JAM 45 and JAM Jr:
We are very excited to announce a new format for our JAM programs for the elementary students this year! JAM stands for Jesus and Me and takes place on Wednesdays. This is a time for preschool through 5th grade age children to come take part in fun, Christian activities which are an extension of the Sunday School program.
JAM 45 is a NEW group intended for the 4th and 5th grade students to bond together, build closer relationships, and dive deeper into their faith. They will meet on Wednesdays from 3:30 – 5:00 p.m. at the church. Ginny Tostenson will pick up these students from Milbank Elementary School at 3:00 p.m. every Wednesday.
JAM JR. will then take place at the normal time from 6:00 – 7:15 p.m. downstairs and will be for children ages 3 through 3rd grade! This will give this group of children a chance to be leaders of their group and have the activities tailored more for their age! This is also a time for parents to bring their children and get involved in the various Wednesday Night adult Bible studies. There will be homework help available during this time for the 4th and 5th graders who are waiting for their younger siblings to participate in JAM Jr. We pray you will get your children involved in these exciting programs!
Got(d) Questions format:
Pastor Thom is going to use a different format for his Wednesday night Got(d) Questions each week. He will be leading various Bible studies during this time beginning at 6:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary.
We are looking forward to seeing the church full on Wednesday Nights!
“The Unexpected” Advent Study
This year’s Advent study will begin on Wednesday, November 27, at 6:15 p.m. in the Sanctuary. The study is titled, “The Unexpected” by Jason Turner. God gives His best gifts to us in unexpected ways. The Christmas season is a reminder of the gift that God gives to us through his son Jesus. When the Messiah, the Lord Jesus, comes, His greatness will span the entire world. The unexpected is what God does best. This is a 4-week study that will take us through the Advent season up until Christmas. There is NO sign-up required. Everyone is welcome to attend any or all sessions! Come at 5:15 p.m. and feed your bodies and then stay to feed your souls this Christmas season!
