Children's Ministry

Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. Matthew 19:14
Dear Families,

We are learning to try to say and do the right things, even when we don’t want to. When we can do this, we have good self-control.

We all must remember to stop, think and choose carefully what will come out of our mouths or how we act toward others. We have the power to harm and the power to heal and help others. We can bring peace or we can cause trouble by what we say or do.

I ask that God use the words of my mouth and each thing I do to heal, build up and bring peace.

Proverbs 12:18
There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

On Sunday morning we offer a Zoom group that will interact with those who are meeting in person at the church. If you aren't feeling well or are uncomfortable entering the church building, please let me know and I will add your email address to the list of Zoom invitations.
​
May we continue to reach our community. We can bring hope, share Christ and impact the world.

Joyfully,
​
Chris Marcoguiseppe
Children's Minister
Fun-Filled Family Events
February 5 we will be having a SCAVENGER HUNT - This hunt will require a Bible or the YouVersion "little brown Bible app." Families will meet at the lower parking lot of the church at 2:00 PM to receive their first clue and will then head out on the hunt. Teams will take a picture of each place they find based on the scripture clues provided, then return to the church for prizes. We will be giving out extra points for random acts of kindness that also must be photographed for proof. The team that has found all the sites and has the most points for random acts of kindness will receive a grand prize.

March 5 will be our next Family Event - Bunco, Bingo and Burritos at the Barn. We will meet at the barn at Dover-Foxcroft Farm at 7:00 PM for a night of fun and games.
​
April 30-May 1 will be the dates for the Family Tent Campout. Families will set up camp Saturday at 5:00 PM followed by cooking hotdogs and s’mores at the firepit. We will have a short movie time, games in the barn and end the night with a story and singing. Families that spend the night will eat breakfast together and worship at the barn on Sunday morning.  We will invite other families to come over to Dover to join us for Kid’s Club at 10:00 AM on Sunday.
Let's Get Social!
Find us on social media and revisit some of the awesome "Telling the Story" and "Kids Club" videos and Bible stories! We are on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram.
“Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus." (1 Thessalonians 6:16-18)
This Week in the Children's Ministry
In our Grades 3-5 lesson this week we will learn that we should choose our words carefully.
​
BOTTOM LINE: I need to make the right choice.
​
MEMORY VERSE: “God's power has given us everything we need to live a godly life.” (2 Peter 1:3)
In this week's Pre-K - Grade 2 lesson we will learn about how Jesus teaches us to help others like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37).

BOTTOM LINE: Who teaches you important things? Jesus teaches me important things.
​​
PRE-K MEMORY VERSE: "The crowds were amazed at His teaching.” (Matthew 7:28)
​
TRUTH: Jesus wants to be my friend forever!

Sunday Small Groups

Grades K-5

We are so blessed at SHBC to have excellent children’s leaders. Our children are actively learning about the plans God has for them. 

You may want to join our family small group. We currently meet in the Fellowship Hall at Spring Hill at 10:00 AM right after the Worship Gathering in the sanctuary. 

You can also find short videos on our Spring Hill Facebook page and YouTube channel of each Sunday's lesson for grade school and an easy-to-understand Pre-K lesson presented by our puppet friend, Penny.

And if you prefer to worship online, check out our YouTube channel or our church website. We want to make it easy for you to connect with one another!

Family Devotion & Parent Cue 

Check out this week's Family Devotions and Parent Cue about having self-control and making the right choices. You can also download the free app "Parent Cue" in the Google Play or App Store for weekly info, devotions, conversation starters and more!
Partnering with Families
Our desire is to provide a setting for families to develop a consistent, growing relationship with Christ.  The children’s ministry team at Spring Hill Baptist Church is committed to partnering with families to connect and grow as we go together on God’s Great Adventure. The average church has only about 40-60 hours of potential influence with kids each year, the average parent/caregiver has potentially over 3000 hours of influence. To plant God's truths in our children's hearts we must work together. We’ll make this vision possible by:
  1. Building relationships with students and families.
  2. Providing hands-on mission opportunities.
  3. Strengthening  faith development in children and families.
  4. Provide affordable safe environment for family fun.
​
We are grateful for the opportunity to walk with your family. For more information about our small groups for children or outreach activities connect with Chris Marcoguiseppe.
