Children and Family Ministry is working with the Mahlia Jackson School in New Orleans, Louisiana for our Mission/Outreach project. We have finished the book collection and the mission trip was a huge success! If you would like to pictures from the trip, please click here.
Children and Family Ministry is working on putting together a family mission trip for the weekend of November 14-16 for families who were not able to attend our spring trip. Friday evening, the group will eat at Mulate's, a cajun restaurant with great food, music, and dancing. The group will spend Saturday morning working at the Mahlia Jackson School followed by lunch at Cafe Reconcile. Saturday afternoon, families will go on a Katrina tour of the city then have free time until dinner. Sunday morning, everyone will attend Trinity Church followed by lunch and then return to Dallas. If you are interested in participating in this trip, please contact Children and Family Ministry.

The Fourth grade will be looking at the main stories of the Old Testament this Fall. They are talking about the overall story of the Bible and how these individual stories fit in and what do these individual stories mean for them today in 2008. During the summer, we have Sunday School for the children in room106. We combine the children into one class. |
