CLP Kids Christmas PartyIt is that time of the year again when we come together and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior with festive fun and a kid's night IN at the church so that parents can have a night OUT (for a couple of hours to do Santa-like stuff, rest, or enjoy dinner/date night). This is a WHITE ELEPHANT event. Please bring a small gift for $5 or less and wrap it for the event. Dress in your favorite festive pajamas to watch movies, get crafty, play some games, and eat some pizza! Your child isn't going to want to miss this! Registration is required, and we would love youth volunteers. If you are a youth leader and would like to volunteer, email bhoulihan@clp.church. |

Moses is Saved and Encounters GodIn Exodus 1-4, we see God’s hand at work in difficult times. The Israelites were oppressed in Egypt, and Pharaoh ordered the killing of Hebrew baby boys. However, God’s plan prevailed as a Hebrew mother saved her son by placing him in a basket on the Nile River. This baby, Moses, was found and raised by Pharaoh’s daughter, growing up with a unique connection to both the Hebrew and Egyptian worlds. As an adult, Moses fled Egypt after defending a Hebrew slave and lived in Midian, where he started a new life as a shepherd. God later appeared to Moses in a miraculous way through the burning bush, calling him to lead His people out of slavery. Despite Moses' doubts and fears, God promised to be with him, equipping him with signs and assurance for his mission. |

The Story for ChildrenDear Parents: Blessings to all of you and your family! Welcome to The Story for Children! We are pleased and honored that your child is with us and going to be participating in The Story for Children Curriculum. As you may know, this program has thirty-one lessons—thirty-one beautiful messages of God’s love and care for his children. Each lesson is designed so that your child will be made completely aware of God’s message in each one through the Bible verses, Bible Points, the stories, and various activities. While we as a class explore God’s Word, we encourage you to extend that exploration to your home. Share your own love of His Word with your child, talk about what you are learning in your adult class, and allow your child time to freely talk about and ask questions about what is being learned. Be sure to encourage sharing the activity sheets or have your child tell you the Bible story that has been highlighted each week. Even allow them to tell you about some of the discussions that have taken place and continue them at dinner or family reflection time! Look for the chapter Parents’ Page. Read and do some of the activities that are part of the Parents’ Page sent home each week (some chapters are covered over multiple weeks and an eNews is sent on Sunday with the details about that Sunday's lesson focus). This is a family experience. God is the all-loving Father; we are his children. As The Story unfolds for all of us here at The Church at Litchfield Park, share the experience with your child. We have been blessed with this incredible story! Let’s help make our children incredible and faith-filled storytellers. God’s blessings, Brenda Houlihan CLP Kids' Director |
