Easter is Comin' and Christ has Risen!!!!!

Welcome parents, children, guests and inquiring minds alike to our new blog site.  The Childrens Ministry at Praise Fellowship (Russell, Pa) has been growing and expanding.  Especially in the area of spiritual understanding in regards to our relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. 

My hope is this blog will be both informative and encouraging to all who read and subscribe.  Each week I will be informing parents and guests what their children have been learning in each service.  That's right we, at Praise Fellowship have 2 services.  A 9am and a 11am service. At each of these services the children remain upstairs with their family members until after praise and worship.  Then the children are released downstairs where the real fun begins. :-D

Wkly Challenge for March 25, 2012: Read the following words out loud at least 4 different times this next week. Then look up and read the following bible verses to an adult. Have the adult sign on line provided and return the next time you attend Praise Fellowship. When you do you will receive a "goody bag" and a star student badge for the bulletin board downstairs with date of challenge completed.
