CCC&#39;s Early Childhood Ministry focuses on... equipping and encouraging families and volunteers in helping infants through kindergarteners grasp developmentally appropriate concepts such as:  God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever.  Together with families and volunteers, we hope to lay the foundation needed for these young ones to lead Christ-centered lives. 

My kingdom prayer for CCC&#39;s early childhood&#39;s ministry is that every infant through kindergartener who comes through our doors would experience the love of Christ and discover a first taste of scripture and of who God and Jesus are; that families would feel confident in their role as primary faith-nurturers for their children; and that volunteers would be blessed to be a blessing and grow in their personal walk with the Lord as they serve.

Spouse: Brandon CCC&#39;s Elementary Children&#39;s Ministry focuses on... helping kids (and families) become more like Jesus as they grow in Faith, Wisdom, and Friendship (Luke 2:52...and Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man.&quot;) equipping and encouraging volunteers as they honor Christ with their lives and invest in kids&#39; lives 
My kingdom prayer for CCC&#39;s children&#39;s ministry is that the kids and adults involved would grow in the grace, love, and knowledge of Jesus and that they&#39;d share His love with others.

    One child, one hour is the heart of Kids Hope USA.  One caring adult mentoring one child, one hour every week because when kids feel loved and valued they are better able to learn and grow and succeed!MENTORING: A friend or trusted guide (Webster)Influence: To have an effect by intangible means; to affect the condition of (Webster) The other day I was hanging out with a friend of mine.  She probably doesn&#39;t know this but she has greatly influenced me.  When I am with her she always has a smile and great attitude.  It never fails, regardless of how grumpy I am; I come away from our time spent together with laughter in my heart and joy in my spirit.  As I think back through my life, I have had a slew of mentors that have influenced my life; my father, a few particular friends, a Sunday school teacher, my children, etc...  This particular friend that I am writing about influenced me in a different way than anyone else has.  If I were in her shoes I would be grumpy and grouchy quite often.  She has multiple hurdles that continually get in her way of living easy and comfortably.   She lives on a very tight budget, parents alone, has some health problems, experiences continual car and appliance troubles, and most recently major flooding.  Her home had so much water around it that in order to get into her home she had to wade through water up to her knees.  Even then she was still joyful. I asked her if she and her child would like to stay with me until the water went down.  She replied with a smile saying, &quot;Oh, we are fine; it is not in my house yet!&quot;Her attitude has caused me to check my grouchy attitude when little things don&#39;t go my way or I am a tad bit uncomfortable.When Oprah Winfrey was asked about mentoring she responded, &quot;I don&#39;t think anybody makes it in the world without some form of mentorship.  We are all mentors to people even when we don&#39;t know it.&quot;  Cal Ripken says of Eddie Murray, his mentor, &quot;he just put his arm around me and said that it was going to be okay!  That is the ultimate mentoring story.&quot;   Here is what others have to say about mentoring:  &quot;At first I was a bit nervous and apprehensive about our time together.  Now I look forward to it and I even miss him a bunch between visits.&quot; Converse Church of Christ Kids Hope Mentor&quot;Having children is easy - anybody can do it.  Raising them is right hard!  If someone wants to help me I&#39;ll take it!&quot;  Mother of a Kids Hope student&quot;Are you going to be my mentor when I am a teenager?  That will be okay if you want to. We will just call it Teen Hope   When I get older, you will be really old then I can be your mentor and we will call it &#39;Old Man Hope&#39;!&quot;  Cole Hovermale 2nd grader student said to Bob Eads his Kids Hope mentor.Take a moment to think of someone who has been an influence by mentoring you formally or informally.  Perhaps they don&#39;t know the impact they made on your life.  Perhaps you should acknowledge that person with kind words of appreciation.  I am going to start on my long list today!Blessings,  Pam GreenLet us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Gal. 6:9</description>

M.O.P.S. is a group of Mothers Of Preschoolers that get together a couple times a month to rejuvenate and connect with a group of women who are at the same place in their life as you are in yours! It is a great time to make some new friends and learn new information that will help you in your journey as a mother! Your children will be well taken care of and they will be having just as much fun as you are in the Moppets classes, being loved on by great volunteers who love kids! We meet two Friday mornings a month (see attached schedule) and we have a few special outings throughout the year! Come at 9:00 for breakfast and stay for the special speakers and craft time. The morning ends at 11:30. We hope to see you there!!

The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 
1 Corinthians 12:12 
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administrating God&#39;s grace in its various forms. 
1 Peter 4:10 

Servant ministries are an integral part of Converse Church of Christ. With our gifts we are to serve our brothers and sisters in Christ, to build them up in the Lord. Ministry is also for spreading the Gospel of Christ, that God&#39;s message of grace might be proclaimed to all the nations.

