October Christian Ed. report

What’s Going on with the Children

Sunday Mornings:
Sunday School and Kidzone are off to a good start. We are averaging over twenty children at each. We have also seen some new families. The curriculum we are using is Group’s Hands on Bible. It took a little getting used to but now everyone loves it. The children are doing a lot better with their memory verses this year as well. The Sunday School format has changed and we are holding a junior elementary class pre-k-2nd, and a senior elementary class 3rd-5th with three teachers per class.

Wednesday Evenings:
Wednesday programming is now called Impact Zone and we are doing Bible Trivia in a TV show format. We are averaging 10 children per week with half or more being children from outside our church. We feel that this program would draw in a lot more families if held on an alternative night. Wednesday has a lot of competing events.

Fall Festival:
The children’s activities at the Fall Festival went very well. We had over fifty children participate throughout the day. The youth did an excellent job working it in the morning. We saw many families from outside of the church. A couple families expressed interest in attending our church on Sundays.

What’s Coming Up?
We are doing a combined Trunk or Treat/Halloween Extravaganza with the Girl Scouts on Saturday October 30th at 4PM. We will also be continuing monthly Family Movie Days. Our Christmas Play will be Sunday December 19th.
