Last Friday night we had another Family Fun Night! It was called Christmas Competition! We had 6 rounds of trivia covering the nativity story, Christmas movie trivia, various Christmas characters, Christmas Carols, and a gingerbread house making round! Families had an opportunity to team up with another family or be there own team. It was a great time for families to talk and have fun together!
We also ate lots of yummy Christmas treats and had a coloring contest for the younger kids. We ended the night with a family devotion and take home activity. The Christmas season can be so busy for families, pulling everyone in different directions. But we were glad to take some time out just to have fun together!
1st place went to the Anderson & Gorrellteam!
2nd place was a tie- the Crocker Family and the Hauer & Hazelwood team!
All of our teams did a great job! We hope we’ll see you for our next Family Fun Night in the spring.

This weekend, 8 families gathered together to dedicate their children to the Lord. On Saturday morning, we began by eating together with family and friends. Then, we gathered in the chapel for a short devotional message from Cindy Lash who inspired us to rememberteh influenceweALL (moms, dad, grandmas grandpas, aunts, uncles and friends) willhave in the lives of these children.
Finally, the parents came forward and made these promises.
- I believe that my child is a gift from God.
- I commit to be an example in my own prayer time, Bible study and daily walk with God.
- I will seek God’s will in the decisions I make as I parent my child.
- Building a relationship of love and trust with my child will be a priority for me because I will be influential in their view of God.
- I will help my child connect with God’s family through involvment in our church community.
- I commit to intentionally teach and train my child to love God and follow Jesus Christ.
- I will encourage my child, giving them every opportunity to develop a personal relationship with Jesus.
The friends and families made a promise as well- to support and encourage the parents as they seek to honor God through their parenting decisions.
Thank you to Kerri Taylor, who planned the party and made the room so inviting and fun. Thank you to Hylia Graham and Louella Rugg for serving our families. And thank you to Cindy Lash for making our day so special by inspiring us with your message to encourage and love these tiny blessings.
This morning, our 8 families were recognized during our Sunday morning services. Michelle Engle, thank you for taking care of our families this morning prior to the recognition.
Thank you to allthese families for embracing your role as parentsandmakinga commitment to your child’s spiritual journey.
