Children's Ministry Sunday, September 7th @ 10am

It's our 1st ever, Children's Ministry Sunday!  Don't miss our own Graceland Kids in action, Sunday, September 7th, as greeters, ushers and worship singers!  

We want to expose our kids to every aspect of church life.  What better way than to bring them in the adult service.  The kids rarely venture into our adult services because we provide a kid based, kid centered ministry for them all year long.  This church time will serve as a wonderful teaching and growth opportunity for them.  We look forward to this event!

This special Sunday is timed just as school is starting.  We plan to Commission our kids and send them out to serve God in their schools.  We want to pray over them and encourage them to live for God on their campus.  Please join us!  Contact Pastor Rachel at 661-257-8432 if you have any questions, or want to know how to get your child involved.

Eight Months In...

It has now been over eight months since I became children's pastor here at Living Grace Christian Fellowship.  It does not seem possible that it has been that long!  

One thing I've wanted to do since I started, was develop a better way to communicate and share ideas and thoughts with our parents and kids.  The best way I know how, thanks to technology, is by a web-based means.  Our church website was the first choice but after looking into it, we determined that it would not service our needs very well.  I also thought about creating a My Space page but several parents I've spoken with were not comfortable with the idea.  A blog seemed the natural next and best choice.  A blog is like a digital journal.  It works similar to a website in several of it's features.  It is easy to use and easy to update (for the tech challenged like me).  You can interact with it, too, by posting your own responses and input.  Kids too, can ask questions, post their thoughts, and even offer advise!

This is my first time attempting to do my own blog but I look forward to doing it!  I hope you all visit this blog often to check in with Children's Ministry.  I will write about current events, upcoming events at our church, parenting tips, resources I recommend, and whatever else comes to mind.  I look forward to posting pictures of our Graceland Kids too!

For now, this is the first official post!

That's all for now,
Pastor Rachel
