But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”  Matthew 19:14 

Dear Church Family,

Praise the Lord, for He is our Awesome God. I am so thankful for His saving grace in our lives and how He has given us strength to move through the challenges of the last year, renewing us with His strength to do His will for His Glory. God is so good. Let me take a few moments of your time to share how God has been working in the Children’s Ministry.

During the pandemic, the Children’s Ministry team was sharing the Good News through Zoom Time with Jordan, Snail Mail Club, countless notes of encouragement and more. As we opened to in person Club 2:52 we had a consistent number of 7 children attend each Sunday.  Since May of 2021, we are increasing our numbers weekly, with an average of 15 to 20 children attending Club 2:52.  June 6th we opened our nursery for infants – 3-year-old and are excited to have 3 children registered.  God is so good.

Impact Adventure Camp, Maker Fun Factory, will be July 12 – 15. Preparations have been happening since last summer. We are excited that we can meet in person and have about 40 children, ages 4 – completed 6th grade, from our community registered. We have a few more spots available and can’t wait to see how God moves through the lives of all who participate.

Plans for Children’s Ministry Events continue to happen, and the team is looking forward to all the adventure God has in store for our community. What does this mean for Raymond Baptist Church?  It means, God is on the move, and we need to be willing to move with Him.  I love this quote regarding Mathew 19:14, the scripture posted at the top of this letter, Kids have access to Jesus. Jesus intentionally loved on and blessed kids. He didn’t take time out of His work to love kids, it was His work.” It is our responsibility to come alongside families to help them raise up God’s most precious gifts…Children.

How can you help?

  • Pray for God’s will to be made clear as this ministry grows.
  • Encourage the Children’s Ministry Team, Families and Children
  • Volunteer to be part of this exciting ministry. The more volunteers who serve, means the more we can change the world around us for God’s glory.

Blessings,
