February is FAITH LOVES ITS KIDS month! Stop by the Family Ministries bulletin board in the Info Hallway and pull off a “Prayer Heart” containing the name of a child or youth here at Faith. Take it home and pray for this person daily in February. You can also communicate with your prayer person by dropping them a note in their “FAITH FUN NOTE” bag located in the hallway by the Nursery. There is a picture of each child on their bag so you can put a face with a name if you are unsure of what they look like. Also look for kids and students to be more visible in the worship service on Sunday mornings. Let’s let our young people know that we appreciate and love them all year long by celebrating them this month!
