The official kick off will be Tuesday, January 24, at 1:30pm in room B209/221 with the free movie viewing of “Lifemark.” Please come and have some popcorn and enjoy great fellowship. We encourage you to bring a neighbor, or friend and take advantage of the opportunity to have a Gospel conversation, after the movie. Please click on the link below to view the movie trailer.

We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.”

KIDS MINISTRY
Parents Night Out: Friend of God
As the New Year starts and we remember those “old acquaintances” as we sang Auld Lang Syne, we remember our oldest acquaintance, Jesus. Really, though, it is wonderful to say Jesus is our friend. As we start the New Year in Kids Ministry we prepare for our first event of the year, Parents Night Out, “Friend of God,” on Friday February 17. Volunteer sign-ups are open now. Go to hoffmantownchurch.org/events/pno to register. Friends, come join us as we show these kids the best friend they could ever have.
Kids Worship Services
Our kids’ worship service (The Rock) meets the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Children hear the Word of God on their level through teaching, worship, crafts, and games. They also learn how to apply the Word of God in their daily lives and what following Jesus looks like as a child.
