KIDS MINISTRY
Thank you to the 200+ volunteers who helped make VBS “royally grand.” We averaged about 330 kids each day and had 44 children give their lives to Jesus! What an awesome experience it is to see so many children respond to the gospel. My favorite part of the week was when Pastor Lamar asked the kids who wanted to receive Jesus to stand and one bold girl stood quickly and loudly exclaimed “I do!” Please pray for these sweet children to grow in their faith.
Wacky Water Day: July 29th
Plan to cool off and have fun on Wacky Water Day! We will have a large water slide, slip ‘n slide, water balloons, and squirt guns for the big kids and kiddie pool, smaller water slide, and bubbles for our younger kids. We will have otter pops and water in addition to some shade. We will need volunteers to keep everything running smoothly so please email kids@hoffmantown.org to sign up.
Parent Meeting: July 30th @ 12:30pm
Put our annual Kids Ministry parent meeting on your calendar. This will be a great opportunity to meet Caitlin Craft and welcome her to Hoffmantown Church!
Kids Worship ServicesOur kids’ worship service (The Rock) meets the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month. Children hear the Word of God on their level through teaching, worship, crafts, and games.
