We count it a privilege to work with you and your family. Our leaders love children and receive training to help them help your child. We hope to see, along with you, your child\u2019s growth in the Lord as he\/she memorizes and applies God\u2019s Word to his\/her life.<\/p>\r\n
Today, children deal with tougher, more serious issues than kids did 20 years ago. The good news is, that despite all the changes, God and His Word has been and will always be constant. In His unchanging Word, He challenges parents today to teach His commands to our children:<\/p>\r\n
\r\nThese commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.<\/em> Deuteronomy 6:6-7<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n
Here at Bethel Church, it\u2019s our desire to come alongside parents and assist them in raising their children in the commands of our Lord. The Bethel Kids’ Club ministries provide the tools to do just that. We are looking forward to a great club year. You are welcome to visit our club meeting at any time. If you have any questions or would like more details on the Kids’ Club program, please contact us, and we will be happy to set up a time to talk with you.<\/p>\r\n
Building Lives Together,<\/p>\r\n
Ruthie King, Bethel Kids’ Club Director<\/p>\r\n\r\n
