Starting in February, we will have no Jr Church on the first Sunday of the month and kids will be with their parents for worship. Junior Church is for kids up through 5th grade.
Are you looking for a way to help out with our young ones in church? We are looking for 5 couples to be ministry partners for the Jr. Church opening. As a couple, you would lead them in songs, and give a short introductory lesson, for example an object lesson. This all should last between 20 and 30 minutes. Then you would be able to come up for the adult worship service. If we are able to get 5 more couples, you would only be responsible for 2 months out of the year. And the older children, starting in January, will only be in Jr. Church the 2nd, 3rd and 4th weeks. So, this will only be 3 weeks out of the month. Your months can be consecutive or spaced out. If this ministry speaks to you, there is a sign up sheet in the vestibule. If you have any questions, see Larry or Melissa Vough.
There is a sign-up sheet in the vestibule for anyone who is willing to assist in the Jr. Church PreK/Kindergarten class. The responsibilities would include crowd control, assisting children in the classroom, and taking children to the restroom.
The church council has approved adding a part-time paid position as a Children’s Ministry Director. This will be a 15 to 20 hour per week position that will co-ordinate and oversee all that is involved with our children, birth through grade 5. There is a job description in the vestibule for anyone who is interested. If you would like to apply, please submit your resume to either Larry Vough or Pastor Will or place it in their church mailbox. The deadline to submit a resume for the Children’s Ministry Director position is February 1, 2025.
There will be a container in the vestibule for anyone willing to donate their Christmas cards to a school that uses them in a program for veterans.
There are a few unbaked apple dumplings left over from Applefest in the chest freezer that is in the classroom adjoining the kitchen in the basement. The apple dumplings are 3 for $12.00, 6 for $22.00 or 12 for $44.00. Please put the money in the chest on the kitchen table, or if writing a check, make it payable to Kingwood church of God and give it to Cheryl Pletcher.
SERMON NOTES
What is a disciple?
January 19, 2025
Mark 1:17 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Other Scriptures: Rev. 5:12, Phil 2:10-11, 2 Cor 3:18
