TGIF:

Together Growing in Faith

As the school year winds down and the summer lights up, our Kids In Divine Service get together for food, fun and fellowship on one Friday in each of the summer months. Older siblings and adults are welcome to participate, too.  This is just FREE fun in fellowship;  however, we do need an RSVP for these events for supplies and food prep.  Please email childrentumc@gmail.com, type TGIF in the subject line and include contact info and  number of persons attending in the body of the email.  Here are the details of what we have planned this summer:

 Salt and Light – May 29th

4:30 – 7:00 P.M.  Our KIDS will meet for dinner at Fuddruckers and a field trip to the Oasis Golf Course.  We will be looking at being salt (like french fries) and light (both visible light and ‘not heavy’ light) to the world.  Jesus tells us that He will help carry our yoke and we are to help lift others, too.  Fries are not tasty when unsalted and life is brighter with Jesus’ light.  Our theme this year with our kids and youth ministries is the beach.  So many stories in our Bible take place by the sea.  Water is significant.  Beach water is salty and the light is pretty bright reflecting off the water. 

 

Next TGIF Night – June 12th

(Sea ‘Sure’)

5:30 pm – 7:30 pm.  Paint Night!   Invite a friend or two or three… but, please RSVP for this one for supplies and food count.

Water and Sand  – July 10th

Time TBA. We will take a trip to the lake and enjoy a lesson by the water.   He Seas Me and You: The calling of the Disciples, John the Baptist baptizing, the woman at the Well, the water changing to wine at the wedding in Cana, the paralyzed man by the pool, Jesus walking on water and also calming the storm… all of these stories show us important moments where Jesus saw people.  These are just a few.  Jesus still sees us and meets us where we are – sitting by still water, sharing refreshing water or even weathering storms together. He sees us. Details to come.  

AIM Summer Service

Our Kids In Divine Service (KIDS) volunteer at AIM over the summer to help in their food pantry. 

We will meet at the church at 12:45 PM to bus over to AIM and serve until 3:00 PM. 

Families, youth and children are invited to join us in service together.   

2026 dates are May 28th, June 25th and July 9th.
