Thanks Everyone!

After a crazy day on Halloween running our church Fall Festival (on my feet literally for 13 hours!) I had 2 days off to relax and get caught up on stuff at home. ... Well, here is a giant thank you to everyone who helped make Fall Festival such a huge success. There were about 140 volunteers, and 1475 people in attendance. The weather was great, the atmosphere was fun and festive, and everyone had a great time. This was our 17th year. We hope everyone who came will come back to visit our church if they don't already have a church home.

We love our Clubhouse!

Everyone who walks into the Kid Connection Clubhouse for the first time has the same reaction... WOW! People who've heard about it still can't believe how awesome it is when they see it for the first time. One of the greatest thrills of my week is when I'm out in the CMC and a few of our elementary school wander through the hallway, poke their head in. I hear the squeels of delight, the ooohs and aaahs, and I get a chance to chat with those kids and invite them to church/ KidStuf! Sometimes I even get to talk to their parents, and invite them too. I love my job! Here are those pictures I've been trying to upload!

The Clubhouse

Here are some pictures of our new Children's Ministry Center... known by the kids as the Kid Connection Clubhouse.

Welcome to the Lakewood Family Church (First Baptist Church of Lakewood) Children's Ministry BLOG...
Our ministry is known as "Kid Connection Ministry"... based on our vision statement of "Connecting Orninary Families with an Extraordinary God."
My name is Carol Scheevel, and I am the Children's Pastor at Lakewood. I have been in Children's Ministries since 1982, and have been serving at Lakewood for a total of 13 years , part of that time in the 80's and back here again since April of 2000. It is my honor and privilege to be in the business of telling kids about Jesus Christ, and helping parents navigate the road of leading their children into a deeper faith.
This blog is a chance for kids and parents to chat about what's going on in their lives, ask questions, talk about what they're learning in KidStuf, etc. LET'S BLOG!
