Nursery-Grade 6 sings at 3:00 at our group service at Christ Lutheran Church. Children from the thirteen churches sit with their parents & walk forward when it is time to sing. At 5:00 families of all ages enjoy food and games; such as bean bag toss, parachute, pictures, corn toss and hole in one golf at our church’s new building, 2420 West Omaha Ave.

CHARLIE BROWN THANKSGIVING PARTY! Nov 11, 12-3:00pm Family fun for all ages! Parents are highly encouraged to join their child in this event. What a GREAT opportunity to teach your child about the purpose of Thanksgiving. There will be food, games and more!

Come celebrate Christmas with us. Help with costumes, Christmas sacks for kids, donations, sets, props, etc.. Contact Trish Weander and let her know where you can help.

RM 56 NEXT EVENT (YOU MUST REGISTER) Dec 3 from 5-7:30 we are going to join up with the Christmas Gift Event that Pastor Ryan is organizing. Reg-ister NOW! Adults are needed to sponsor. This will be a servant event where parents and their children will be sorting $30,000 worth of new toys for the less fortunate. We will meet at our new church building 2420 West Omaha Ave. Parents are highly encouraged to join their child in this event! What a GREAT opportunity to teach your child that the season of Christmas is about giving rather than receiving.

TWO YEAR OLDS COME TO XPLORE OUR SAVIOR Two year olds and their parents meet every Sunday at 9:15 in the Rainbow Room. It’s truly amazing to see God work through these children and their parents! This class allows parents and their children to make new friends and learn about God’s love together. The philosophy of this class comes from Proverbs 22:6 “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” If children at the age of two are cognitively learning potting training skills and how to eat with a fork, we can certainly begin training them up in the Lord! Two Year Old/Parenting class is fun, exciting, and life changing! Our church wants you and your child to experience God’s love too! Please join Tiffany Beckman and Deb Lewin on Sunday mornings at 9:15.

QUOTE FROM A GUIDE I enjoy working with XOS because the curriculum is exciting, the guides enjoy being there, the organization of the program; and first and foremost, the kids that come every Sunday to learn about their Savior. -Brenda Gale

NEEDING CONGREGATION MEMBERS TO HELP CHILDREN One volunteer to organize Sunday School technology such as sound, lighting, microphones and movie clips for Sunday mornings; and 3 volunteers to substitute for Guides when they need to be gone on a Sunday morning.
