Dear Parents,
On Sunday, November 18, we will be presenting 1st graders with new Bibles during the 9:30 am service in the main sanctuary. We are able to do this every year through a memorial fund established by the Tom and Margaret Melander family to remember their son, Michael.
I am thrilled to be a part of this wonderful way to bless children and families. God expresses in Deuteronomy 6:19 how important it is for families to be teaching children how to live life His way, and they are to do this using His Word. I value and cherish the time my own children have studied God’s Word with their own Bibles. As a parent, you will be able to use this Bible to help lead your child’s spiritual development; and, partnered with the wonderful volunteer leaders in the children’s ministry programs at Arvada Covenant Church, children will grow up to know they can trust God, no matter what. His Word will show them how to make wise choices – God’s choices.
If you desire to have your child participate in this ACC tradition, please have your 1st grader in room C113 by 9:15 on that Sunday morning. Your child does not have to have anything prepared to participate and receive a Bible. You can have your child wear what you feel is appropriate. They will be escorted to the sanctuary, led through the presentation and taken back to the room afterwards. You will be able to pick up your child at the end of the 9:30 worship/Sunday School service.
Please talk with your child before Sunday, remind them about this and talk about what it will be like to be in the sanctuary, what proper behavior is in this situation and how wonderful it is for them to be able to be a part of this special service. If children do not want to participate, they will still get a Bible and they will be taken care of during the presentation in the sanctuary.
If you have any questions, please call the church office at 303.422.1235
