| | FROM THE CHILDREN'S PASTOR |  Dear Friends,
Last Wednesday night in our Answering Kids’ Faith Questions (& Yours!) elective we talked about the Devil, sin, Heaven and Hell. These are intriguing topics to study in scripture. All week I’ve been determined to be more like Jesus. When I look at the big picture of God’s eternal plan, I feel a sense of relief. Yes, the battle is intense right now because the Devil knows his time is short, but the battle victory has already been won. It was won when Jesus gave His life for us and conquered death. It was won when Jesus marched into the real Temple in Heaven and offered His own blood on the mercy seat once-for-all for our sin. One day our conquering King will come in all His glory and the days of battle will be over forever. We just need to keep on keeping on being like Jesus, asking “What would Jesus do?” and then doing that. The Lord is in us 24/7 via the Holy Spirit and we always have access to His throne. God has given us exactly what we need. We cannot listen to the lies of the Devil who is intent on leading the whole world astray.
I hope your family plans to use the March Family Devotional Take Home bag in your effort to build up your family spiritually. It contains information to use that parallels what your child is learning on the weekend at Kids’ Beach.
Parents—if you are not already serving in some way, please come and ask to take a test drive to see if Kids’ Beach is a great match for you and the Lord to do good things for His Kingdom. You, Kids’ Beach and the children will be blessed by your willingness to serve Jesus through serving children.
Looking forward to seeing your family this weekend,
Carrie Graham | | KIDS’ BEACH is a fun place where the whole family can experience God, learn about Him and become who He wants us to be! Jesus loves children and so do we!
What is Kids' Beach? Kids’ Beach is the Children’s Ministry at Tomoka Christian Church for newborns through fifth graders, held in the Family Life Center. Did you know that it is a new day in Children’s Ministry? That means we are committed to using innovative and creative ways to help children experience God, learn more about Him and become who He wants them to be! Our former Kid’s Church/Sunday School model has given way to a large group/small group format which means kids get the best of both experiences all in the same service. Children hear Bible stories in creative ways, using today’s technology and worship with heartfelt energy in large group time. After that, kids break up into small groups where they are mentored by a lifeguard (small group leader) and are encouraged to apply the Bible lesson they just heard to their lives during the week. Kids get all that and have LOTS of fun all during one service. We do our best to provide a safe place for kids to get to know their new BFF — Jesus! Our background-checked volunteers lovingly help children grow in Christ every week.
Four specially created areas cater to various age groups.
• Lullaby Lagoon provides loving care to the tiniest of babies through 2 year olds.
• The Ocean is available for potty-trained 3 year olds through kindergarteners
• The Shore is just right for children in first and second grades.
• The Wave is for kids in third through fifth grades.
