High Point Kids New and Improved!

High Point Kids has been having record attendance. I remember when 0 or 1 kid would show up and it was such a bummer but we prayed and worked hard at making the program the best we could make it at the time. Terry Peterson our original Kids volunteer has worked selflessly over the last 3 and a half years to make it a worthwhile service for kids. He originally said he would be with the church to help us out for about 3 years. (I'll blog more about Terry, his heart and mission in another post.) Terry has worked really hard and created something that is now ready to hand off to the next generation of Kids leaders.

New and Improved is the best way I can describe what is happening. We are changing a lot while still keeping the core of what Terry Built in tact.

This Sunday High Point Kids begins a new Kids program. We have done our research, explored our options and interviewed the needs and wants of parents of that age children. I am pleased with what we have chosen for our volunteers to work with. It pairs the best of Video, live interaction and small group time making it a great tool for us as parents to utilize every week. 252 Basic is material birthed out of the local church. It is age appropriate in nature and teaches our children 3 basic truths. it is a simple and effective approach to helping our kids grow up and Live Their Potential!

1) I need to make the wise choice
2) I can trust God
3) I should treat others the way I want to be treated

We are moving to a Team approach. No longer will one person carry the weight of this program. They will work together in making each week the best that we can make it. I am so Excited for Jordan and Aimee Robertson, John and Jodi Johnson and Adam and Melissa Delveaux as they take the reigns of our new and improved Kids area ages 6-11. (we could still use 1 or more for this area and another couple people in the other Kids areas to volunteer as well.)

This is going to be a great shift for our Kids. Every week will be better than the last as we get more comfortable with the curriculum and the team gets more time under their belts. Everyone of the couples involved in this initial team has some background in education and will approach the bible in a way that makes sense for your child.

If you have kids stop down by our Kids area and meet our new team. Also Give Terry Peterson a huge hug on Sunday and let him know how vital he has been to High Point these past few years. He built something we can now stand on and take to the next level. That is an awesome thing to be credited with.

Let someone you know hear about the exciting things we are up to. We want to see the kids of this city Find Their Place- Develop their Faith and Live Their Potential!- Imagine a generation understanding why they exist at a young age! WOW! That is the role of the church.
