Parent Place December Edition
A Newsletter for parents @ Columbus First Assembly
Merry Christmas
Hello awesome parents. December should be a great month in our Children's ministry. With special lessons and a Christmas party. Read further to find all the details.
It's hard to believe that another year will soon end. To end the year on the right note I will be preaching in the main service on December 29th. The Kids Dock will not meet that Sunday. This is a message that has been on my heart for months. I talked to Pastor Rick about it and he said let's do it.
Have a blessed Christmas season.

Elevate Christmas Party
We have seen a surge in Elevate attendance in the past month. We have some children attending who were introduced to our church from the September Block party. That is very exciting.
We will be having a Christmas party on December 18th. There will be Pizza, crafts, and games.
We also will be inviting children from the neighborhood that evening.
We will finish up the Big Top lessons in December. In January we will start Upside Down Town as the children will learn about making good choices.
See you all at the Christmas Party!

The Kids Dock!
In December we will start the month by looking at the fruit of the Spirit. On December 22nd they will have a very special video about the birth of Christ. I am very excited to show it and talk to the children about it. It tells the story of a shepherd whose lamb is not spotless so he can not have it sacrificed for his sins. Later that evening he meets a baby in a manger. This is so very well done.
What is the Fruit of the Spirit?
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things, there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23
How does a fruit tree produce good fruit? Good soil, good fertilizer, and water.
How do you produce good fruit? Put good things inside of you.
What are the good things we can put inside? The Bible, prayer, songs, and other Christ-like things.
How does the fruit of the Spirit grow in you? More good things more good fruit. More bad things more bad fruit.
