This Sunday, July 12, is our Vision - Information - Prayer Time.

If you are serving this month, plan to come to one of three 5 minute prayer times.
If you are not serving this month, you are still welcome to join for this time.

These prayer times are at 8:45, 10:15 or 15 minutes after the service finishes in the children's chapel.

VISION

Here is what is going to be shared during the VISION time.
A vision that looks toward inefficiency

http://www.timothypauljones.com/2014/07/24/in-praise-of-inefficiency/

We desire excellence and quality in our children's ministry BUT

the inefficiency comes when we challenge parents to talk with their kids about the Bible lesson and what they learned at church.

Some parents will not even begin this conversation with their child or children.

Some parents will try to begin this conversations but it will not go well. 

Other parents will have a great time of talking with their children.

The same parents might fall into a different group each week.

I want to encourage you to continue discipling children and parents. in their walks with Jesus!

PRAYER

We have had a number of new family visit or express interest in coming to Emmanuel.
As we connect with these family, pray they would come to know Christ as their Savior and grow closer to Him.

We also need to pray for more disciplemakers with our children and family.
