Something New In Barnstead: “Kids For Christ”
At the
Center Barnstead Christian Church, we are starting a fresh new year
of ministry! You’ll see increased coordination and cooperation
between our Sunday morning and Wednesday night materials in all of
the kids ministry classrooms. Our overall children’s program
is called “KIDS FOR CHRIST” and we are asking new families join us
for these exciting and educational times together.
We are
continuing with our popular Wednesday night kids program from 6pm to
7:30pm for all students in grades K to 6. We are loving the Pioneer
Club curriculum that includes many special extras for each student;
this year’s Life Skills include carpentry, sign language, sewing,
campfires, and more. Students will have handbooks, wear tee
shirts, earn individual awards, complete Bible lessons, memorize
scripture, meet with their leaders & peer groups, and make friends.
Besides Life Skills, Game Time is a major highlight of our evenings,
and snack is provided. Students have a one time $10
registration fee with a $25 per family maximum.
We are
rolling out a new timeline for our Sunday morning programs as of
Sept 16th. Our worship service starts at 10am, and nursery is
provided, as always. Following the worship service is a short
coffee break; teen and adult Bible studies resume at 11:15am and are
dismissed at 12pm. Our Kids for Christ are in grades K to 6
and will be dismissed from the worship service at 10:30am to begin
their own program that ends at noontime. Kids for Christ can
expect Bible lessons, memory work, games, life skills or crafts, and
small groups of peers meeting with their caring and attentive
leaders each and every week.
Our new
Sunday schedule begins on Sept 16th, and our Wednesday night
meetings will kick off on Sept 19th. On Wednesday Sept 19th
from 6pm to 7:30pm, at our Open House for Kids for Christ in grades
K to 6, we will provide dinner for the whole family while you
complete your registration form, meet your leaders, catch up with
your friends, and get ready for a new year with the Pioneer Club
program at Kids for Christ.
We have
new adult classes that begin this fall and winter. Soon we
will hold another session of Financial Peace University, which is a
popular and effective financial training series. This class
will be held in addition to our two ongoing adult classes. In
the near future we hope to hold a parenting class, with childcare
provided.
We are
looking forward to serving you in the upcoming year. Join us!

Barnstead
resident Connor Vassallo was the winner of this year’s Kids vs.
Grown-Up Challenge held at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston.
The challenge pits kids vs grown-ups in a LEGO build challenge to
see who can be the most creative. Connor, and his mother Kathleen
Vassallo, competed when they came to visit last month. Connor’s
build was chosen and he won tickets to the attraction and a private
build session with LEGOLAND Discovery Center Boston Master Model
Builder Megan Amaral.
