Pastor’s Notes

Hello!

February brings cold weather and snow. It also brings us Valentine’s Day.

Pre-teen and teenaged kids are at a stage in life when they’re trying to understand what love is all about. This time of year provides a great opportunity for us as adults to both talk with our kids and model appropriate loving behavior.

Naturally at church we spend a lot of time teaching and trying to model God’s love for each person and for the world He created. We thank you for your continued trust in letting us help in this portion of your child’s life.

In Christ,

Pastor Jeff Anderson

Summer Camp

It’s not too early to start thinking about camp this summer. This year we’ll be at a different campground in Virginia. The dates for camp are July 10-16. The fees for camp have increased significantly so we’re working hard to find funding. Please keep in mind that participation in camp is earned through participation in activities at The Power House. Watch this newsletter for more information in the months to come.
February Topics
_______________________________________

February’s topics for the 6:00 Elementary and the 7:00 Middle School Groups are as follows:

2/4 Jesus Calls His Disciples
2/11 Jesus Feeds Five Thousand
2/18 Jesus Walks on Water
2/25 Jesus Heals a Man

The 8:00 High School Group will continue their study of the Gospel of Luke.

Going Green

As you may have noticed, Pizza Church Press and Kids’ Church News are now being printed front and back on the same sheet of paper. Since so many households get copies of both newsletters, this will cut our paper use nearly in half. Be sure to check the other side of this newsletter for more information.

Attendance?

Often at this time of year many kids start to cut back in their attendance in church activities. This lack of participation can quickly turn into a bad habit and can hurt their chances of being able to attend camp next summer. Please remind your kids on Fridays when it’s time for Pizza Church so that they can continue in their study and fellowship.
