We are very excited about what God is doing in the children's lives and we want to take this opportunity to encourage parents to support their children fully with their participation in all the activities of Children's Church.
The response to the memory verse has been great so please keep the encouragement flowing as the children will begin to be offered incentive REWARD prizes for consistent participation and behaviour

As things progress the children will be encouraged to take up more responsibility in the operation and functioning of the Children's Church.
So we would appreciate full parental support in this please.
Our vision for Children's Church is to see each child nurtured and trained in the ways of God in an Encouraging environment, so that every child reaches their fullest potential that God has for them in the giftings and abilities He has placed in their lives.
Our desire is to see that the children do not just know about God - but experience the reality of having a personal relationship with Heavenly Father who Created them and Loves them.
Each child will receive an exercise book which will be used as a record book to stamp stickers, awards etc in - Please ensure the children bring it each week.
Remember parents, the same Holy Spirit that enables us, lives in our children to enable them. (He is not a smaller version.)
The guidelines by which we will function will consist of a list of I CAN'S - Not I cant's - as the Bible tells us "I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Phil 4: 13.
| I CAN use good manners all the time. Please, Thank You, ETC. |
| I CAN sit still to listen while someone is speaking. |
| I CAN keep my hands and feet to myself. |
| I CAN respect things that belong to someone else. |
| I CAN Sing, Clap & Dance during Praise & Worship. |
| I CAN enjoy the presence of God. |
| I CAN invite my friends to come and join us. |
Our Motivation towards something is directly proportionate to the degree of Value we place on it.
So to increase our Motivation we must make a conscious decision to increase the Value (Importance).
