The Church Council received a report in its last meeting on the Kids Ministry of Hoffmantown. Led by Director Staci Spencer-Roth, who has served the Lord and our church with joyful
enthusiasm for six months now, and the Kids Council, active and busy serving and supporting, the ministry focuses on pointing children and families to Jesus through prayer and relationship building. Babies through 4 years ministry has blossomed in numbers in recent months. Three adult baptisms have resulted from October’s Fall Festival. The biggest needs at this time are prayer for the ministry, an administrative assistant for Staci, a 5th and 6th grade Sunday School lead teacher, extra volunteer help in the kindergarten through 2nd grade Sunday School and a Vacation Bible School assistant director. Future activities planned are Kite Sunday, March 27, and a Palm Sunday Picnic with live donkeys and other activities on April 10th. We as a church are blessed and thankful to have such joy-filled, quality leadership in our ministry to children.
