - We then talked about the heaviness of backpacks and the contents we carry in our backpacks. Our sins can be heavy if we don't repent and receive forgiveness from God; God can make us clean just like a clean sheet of notebook paper; and when we talk to God and read the Bible we are sharpened like pencils for God to use us.

Finally, we talked about bringing items in for our SERVE 2013 - BACKPACKS of LOVE for Festival of Sharing. Children are encouraged to bring in items for other children in need - the items include toothpaste, t-shirts, underwear, small stuffed animals, etc.
