If interested in serving in this worthwhile ministry, call Wagner Floriani at 661-296-8737 X153 for a volunteer application.
Grace Kids
In the book of Acts, we have learned that the church grew. Peter and other disciples shared the good news of Jesus with Jews and Gentiles. As the Gentiles trusted in Jesus for salvation, the church was made up of many kinds of people. However, the growth of the church also came with difficulty. Believers were persecuted, arrested, and even killed for their faith. In our session this Sunday, we will teach how the apostle Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth, encouraging them to not be divided and to come together for the gospel.
Paul told the believers in the Corinthian church to come together because of the gospel. He reminded them that Jesus saves sinners. Because of Jesus and what he has done, believers from every nation, tribe, people, and language can humbly come together as one body, the church.
Please pray for our kids to put their trust in Jesus and choose to follow him. For those who already have received the gift of faith, pray for them to pursue unity and seek how they can serve within the body of Christ even though they are still children.