Beginning Sunday, March 1st, 2009 @ 5:15pm 

What is it? 
1st Sundays will include a scrumptious evening meal followed by a unique family worship experience.

When is it? 
1st Sundays will take place (you guessed it!) the first Sunday of each month, beginning March 1st.  The meal will be served at 5:15pm, with the event following at 6pm.  The evening will conclude by 7pm.

Who should come? 
Naturally, we think everyone should come!  This is a great occasion to invite family, friends, and neighbors to church.  Do keep in mind, however, that our worship experiences are geared towards preschool- and elementary-aged children and their families.

SUNDAY MORNINGS

CCC&#39;s Early Childood Ministries on Sunday morning include our Nursery (for infants through Toddlers) and Ark Park (for 2-year-olds through Kindergarteners).  We offer care and/or programming for these little ones during each worship service, as well as during the Sunday School hours (at 8:30, 9:30 and 10:45 a.m.).

Infants (newborn-walkers):

CCC values the safety and well-being of each baby.  Toys are cleaned and sanitized.  I.D. and diaper bag tags for each child help keep everything organized and allow us to alert parents in the worship service should there be a need.  Loving adult volunteers play with and care for these precious ones.

Toddlers (walkers-24 months):

Children learn about Jesus&#39; love through singing and playing with God-loving teens and adults.  Using Gospel Light&#39;s Little Blessings curriculum, simple Bible stories and concepts are introduced to this curious and wonderful age group.  A foundation of faith begins in this young classroom.

Parents, for more information about what your toddlers are learning, be sure to check out the Parent&#39;s Home Page we send home monthly.  In each home page, you&#39;ll find an overview of the month&#39;s teaching, a few developmental insights, and activity ideas to enjoy with your child.  These resources are meant to help and encourage you in nurturing your child&#39;s faith at home.

Ark Park (2-year-olds through Kindergarteners):

Using The reThinkGroup&#39;s First Look curriculum (www.myfirstlook.org), we hope to help Ark Park kids take a first look at who God is and understand three basic truths...

God made me.
God loves me.
Jesus wants to be my friend forever.

During Large Group Worship (8:30 and 10:45), Ark Park kids worship God through song, offering, and prayer.  Then, Scruffy and Danny (our beloved puppy and boy puppets) share their stories as young ones listen and learn.  Finally, kids are introduced to the week&#39;s Bible story through creative teaching by our Large Group Worship Leader.

During the Sunday School hour (9:30), Ark Park kids hear the Bible story told in a new way, focus on a monthly memory verse, and take part in hands-on crafts and activities that reinforce the month&#39;s Bottom Line.

Parents, for more information about what your preschoolers are learning, be sure to check out the Small Talk cards we send home weekly.  Please, take time to use these cards to continue faith conversations at home.  Ask your child the Key Question, review the Bible story, and take avantage of the ideas provided in the Teachable Moments section.

Let&#39;s work together to lay a foundation of bibical truths in these young ones&#39; lives, that they might grow to discover their own faith in God and become passionate follwers of Christ.</description>

Based on Luke 2:52, &quot;... and Jesus grew in wisdom and stature and favor with God and man&quot; 252 Basics is aimed at helping kids grow in wisdom, faith, and friendship.  It is built around three Basic Truths every child should embrace according to what Jesus modeled in Luke 2:52. I need to make the wise choice. I can trust God no matter what. I should treat others the way I want to be treated. 

Each month we focus on a different biblical virtue.  Parents, for information about what your kids are learning check out the &quot;refrigerator door&quot; cards that are sent home each week.  These cards contain tidbits about the virtue and Bible story that you can talk about at home throughout the week.  There are also weekly &quot;God Time&quot; cards that have 4 days of weekly devotions you can do with your child or, for upper elementary kids, they can do on their own.  We Value: Bible based teachingSafetyAge-appropriatenessFunIntentional shepherdingGood stewardshipA partnership with parents

In Kids&#39; Amazing Worship at 8:30 a.m. 1st-6th graders experience the Bible&#39;s lessons through music, prayer, drama, video clips and more in a large group setting.  Sunday School classes take place at 9:30.  These are smaller groups, divided by grade, where dedicated teachers seek to share principles from the Bible and build friendships with each child. In Kids&#39; Amazing Worship at 10:45 there are two sessions, one for 1st-3rd graders, one for 4th -6th graders.  It is similar in format to the first hour KAW.
