Happy March

We are so excited to kick off March with Keystone Kids! We have some really fun things coming up and can't wait to spend time with our kids and families having fun and learning about Jesus!

This month we are wrapping up our series "What Did He Say?" and beginning our new series: Risen!

The anticipation of a long-awaited event is so exciting, right? Maybe it’s the arrival of a new baby, time for that dream vacation, or being able to feast on a meal that you’ve spent all day preparing. Finally partaking of that which you’ve been looking forward to makes you feel like a child on Christmas morning! 

Over the next five weeks, our kids will meet people filled with anticipation. Whether in a valley of dry bones, in the belly of a huge fish, in the thick of pain and grief, on the side of a Jerusalem road, or outside of Jesus’ tomb, they were about to experience new life that awaited them on the other side. 

They longed for the Promised One who would rescue the world from sin. Each story is filled with twists and turns that point to God’s power over death. 

As Easter nears, we will reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection. Death could not keep Jesus in the ground. He is too powerful! The power that raised Him is the same power that dwells within you! Because of Jesus’ love and sacrifice, we can experience newness of life!

How might we experience Jesus in a new, fresh way this Easter?

What does new life in Jesus mean to us? 

Celebrate—He is risen. He is risen indeed! 

NEW series for March!!

Sin brings death, but God brings life. Amazingly, we don’t have to wait until Jesus’ resurrection to see where God has power over death. From bringing dry bones to life and saving a prophet swallowed by a fish in the Old Testament to the raising of a man dead and buried in the New Testament, we see God as a God of resurrection. This Easter series culminates with the greatest resurrection of all—Jesus! His death and resurrection mean that sin will never have the final say. We can be risen and experience new life too because of Him! 

STARTING IN TWO WEEKS!!! 

KidsLEAD!

KidsLead is for our 4th and 5th graders who are ready to take their faith to the next level by learning how to be leaders in their church, homes, and schools. KidsLead will equip and empower our 4th/5th graders to love and lead people to Jesus by using their God-given gifts.

KidsLead will meet once a month after second service for lunch and training. Our very first KidsLead lunch is Sunday, March 10th. 

Parents are welcome to drop off and come back at 2pm for pick up.

We will be discovering what our spiritual gifts are, going over the expectations of KidsLead, and sharing opportunities and directions on how to serve.

Our heart is to equip our kids with leadership opportunities as they grow in their gifts. Our kids are not just leaders of the future church, they're the leaders of the church TODAY. We want to help them step into that and have opportunities to get involved and take ownership of their church. 

KidsLead is a great opportunity, but it does come with high expectations. We want to set the bar high for our kids to grow in their faith like never before. Our kids will not only take ownership of their church, they will have opportunities to lead their peers and help set the culture we want for our church. We see so much potential in our kids that we can't wait to see how God will grow their hearts, minds, and souls through KidsLead!

Camp KidJam is for rising 3rd through 6th graders (meaning our current 2nd-5th graders are invited to join us)! We will be traveling to Indiana this year for a 3 night/4 day camp. I (Ms. Ashley) have taken many groups to this camp over the past several years, it truly is the BEST camp. It's so much fun. 

We will be staying on Taylor University's campus in Upland, IN.

Keystone Kids Camp 2024

Three days to end our summer with our three year olds through 5th graders taking over the entire church. Three days of the MOST FUN EVER. Three days of building friendships, playing silly games, eating great snacks, and most importantly - growing our faith! 

Mark your calendars so you don't miss it! 

More details to come...

(P.S. this is our "VBS" - we are now calling it Keystone Kids Camp)

We are created to serve.

God has given each of us many gifts and talents. A way we can honor what He's given us is by serving His Bride, the Church. It's also a great way to connect to others as well. We'd love for you to join a volunteer team!
