3rd Grade Bibles
We will be holding a class for 3rd graders and their parents on September 6th at 10am, here at New Hope. We will be looking at all the different books that are in the Bible, what stories are their favorites, how to find things within the Bible, etc. We will then be blessing and parents presenting their child a bible on Rally Sunday, September 7th. Please mark your calendar and let Michelle know if you will be able to attend so that we can have enough bibles for everyone.
A New Milestone: Healthy Pre-schooler
We want to help give parents tools to help their children grow both physically and spiritually. This milestone has three classes with the first one focussing on physical development, the second is emotional development, and the last one is spirititual development. We want to not only focus on the kids, but the needs of the parents as well. We are very excited about this new milestone and if you would like to participate, please let Michelle know. We will be holding these classes on: October 11th, October 18th, and October 25th at 10 am each Saturday. We will then be blessing each preschooler at church on Sunday, October 26th (Reformation Sunday) along with giving them a pre-school Bible.
1st Communion
We hold a class for 1st graders (or older) and parents to attend were we teach them about what communion is, how we take communion, and show them how it all works. This year, we are going to move when we do first communion to Maundy Thursday, April 9th, 2009. Maundy Thursday is a service were we remember Jesus instituting the Lord's Supper with his disciples for the first time, so what a perfect time to celebrate their first communion as well. We will have more information out in the near future.
