Children’s Ministry Newsletter August 2025

Hello Heritage KIDS and Families!

I hope everyone had a wonderful summer filled with sunshine and rest! As we ease back into the rhythm of the school year, there are some exciting events and opportunities on the horizon. On Sunday, August 17th, we’ll celebrate Back to School Sunday, with our Children and Student Ministries leading the services at 9:00 and 11:00 AM. Between services, we’ll gather in the Fellowship Hall with parents from both ministries to update paperwork for the year and explore ways to serve in our ministries. The following Sunday, August 24th, we invite all parents to join us for a Children’s Ministry Parent Meeting to discuss current programming and share future plans. And don’t forget to save the date for our Family Par-Tee Golf Tournament on September 14th—registration is now open for players and sponsors! As we step into this new season together, our Sunday curriculum will take us back to the beginning, exploring the Creation story and learning why we can trust God through every chapter of life.
