You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 Timothy 2:1
2 Timothy 2:1
At the beginning of each school year we have a very special service focused on praying for all of the children, and also for the teachers and administrators who will be impacting our children. Our ladies have an awesome ministry focused on encouraging and praying for our children all year round. At the beginning of the school year parents complete a questionnaire for each of their school-aged children. The information requested includes the basics, ie name, address and birth date. Additionally, the parents are asked to provide any prayer requests for the children and highlight some of their activities.
Currently, the ladies of the Women's Ministry are making beautiful hand-made cards for 61 children on a monthly basis, which include a Bible Verse, and also birthday cards for each of the children. For months that include holidays, the cards reflect the upcoming holiday. For other months of the year, the cards are tailored to the children's' interests.
The cards are then distributed to various groups within the church such as Elders, Deacons, Women's Ministry and Sunday School Classes who then sign and distribute the cards.
A vital part of the ministry is praying for the children. Each of these groups have 7-8 children they focus on for the year. They are given photographs of the children included in their group and are encouraged to also interact with the children whenever possible. The objective is to convey to the children that they have a network of people within the church family that are praying for their spiritual well-being and success in all their endeavors.
Please continue to pray for this important ministry.
