KIDS WORSHIP—Treasure Island!
February 2016

Kids, come explore with us as we search Treasure Island to DISCOVER some incredible Bible lessons! Each week we will dig deep into the Bible where we will find ways that we can give to our great God! Paul said in
1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example…” There are lots of ways kids can be a great example and one is by learning to give unselfishly. We’ll be finding out how we can give our talents, time, treasures, and lives to God every day! Our key verse for the month is, “Give as freely as you have received!” Matthew 10:8
Moms and Dads, here’s where we’ll journey on Treasure Island if you want to talk about it with your kids at home!

• The Israelites Build the Tabernacle—Exodus 35:10-36:7. We use our talents for God.

• Nehemiah Gives His Time to Rebuild the Wall—Nehemiah 2:1-6:16. We use our time for God.

• Jesus Tells About the Widow’s Offering—Mark 12:41-44. We give our treasures to God.

 

• The Rich Young Ruler—Matthew 19:16-26. We give our lives to God.


 

Jake's Boys Music Ministry In Concert at Atlanta United Methodist Church

corner of 2nd and Race Sts.

 

The Atlanta UMC invites you to join us on Sunday, March 6, at 5:00 pm as we present "Jake's Boys" in concert. The group of 8 guys from the Gibson City area have been performing together since 1997, when they first came together for a local production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. All eight of the guys participated in the musical and wanted to keep singing together after the final curtain call. At first they got together every week just to sing. Eventually someone asked them to share at community service and things haven't been the same since. Their name came from the fact that most of them played sons of Jacob in the musical. Jacob's Sons became Jake's Boys.

They have performed for small church families, large church families, pie auctions, local benefits, civic organizations, ice cream socials, appreciation dinners, county fairs and state conventions.They sing mostly southern gospel songs, but also share a wide variety of music that centers on patriotic and old-time hymns.

There is no charge at attend. A freewill donation will be gratefully accepted, and funds raised will go towards the seminary expenses of a member of the congregation who is working towards his ministerial degree and is currently attending Garrett Theological Seminary in Chicago.

A spaghetti dinner will follow the concert and is open to everyone. Mark you calendars now!
