STUDENTS & KIDS MINISTRY
Kids Ministry Teachers Needed!
Kids Ministry is experiencing growth in our nursery division. The body has so fervently prayed for more young families, and now they are coming! We are currently in need of 2 people to volunteer to serve in our toddler/ 2 year olds class on Sundays during the 9:30am service on the 2nd, 4th, and 5th Sunday of each month. Will you please join us in praying for the Lord to provide a team to come alongside the existing leadership in this class? If you are feeling called to serve in this class or any other kids ministry area, please contact Kids@hoffmantown.org or
858-8601.
Parents Night Out
Your kids are invited to a Mad Science Parents Night Out Friday, September 24! Parents Night Out is an opportunity for couples to pour into their marriage while their kiddos ages 6 weeks-6th grade get to come have a fun time at church. Parents Night Out is held 3 times a year in September, December, and February. On September 24th 6-9:30pm, we are going to dive deep into some fun science experiments. Preschoolers will be learning all about Creation to explore God’s handiwork. Kindergarten-6th graders will be doing some awesome chemistry experiments to learn about just how creative our God really is. The cost is $10 per child with a family maximum of $40. Registration is available at hoffmantownchurch.org/events/pno.
MUSIC & WORSHIP MINISTRY
Christmas at Hoffmantown
As you’re making plans for your holiday season, make sure to save the date for “Christmas at Hoffmantown” on Saturday, December 4th at 7pm. This year’s presentation is sure to be special as guest artists, Bradley and Holly Knight, will collaborate with our Worship Choir and Orchestra to bring you and your family a Christmas concert you won’t soon forget. Bradley Knight has served as staff arranger and worship leader for some of the most prominent churches in America: Christ Church Choir, Prestonwood, and, most recently, the famous Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir in NY. He’s also a producer, orchestrator, and accomplished keyboardist. He’s written and arranged music for the Gaither Homecoming Friends, Lee Greenwood, LeAnn Rimes, Vestal Goodman, Lee University, and the Collingsworth Family to name a few. But, perhaps, what he’s best known for, is being the preeminent music arranger for Choirs and Orchestras in the church today. Hoffmantown is one of those churches who has benefited from his gifts and ministry over the years. Bradley’s wife, Holly, serves alongside him in ministry and is a gifted singer, writer, speaker, and worship leader. You won’t want to miss this incredible “one night only” event, so be sure to mark your calendars for December 4th now. As a bonus, Bradley and Holly will also be leading worship with us on Sunday, December 5th.
