Gingerbread Houses...

20 round tables, five excited children and three equally excited helpers at each table, a bucket of frosting 'glue' in the middle of each table, five rectangular tables filled with candies and cereal, children and volunteers conspiring to make the best creation possible using a juice carton...what am I talking about? Well, gingerbread houses, of course! 100 children came to Kids' Connection today to make a gingerbread house for the Christmas season. 66 volunteers were on hand to give guidance and encouragement to the children. It was truly an amazing sight!! Thank you to everyone for participating in this ministry by connecting and investing in the lives of children. You are a blessing to Kids' Connection!

This is the month of PEACE. We will combine this next Fruit of the Spirit with Advent. We are excited to announce that five local leaders will be sharing Advent with us. On Tuesday, the 7th, Lisa Laird will teach us about PEACE, Gale Tien, the Principal at the Christian School, will teach us about JOY on the 9th, Pastor Tim will talk with us about HOPE on the 14th, Pastor Mark Haverdink from Maurice Reformed Church, is planning a message on LOVE on the 16th, and finally, the MOC-FV Wrestling team is visiting Kids' Connection to share their testimonies about Jesus Christ on the 21st. Thank you, in advance, for your commitment to our children!

Just a note for parents of Kids' Connection children: There will be no Kids' Connection during the Christmas and New Year school holiday. Our last day will be December 21 and we'll resume Kids' Connection on Tuesday, January 4!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
