Make it stand out.
If you’re a Christian parent, no doubt you want your kids to follow Christ, too. Their is no greater joy than to hear that our children are walking in the truth. (3 John 1:4) When a child, teen, or young adult lives out their faith, there is simply no greater joy. But there is also no greater heartbreak than when a child leaves their faith.
Direct observations in natural settings, presents a rationale for looking to outdoor play spaces – especially community parks — as a resource of promoting children’s spirituality. Based on the understanding that young children have an innately rich spiritual dimension that can be nurtured when given opportunities to express it or when such expressions are recognized.
playful activities in outdoor spaces can support the holistic development of young children and promote their spirituality.
Thank you and God bless you for such Beautyful event. God bless our Church Volunteers and Eadlers.

“The real Christmas message goes far deeper. It heralds the entrance of God into human history. It is Heaven descending to Earth. It is as though a trumpeter had taken his stand upon the turrets of time and announced to a despairing, hopeless, and frustrated world the coming of the Prince of Peace. It answers all the great questions that plague the human race at this hour. The Christmas message is relevant, revolutionary, and reassuring to us today. I believe it can be summed up in three words: a cradle, a cross, and a crown.”
John 3:16-21
16 “For God so loved the world,[i] that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. 19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”
Thank You for Children’s Ministry Volunteers
Thank you for looking beyond yourself and focusing on the next generation. I know children’s ministry doesn’t always get the attention, recognition, budget and promotion that other ministries do. But thanks for not letting that stop you from serving the least of these. One day, the least of these will do the most for the kingdom. And you’re preparing them for that day. You’re investing in kids who will lead strong in God’s kingdom long after you’re gone.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
It is the responsibility of the church to emphasizes the importance of early education and guidance in shaping a child's character and values, ensuring they remain aligned with those teachings throughout their lives
Psalm 91: 1-16
Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
“Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
