Happy November!

We are winding down to the last couple months of the year. Wow, I don't know about you, but 2024 flew past. As we enter into the holiday months, our prayer for your family is that it is a time that is filled with laughter, joy, and intentionality. I am going to keep the resources at the bottom of this newsletter in case you wanted to check them out again. I've also added a couple of Advent items to the list as well for the upcoming Christmas season. 

This month we are in a series called God With Us (see details below)!

We are going through the Bible to share stories of how our God is always with us In every season. When is a time you felt God's presence in your life? When is a time you didn't feel God's presence in your life but knew that He was still there? We encourage you to share these stories with your kids this month at home so that they can continue to know this truth: God never leaves or forsakes us. 

NEW series for November!!

Taken from their homes and relocated to foreign places, God’s people find themselves in strange and unusual situations as exiles with different customs, languages, and ways of worship. Even in peculiar lands, God’s people are never alone. He is always working behind the scenes. Sometimes He even shows up on the scene to speak to His messengers and give aid in perilous times. This series will explore how God works, calls, protects, and stays with His people. God’s promise to never leave His people rings true even for us today. 

Mark your calendar for our Keystone Family Christmas Party!

December 7th from 3pm-5pm, join us for some Christmas FUN and a moment of worship created for the WHOLE family! We'll have light refreshments, cookie decorating, games, crafts, giveaways, and MORE! Our hope is to create a fun experience for the whole family to kick off the Christmas season together. 

No need to RSVP for this event, just invite another family and come join us for some Christmas fun! Following the party, all are welcome to head down to the Saline Holiday Parade in downtown Saline!

If you're feeling overwhelmed with the amount of candy you ended up with after trick or treating OR you have lots of leftovers from passing it out, Keystone Kids is accepting donations! 

We go through LOTS of candy (as you can imagine) and if you're looking for an easy way to lighten your load, feel free to drop it off at Keystone Kids on Sunday morning or the office during the week (Monday-Thursday 9am-3pm).

Here is a quick list of some different resources that can be helpful in your families journey to grow your faith! I've added a variety to hopefully give you a good start. We have most of these resources on hand if you'd like to take a look before you buy.

If you are looking for more specific resources than what's listed below, don't hesitate to reach out, we have a huge list and can likely point you in the right direction!
