Children's Ministry

by Ellen Dillard


Dear Parents and Guardians, 

As you deal with school closings, the suspension of activities and play dates and a national state of emergency, know that we care for you and we are praying for you!  

Some of your kidz may be anxious or worried - During this time:
· Be honest with them - As your kidz talk with you, let them know that there are people getting sick and we need to make the wise choice. Honesty: Choosing to be truthful in whatever we say and do.
· Allow them to ask questions - You don't have to have all of the answers - this is the way kidz process. If you don’t have an answer, you can either find the answer and get back to them or look up the answer together.  
· PRAY TOGETHER - In addition to asking God to give your child peace during all of this, it’s also an opportunity to pray for people in the United States and the world who have been affected by this virus.  
Philippians 4:8 tells us - “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made know to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 
Remind them that we don’t live by fear.  While the virus is a big deal, our God is BIGGER!  God is still good. And God is still in control.  “…for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7
We are praying for each of you as you guide your children through this season. Never forget - God is faithful!
“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” Hebrews 10:23

Love,
Small Group Leaders and Miss Ellen
