M&M's Music, Missions and More!
Wednesday evenings 5:30-7:00pm You can register online or at the door and registration is always free! Each Wed. evening the children will participate in a variety of activities.

QUARANTINE MISSIONS
Engage your child in a mission from home!
Just because we are not able to go out and do missions as we have been, that doesn't mean we cannot engage in some form of mission at home. Here are a couple of suggestions to get the kids off their own focus of being secluded to thinking about others who are also secluded and how they can help them.
Senior Care Cards
Worry Knots Activity
Click on the activity, download the pages and have fun putting a smile on others faces!
To mail senior cards - call the church office for a homebound members mailing address list.
For more information, please contact Rose in the church office at 870-777-8816.

Right now - in the time of Covid-19, we have had more time on our hands. But what happens when we go back to being social, go back to school, sports and other extracurricular activities that we were doing before. Is your life going to change or are you going to change?
Parents,
Most families today will tell you they’re too overextended, too busy, feel like they’re running a rate race; yet we’ve all been given a gift from God, 24 hours in a day. If you’re like me you’ve often wondered why in the world God only put 24 in there! Each of us has the same amount of time each day, but we all get to choose how we use it.
This month we want to help you discover HOW to manage your family’s time well. Take a moment to watch the following video to see how to manage the time monster:
http://vimeo.com/parentministry/review/92234304/2643c29f03
We encourage you to take the time and really evaluate the 24 hours God has given your family. How exactly are you using the time given to you?
In the next couple weeks you’ll receive a second email from us that will include some steps your family can take to tame the time monster.
Thanks,
Children’s Pastor
