December’s Theme:
Christmas Playlist- Let Heaven and Nature Sing!
Have you ever stopped to listen to a group of carolers and then joined them to go spread some more Christmas cheer with others? Music is such a big part of Christmas, but it’s not the main reason we celebrate. It’s easy to get distracted with all the lights, presents, and traditions that sometimes we forget it’s not about the things we do, but Who we do it for and why we do it.
That’s why this December, we’re singing loudly as we jam out to our Christmas Playlist to celebrate Jesus, God’s greatest gift! The best gift God ever gave was Jesus. Because of Jesus, it’s possible for us to have a relationship with God that will last forever. As we get in the mix this Christmas season, let’s take time to remember the reason we celebrate in the first place: Jesus, the greatest gift the world has ever known.
Christmas - Celebrating Jesus, God’s greatest gift!
WEEKLY VIDEOS ARE AVAILABLE HERE!

Not only do you get the So & So Show with it’s great content, you also will get a mix of different songs that help kids worship, and the memory verse for the month. We often add extra content that relates to the in person experience from time to time. Everything from upcoming events, a motivational video about the topic or what ever.
Parenting Resources
We have compiled some helpful resources that parents can use. Many of them are from Orange which is our amazing ministry partner who creates much of our Sunday kids and youth curriculum.
Mental Health issues are on the rise, especially with kids and teens. SEEN - Healing despair and anxiety in kids and teens through the power of connection - is a book put out thru our partners at Orange. Written by Will Hutcherson and Chine Williams, PH.D. We have two copies at the church so get connected with Jim Staniels if you want to read one. Its great info and practices that will help hurting kids even if they are not your kids. If it feels weird borrowing from us, you can get a copy or even a digital copy at the Orange Store.
Anxiety Conversation guides help give parents an age appropriate tool to talk with their kids about the anxiety they feel and see around them.
