Children's Ministry

KBC (Kids` Bible Club) at stedwardsepiscopal on Wednesday night is on a journey through Narnia... starting our read-thru of The Horse and His Boy!

And you can`t go on a journey without your passport...

Kids earn stickers for showing up, bringing a bible, reciting a memory verse, and other activities.

I think my passport pic came out really well, huh?

Great fun for K-8th graders (and some grown-ups too)!

SO proud of our youth for a GREAT Youth Sunday, covering both services with acolytes, lay eucharistic ministers, readers, greeters, ushers, screens, and anything else they could help out with.

And how do you finish off a big day like this? With a pizza party and a walk down to @scoopson5th for an sweet ice cream treat!

Thank you to everyone in our church for supporting our youth and children`s programs! We`re building a strong next generation!

"Narnia, Narnia, Narnia, awake. Love. Think. Speak. Be walking trees. Be talking beasts. Be divine waters."
- Aslan

We`re back at it on Wednesday nights with our read-aloud through the Narnia books. We`re continuing through The Magician`s Nephew, and got to part of the story the features Aslan as he creates Narnia with his song, meets the visitors, and deals with the entrance of evil into the land.

There are some great themes that came up in conversation with the kids... like taking responsibility for our actions (like Digory did), dealing with the consequences of those actions, and accepting forgiveness.

Then we built Lego Aslans!

It`s so great seeing the kids enjoying the stories, digging into Biblical truths, and expressing their creativity!

SO much fun!

Our children and youth (and Deacon Dan) had a great weekend at @campwingmann Winter Camp!

The theme this year was "Total Surrender," focusing on Galatians 2:20...

"I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

The youth spent time studying and discussing this (and several other) Scriptures, worshipping together, doing crafts, playing (and competing) in all kinds of games and activities, praying for one another, and connecting with old and new friends from around the diocese.

These camps have become a BIG part in the growth of our church`s children and youth.

Thank you to everyone who helps make weekends like this possible for our kids!

A wonderful night of worship at campwingmann with _amyyyates and kbbartle. First with Amy leading all of the youth and children together, followed by a beautiful time of compline prayer with Rev Kev bringing in a special Silent Night for the Christmas season.

Winter Camp has been a special time for all of us this year, and this was an amazing way cap it all off on our last night.

It`s always inspiring to see young people pour out their hearts to God like this. I feel like I have a front row seat to watching a generation that`s going to rock this world for Christ.

And I`m so grateful to be able to stand alongside other great leaders who are helping set the tone for these youth.

It`s been a beautiful Christmas Eve at stedwardsepiscopal! The kids did really well with their pageant, singing Happy Birthday Jesus, and then we enjoyed hot cocoa and cookies... complete with "snow" outside!

We`re blessed to have such an amazing church community!

Merry Christmas, from the King family to you and yours!

Tonight after listening to our readings from The Magician`s Nephew in our Wednesday night youth and kids program, we drew chalkboard art of (SPOILER) Narnia as it was sung into existence by Aslan.

Complete with Aslan on top of the mountain watching over everything, the mean Uncle Andrew and Jadis, and the adventurous Polly and Digory.

Oh, and there`s a puppy in there, because we love them and they must have been there because they`re so cute.

These are fun nights exploring the stories of C.S. Lewis, and I love seeing these kids expressing their creativity in different ways.

I bet we have more fun than the adults in their study!
