Family TALK February 9th

Welcome to Family TALK.  A weekly e-newsletter to keep you in the “know” with the Children's Ministry of Immanuel Church. You can respond to anything on these emails at any time by just hitting reply.

The Situation: Kids wonder, “Will God really answer my prayers?“ Some children think that God is too big or too busy to hear their requests.  Others feel too awkward or unworthy to speak with Him. Still others stop praying after a request is not granted. The Solution: God yearns to hear from His children! The Lord speaks to us via the Scriptures. We respond to Him via prayer. God created people to enjoy unbroken communion with Him. Prayer can be as natural as eating and sleeping. What You Can Do: Pray together—from the time you awaken your child in the morning until you tuck him or her in bed at night.  Practice using the acrostic “P-A-T-H”.  Prayer focuses us on God and His will.  Prayer changes our hearts and guides our path.   P—Praise God with respect and honor for who he is and what he has done. A—Apologize and confess your sins to God.  For he is able to forgive T—Thanksgiving.  In all things give thanks.  Have an attitude of gratitude H—Help others in need and us to grow more like him in what we say, think and do.   This is the model the elementary group will be practicing

There is a great group in place, led by Kelli Wyse and supported by Jace Harrington and Marissa Tenharmsel.  These leaders are dedicated every week to guide the kids in singing.
