30 Days of Prayer and Fasting 2011 - Day 21

Today, be in prayer for the Lighthouse Early Childhood Center and it's staff. 

The Lighhouse has been a part of our church ministry for 30 years.  Recently, God has opened up doors to allow us to have a better minitstry for parents and families of kids who are enrolled.  Please pray that God gives wisdom to the Lighthouse Council, the church staff, and Lighthouse staff, and to Angela Sirota, the Lighthouse Director.

Most of all, pray for the kids who go there, that they would know Jesus as their savior, develop a lifelong commitment to being a disciple of Jesus Christ.  Pray that way for their family (and oikos) as well.


Proverbs 22:6

6 Train a child in the way he should go,
   and when he is old he will not turn from it.

FBCSD Kids Ministry Begins Lighthouse Chapel

On Wednesday morning, JR and I had the opportunity to put on the very first Lighthouse Chapel. It was an awesome time as we sung songs with the kids and had some teaching time. Our word of the day was love.  Below is a video with just a few clips of our time together.

We asked the kids what they thought love meant and it was fun listening to their answers. We heard all types of responses, such as love means to give hugs, love means to treat others nicely, and more.  But most importantly, the kids learned that we all need to love God with our hearts, souls and minds, and we need to love others like we love ourselves.  Afterward, we sent the kids home with a short devotional they could do with their parents about the love of Jesus.

We had a great time and look forward to our regular Lighthouse chapels.  Please pray for us as we design additional ways to work with the Lighthouse as part of our entire church ministry, and specifically with the kids and their families.

Don't miss the chapel video posted below!
