GOOD NEWS CLUB

at Chapin Elementary has gone wonderfully this

hosting a dinner for all the

next Thursday, March 5, at

our church. We will provide

a free dinner and fun games.

bring a dessert, please

kids develop. However, whenever

we say "yes" to some activity, we are necessarily saying "no" to

something else. Our challenge as

parents is to know where to say

"yes" and where to say "no" in the

brief time we have with our kids! I read an article by Jen Wilkin

entitled "How to Guard Sabbath for

Your Children" that had some

really helpful questions to ask as

we think through our participation

in youth sports (or any activity really):

1. Does it sabotage weekend

downtime or worship?

2. Does it sabotage family

dinners?

3. Does it sabotage bedtime?

4. Does it pull our family apart or push us together?

5. Is it an activity my child can

enjoy/benefit from into adult-

hood?

6. Can we afford it? Parents, how would you an-

swer some of these questions?

Obviously participation in youth

sports is a complex issue that

can't be gauged by six questions,

but we all need to take a step back and "count the cost" of our

kids' activities. Feel free to join us

Sunday @ 9:15 AM in room 218 to

discuss! —Pastor Jack

The Legacy Builders Sunday

school class is in the midst of a series on Biblical parenting. The

foundational Scripture for the

study is Psalm 127, which says

that children are like "arrows." Our

job as parents (and grandparents, leaders, etc.) is to raise our kids

up in the faith and launch them

out into the world.

This Sunday, March 1, we will

discuss the topic of youth sports.

Youth sports is a multi-billion dollar industry and how we

approach these opportunities with

our kids is a huge issue parents

have to face. Youth sports can play

a very valuable role in how our

“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of

everyone who believes; first the Jew, then for the Gentile.” —Romans 1:16

Preschool version: “I am not ashamed of the gospel”

This is our new TREASURE SEEKERZ verse for March. We will talk about it at Sunday

School this week, as we read from Mark 8:31-38, where Jesus teaches about following

Him. These are great verses, and we pray that our children will continue to GROW as they dive into His Word!

THANK YOU to Dale Smalley and the HISKIDZ RINGERS, who did a wonderful job praising God with beautiful

music this past Sunday! If your child is in 1st grade or above and would like to join the handbells, now

is a great time. They meet every Sunday from 10:10-10:25 AM in

the music room. You can email Dale @ dale209smalley@aol.com.

I hope to see you Sunday. I love you!! —Mrs. Jackie

ALL IN THE FAMILY It is getting to be that time of year; this Sunday I will give the Sunday School classes sign up sheets where they will

have the opportunity to contribute food for the luncheon for the children following the Walk with Jesus and for Easter Sunday morning’s reception. You all always do such a wonderful job with this and many are blessed. You are also

invited to help with either or both of the occasions. If you have any questions, just call or send me a note at hander2504@aol.com.

Also if you put something in the refrigerator at the church for a specific occasion, please put a note on it with your name and if

appropriate, the occasion. Periodically we go through the fridge and clean it out with a vengeance, and if your item just seems to be stored in there; it just might get thrown out.

See you Sunday! —Love, Helen
