AT THE HOME // Vol 6 Issue 12
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
What a wonderful season of cold weather, hot chocolate, big sweaters, tall boots and cuddles under the blanket! It’s hard to believe we are in the last month of this year. As we reflect on this past year, we can remember the good times and the difficult times God has seen us through. I pray that your family will take the time to reflect on God’s goodness, His provisions, and His faithfulness. May God continue to bless your family during seasons of plenty and during seasons of struggle. If you are in a season of plenty, take time to bless someone who may be struggling with grief or loneliness during this holiday season. If you are in a season of difficulty, allow someone to bless you during this season. As we look forward to the new year with Children’s Ministry, we ask that you pray for our team and whatever God has planned for this year. May you enjoy this season with family and friends! Don’t forget to stop by the Annex and pick up your Advent Family Activity box!
Please see below for upcoming events!

WHAT we’re teaching +
Grab your sandals, sunblock, and swim gear because it's time for a Christmas Vacation! We'll be making sand angels and roasting chestnuts
around an open bonfire on our tropical getaway. You've never experienced Christmas like this! In this five-week series, we'll focus on the birth of Jesus and the way God had been planning things from the very beginning. We'll see how God sent Jesus for a reason, learn to trust God's timing, understand why God gives us what's best, and see how Jesus is why we celebrate because
Jesus is God's gift to the world.
