PromiseLand Kids: Last Month

What is PromiseLand Children's Ministry all about?

We have a hands-on kids church with a message that is woven into the action. Kids learn while they are having fun. Starting our service we sing praises to Jesus through a mixture of fun, action, upbeat songs and slow worship so the kids have an opportunity to learn to truly worship God through song.
Parts of our service are split into two age groups, Preschool & Elementary which are targeted to reach kids at their level.
Our goal is to teach children to have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, and to share the love of Jesus. In our kids church we do have fun, but we take our fun seriously. Our games, props, object lessons, hands-on activities and all we do is centered around making a positive, spiritual impact on Kids. Before the kids leave our service we pray together.
Our mission is to bring children into the Kingdom of God, opening our doors and our hearts to every child.

Last Month

(Picture taken during a missions trip to Agua Prieta, Mexico in December, where we did a VBS on this same theme.)

Last month in PromiseLand we talked about, The Power of My Tongue, and how the Bible tells us it is the most powerful weapon, James 3;8, and that no man can control it. We even used a real cow tongue as an object lesson. We also compared our tongue to the rudder of a ship and how it is just a small part, but the rudder steers the ship wherever the pilot wants to go. So our tongue is a small part of our body, but can make great boasts. James 3:4-5. In James 3:5-6
we need to remember that our words are like fire - you can’t control them and can’t reverse it after the hurtful words are spoken. We need to be careful to use our words to praise and glorify God.
