Childhood Ministry
Happenings
August—December
Dear FBCHSV Families,
We’re so excited to roll out our 2014-2015 theme, “Bigger than Big”! Our
hope and prayer this year is that your children (infants thru 6th grade) will
be able to experience the greatness of our God who, as the song says, is
bigger than big, stronger than strong, migh/er than mighty, with love that
stretches farther than far...we can’t even imagine just how big God is!
Our theme verse is adapted from Ephesians 3:18-19:
“We pray that you will grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the
love of Christ, and that you will know this love that is bigger than you can
ever imagine!”
We challenge you and your children to learn this verse and to take note of
where you see God in your day to day life and how his greatness is shown
all around us. If you want the take the challenge to the next level, open
your Bibles and see if you can memorize Ephesians 3:14-21 together!
This booklet contains informa/on about a variety of events that you can
expect between August-December 2014. Invite your neighbors, invite your
family, invite your friends. All are welcome! Be sure to check our facebook
pages and the Messenger for addi/onal informa/on about these events as
/me draws closer and be on the lookout for other events that we’ll sprinkle
in the calendar as well.
We’re looking forward to a great year!
