Harvestland Children's Ministry

HARVESTLAND MISSION STATEMENT

"I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest." John 4:35

Dear Parents,

Every Sunday the Harvestland teachers are instructing and equipping your kids with the foundational truth of God's Word. We hope to help children build a strong foundation to rely on as they confront the challenges of today's world. We understand that becoming a disciple of Jesus Christ is a life-long journey and we are privileged to be a part of that journey.

OUR GOALS:

1. Help children see and understand God's plan for their life.

2. Help every child mature in a loving and personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

3. Equip kids with the Word of God through Bible study using the Answers in Genesis curriculum.

4. Help children become less self-focused and more focused on serving God and others.

SUNDAY SCHOOL PROCEDURE

We begin Sunday morning in the sanctuary, the kids (3 through 5th grade) worship with the adults and then are released by Pastor Jon to go downstairs to Harvestland. There, they are met by their teachers, have a group lesson in a classroom setting, practice prayer and enjoy fun activities.

DISCIPLINE

Children are expected to be well behaved while in class. Parents will be notified if a problem develops.

PICK-UP PROCEDURE

After service you are to pick your child up at their classroom. Note: All children Pre-K through 3rd grade need to be picked up by an authorized adult.

Guardian Angel Ministry

"Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." Galatians 6:10

The "Guardian Angels" are a group of people who look after the needs of our congregation. They show God's love in tangible ways by taking people to the doctor, helping them after surgery, running errands for them, giving them rides, making meals for them, making phone calls, sending cards, sending care packages, delivering fruit baskets, making home visits, visiting people in the hospital, providing prayer blankets, planning funeral dinners and much much more.

This care ministry is so important to our church family and we would love for more people to serve with us. If you feel God is leading you to help with any part of this ministry, please contact Kathy Fairchild at 812-350-1935 or kathyfairchild.cotl@gmail.com
