Hello Everyone!  

This month in Awana we have the opportunity to participate in a special Easter outreach that Pastor David will be introducing in services this weekend. The outreach will be a 4 step evangelistic effort that will be easily transferred to our children’s classes. Each week the congregation will be asked to do something very specific in regards to a non-Christian friend, building up to an invitation to Easter services.

March 8th: Identify a non-Christian friend that you will pray for who needs to know about Jesus.

March 15th: Tell your non-Christian friend that you are praying for them.  Ask them if there is anything you can be praying for them about for them.

March 22st: Do something special for your non-Christian friend.

March 29th:  Invite your friend to one of the Easter Services, to Awana,  or to another event here at church!

We will be giving out instructions to your groups in Awana this coming Monday, March 8th.  If you have any questions please let me know. This has great potential to get our children praying for their friends, getting them to invite those friends to church, and introducing them to the Lord Jesus! 

CLUBBERS:

Kid to Kid: A church-wide way for children to share the love of Jesus with their friends this Easter season, begins March 8th.  Choose a friend to pray for and write their name on a card to turn in so we can hang them up on your classroom door and in the worship center.
