Welcome Pastor Katie - Family Sunday - No Sunday School
This
Sunday is the 5th Sunday...We will do a family Sunday; this will work
perfectly so that everyone in the family can hear Pastor Katie for her
first sermon. I believe she is planning a Children's Moment!

Words and Thoughts from Annual Conference
Annual Conference has been great so far. I have had the opportunity to learn so many new things and have attended a great workshop. A great thing about Annual Conference has been meeting our new pastor, Pastor Katie and her husband.
As I have been listening and learning, I have also been reading a book that was provided to us. The book is titled Get Their Name: Grow Your Church by Building New Relationships. It is written by Bob Farr, Doug Anderson, and Kay Kotan. While I am only on Chapter 4 at this point, one question that was asked stood out to me. I pray that we can begin to help our children be able to answer this question each week:
"How have you experienced God recently in your life?"
You may be wondering if our children could answer this question. I believe they can and here is how I believe they can. As the adults in their lives, we need to model this for them. We need to share with them at home and at the church building how we have experienced God. So, I have a challenge for our adults and parents, over the next few weeks, let's plan to share how we have experienced God each week with each other especially with our children.
Please pray for our children's ministry team as they share God's love with our children and as we continue our focus on our prayer lives. Over the next couple weeks, we will be doing prayer walks and prayer stations with our children.

Summer Sundays and VBS
Our Children's Ministry Team will be hosting Sunday School at 9:30a.m. and Children's Church at 11:00a.m. throughout the summer. During the month of June, our children will be focusing on their prayer life. Children will discuss the importance of being in relationship with God by talking with Him and listening to Him. All children will receive prayer journals, do prayer walks, and participate in prayer stations. This coming Sunday, June 2nd our children will be learning about The Lord's Prayer. Please join us for fun and growing closer to Christ and God through our prayers.
Also, remember to register to help and/or attend our VBS "Everywhere Fun Fair" program. We will be having FUN EVERYWHERE from July 28th through July 31st at 6:00p.m. to 8:30p.m. All children will learn more about God, make crafts, sing songs, play games, eat snacks, and make friends. You will not want to miss out on all that God has planned for us during these four evenings. Go to www.plattecityumc.com to register.
