Parent Weekly Email (7/2/21)
I hope your family is staying cool this 4th of July! Just a reminder, GPBC now starts our Sunday morning with a time of family worship in the main auditorium. After worship, the kids will be excused to their classes. There will be Children’s Ministry volunteers standing to the side of the auditorium with signs for the different classes. Please have your preschool and elementary children go to the volunteers who will then escort them to their class. Parents are required to walk their nursery aged children, birth to 3 years old, to the nursery.
This week in Children’s Ministry we will be in 1 Samuel 8-15 learning what happens when the Israelites ask God for an earthly king to rule over them just like the nations around them. If you are unable to attend in-person service, you can find the video lesson online anytime on our Kids and Families Resource Page, on our Greater Portland Bible Church App or on Sunday morning at 8 AM on the GP Kids Facebook Group page.
Christ Connection this Sunday: God intended for a heavenly king to rule over Israel, but the Israelites did not trust God’s plan and wanted a king like the nations around them. God gave them a king, but Saul did not obey God. God had a plan to send His Son, Jesus. King Jesus trusted and obeyed God perfectly and died so sinners could be forgiven and accepted.
I pray your family is able to relax and celebrate with family and friends this 4th of July weekend! I look forward to seeing you soon…and next week at Treasure Hunters VBS!
God Bless,
Sally Bland
