Destination Destiny

August, 2008

What an exciting month we had in July. We had a wonderful group of children at Vacation Bible School. Even the volunteers had a great time. Thank you so much to everyone that helped this year at VBS. Thanks to all of your effort, we were able to plant and water many seeds for Jesus.

We are now looking forward to the start of Awana. This is our Wednesday night children’s program for 3 year olds through 5th graders. We will have our first Awana club meeting on Wednesday, September 10th. Registration will begin on Sunday, August 31st, and Sunday, September 7th, before and after the 10:00 worship service. We will also have a registration table set up the first night of Awana. For more information on our Awana program, please call Debbie at 965-4311 ext. 241.

Our Vision:

To partner with God, parents and the church to bring children to their full destiny in Christ Jesus.

Our Mission:

To teach all children in our community about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We seek to teach scripture in such a way that it becomes evident in the choices they make at home, at school and at play. We desire to empower them to minister Christ to others. We want to build safe and positive relationships between the children and the Good Shepherd Children's Ministry Team.
