ISLAND KIDS
Sundays | 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM

Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:

Join us as we pray that Christmas will become a time when our children remember the most important thing is that GOD GAVE US JESUS. This week’s lesson is from Luke 2:1-7 – Jesus is born! Our December memory verse is: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son.” John 3:16 GNT

Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:

This week we’ll look at the stories of Mary, Zechariah, and Elizabeth in Luke 1:5-66. While Zechariah struggled to believe, Mary humbly accepted God’s plan. We’re reminded that no matter how we respond, God’s rescue plan can’t be stopped. God always had a plan to send Jesus! Our December memory verse is: “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:11, NIrV

This is usually the season when we highlight giving opportunities through our Encounter campaign. This year, we are choosing a different path. Instead of launching new projects in 2026, we are focusing on finishing what we have begun, especially the West Entrance renovation. It is a major undertaking, and we want to complete it with excellence.

Even though we are pausing new initiatives, the Encounter Fund remains open for those who would like to give toward future ministry expansion, discipleship efforts, and creating inviting spaces for people to meet Jesus. Think of this year as laying a foundation for the next season of growth. Click here if you wish to give to the Encounter fund.

This is also the time when we meet important benevolence needs within our church family. We help with urgent bills and provide modest Christmas gifts for families who might otherwise go without. If you feel led to give, your generosity will have a meaningful and immediate impact. Click here if you want to give to the Benevolence Fund.
