This year in our Children's Ministry at Hebron, we are embarking on a great adventure. We are leading our 3rd-5th graders through a reading of the New Testament. A chapter a day, Monday-Friday, all year long. It was an idea born out of a challenge from one of our 5th graders. Now its sweeping not only the Children's Ministry, but is taking hold among our leaders, our parents, and even the rest of the church.
I found a website back in November of 2011, called www.bibleplan.org, and felt like God told me, "Take the Children's Ministry through this next year." The plan was so easy to follow- a chapter a day, five days a week, easily accessed right from the website. So simple, but so needed.
We've decided to call it, "Bible Challenge 2012", and hundreds of our kids have taken the challenge. I told them, "If you will do this, all year, I can make you a promise- God will change you. You will know Jesus more, grow closer to Him, and be used by Him to touch other's lives. You will never be the same." God's Word never returns empty, but always does God's will (Isaiah 55:11). Its going to be a great year in the Word.
Join us on the journey!
