Children’s Ministry Newsletter May 2025

Hello Heritage KIDS and Families!

May is a busy exciting month as we wrap up the school year and look ahead to summer. From Communion Sunday and Skate Night to Mother’s Day and Graduation Sunday, there are plenty of opportunities for worship, fellowship, and fun. Throughout this packed month of fun and activities it is important to take time to connect with each other and support each other as Jesus calls us to do. Children’s Ministry is focusing this month on making the choices that show the love of God. This message applies in every aspect of life. 

 Be sure to check out details on upcoming events, summer camp applications, and our engaging Sunday curriculum for all ages! We have summer camps starting June 2nd, be sure to set your reminders and sign-up as a volunteer if you want to see the magic of summer camp!

    God took the initiative to send Jesus because of our sin. Jesus came so that we could be brought back into a relationship with God, making things right again. When we see a need and choose to do something about it, people can see the reality of God’s love for them.
