We're Even Putting the Kids to Work

Announcing the first ever, Growing God's Family

Kid's Poster Kontest!!

Okay, you young'uns, we need your help. Get out your markers, crayons, paint, Big Chief tablets and posterboard and design a poster for Growing Gods Family, Every One Counts.

Here are the themes:
† Building God's Family
† Building God's Kingdom
† Eph. 2:10 - "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."

The competition will be divided into four age groups:
† Pre-K and Kindergarten
† 1st and 2nd grade
† 3rd and 4th grade
† 5th grade

RULES:
1: Please make your posters on standard size poster board. Feel free to use any art materials you wish.
2: Contest begins today, Feb. 3, 2007.
3: Each poster need the artist's name, age, grade, and a parent's name and telephone number printed clearly on the back.
4: Your poster must be delivered to the information desk in the Cross Road Church fellowship hall by the end of the second service on Sunday, Feb. 17.

So be creative; consider what the phrase Growing Gods Family, Every One Counts means in the context of the themes listed above.

All posters will be displayed by age group in the Fellowship Hall. Every participant will receive a ribbon and a winner in each age group will be awarded a first place prize.

The four first-place winning posters will be on display at the Campaign Information Centers and featured here on this very blog.

Posters can be retrieved after Celebration Sunday, March 16.

On another note, each child at Cross Road will receive a coin bank on Sunday, Feb. 17, to begin their own personal contributions to the Growing Gods Family campaign. This is a tremendous opportunity for parents to emphasize to their children how important they are in this effort, This will also give our kids the chance to follow our example in sacrificial giving and experience its blessings. On Sunday, March 16, your tykes will return the banks to church.

Speaking of Feb. 17, the kiddos will receive special campaign T-shirts. We hope each child will wear their shirt to church every Sunday beginning Feb. 24 throughout the campaign.
