A New Wave of Ideas & Prayer

A new wave of ideas and prayer happened in the beginning of the year. Lots of ideas are happening to enhance the Sunday morning service for the children of Highview. Prayer has been lifted up for our community. What an amazing wave to ride!

PRAYER & FLYER DISTRIBUTION: The prayer night on Thursday January 6th was awesome. We got 300 flyers out, prayed for the community, and had a great time. There was lots of snow but it was beautful.

KIDMO: Kidmo launched this past Thursday. We did a camp fire craft that was lots of fun. Stay tuned for pictures. Some new interest is happening with other kids in the community. Please be praying that God would use this reach children's hearts and lives.

KIDSROCK: A new scheduling philosophy is beginning to develop. If you are involved in volunteering on Sunday morning for Cornerstone or Pebbles Nursery please come to a meeting right after the service on Sunday January 16th at 11:45am in the Lower Level to talk more about the new idea and what it all means.

Flyers & Prayers

2011! Can you believe it's here? Stay tuned for details about the amazing year God has in store for the Children's Ministries of Highview.

Close to 300 flyers went out to our Immediate Neighbourhood to promote Kidmo, Momstown, and Launch Student Ministries. We had a great time of prayer, fellowship, and discussion as well. Please be praying that the people in the Immediate Neighbourhood of Highview will connect with us through the flyers we sent out.

Kidmo starts up again on Thursday, January 13th

KidsROCK starts up again this Sunday (Jan 9th). Very exciting things happening!

Any questions?

A Prayer Walk, An Up Coming Christmas Party, KidsROCK December Services

1. PRAYER WALK

On Thursday January 6th from 6:30-8:30pm we are going for a Prayer Walk in the Immediate Neighbourhood.

We are going to deliver flyers to promote our midweek Kidmo program and our once a month Momstown program. It's going to be a great opportunity to pray, spend time with each other, and have a hot cup of chocolate at the end of the walk! Our Kidmo and Momstown programs are so cool that we want to promote them as much as possible to our community. All are welcome!

2. KIDMO:

A New Member: Our midweek program is growing! A new member joined last week named Kaitlyn from our Immediate Neighbourhood.

Christmas Party: On Thursday December 16th Kidmo is going to have a Christmas Party! We are hoping that it attract new families and kids to the program. Children from SK-Gr 5 will have an opportunity to dress up as princes and princesses as we join the shepherds and wise men in their journey to visit the baby Jesus. All are welcome. Registration forms available via email - ianpeers@buildingbiggerhearts.ca

3. CHRISTMAS @ KIDSROCK

Want an opportunity to invite a family to our church over the Christmas Season? This December is a perfect opportunity!

Pebbles Nursery:

The children in the Nursery will be introduced to the basic nativity story this year. They will discover the basic characters with a child friendly nativity. Ask Kristyn for details.

Cornerstone (JK-Gr 5):

Starting on Sunday, December 5th we are going to do a 3 part Christmas series called "Heaven's Windows II - Love Shines Thru."

There is no hill too high, nor snowdrift too deep, to keep Johnny Rogers from pursuing the perfect sled ride. In HEAVEN'S WINDOWS II, Johnny not only rides the great sleigh (complete with sled dogs), but also reminds us that God’s perfect gift came shining through in the greatest Christmas celebration of all, the birth of Jesus. We’ll hear the story straight from the frothy lips of Carl the Camel. Also included in this very special holiday cast of KIDMO: Sir Bottomly with his very own shopping network, the “un-synchronized” Flakes on Ice and the return of the Unfaithful Servant. So, throw a log on the fire, gather the kids, pull back the curtains and open the windows as LOVE SHINES THRU!!

A Prayer Walk Opportunity for the Immediate Neighbourhood

The KIDMO program is not starting up again until after Christmas until Thursday, January 13th. But we are going to still be doing something important on Thursday, January 6th from 6:30-8:30pm. We are going to do a prayer-walk-flyer-distribution for Kidmo, Momstown, and Student Ministries in the immediate neighborhood. We'd like to invite all Highviewers to join in this prayer walk opportunity. It will provide an opportunity of prayer, creating awareness about some things that are happening at Highview, and a great time of fellowship.
