Amazing Accomplishments

We ended our series on the Ten Commandments this week with "Do not covet" or, to be content with what God gives us. We each shared an accomplishment that we were most proud of and shared what it would be like if someone else accomplished the same thing...but did it better. We discussed that God made us each different, with different gifts. No one else is quite like us - and that's a great thing! We can concentrate on what God has given us, and not wish we were different.  We should also rejoice with others in their accomplishments so we took turns encouraging each other and sharing what gifts God has given each person.


Our next series is entitled "Kids Serve" and we will be learning how God wants each of us to serve Him and others. One way to serve is to give. Throughout the month of August, Amplify Children's Ministry will be partnering with the Union Rescue Mission of Cumberland to collect school supplies and clothing that is in good condition. These will be distributed to kids before the start of the school year so if you would like to help, please turn in your donations to Pastor Harry or Sandra by August 26th.  Kids will receive points this month for participating in activities of serving within the church, community, and even  in helping another nation! We are excited to teach Amplify Children about serving God and giving to others.


We also officially promoted Jess Binnix to the youth group. We are gonna miss her in Children's Church but are excited for her to grow into all that God has for her! Sunday evening we presented her with a Student Bible and certificate.
