Do you like to make cards, or draw pictures, or write notes? If so, you are just the kind of person I'm looking for!

We have several people in our church who are not able to get out and about; and now we ALL know how that feels! Can you help me let them know that they are loved and bring them joy! If you'd like to help let me know and we'll send you a name and address to send a happy, encouraging note-card-letter-picture thing!!

"Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." -1 Cor. 12:27

Join me, Kellie McAdams, this Sunday at 1pm for a Facebook Live story time! All of us in Children's Ministry miss having "real time" interaction with kids and families, so we'll use this time to catch up with each other, give a shout out to those celebrating birthdays, and pray together.

Plus, I'm going to start a chapter book Read Aloud that will keep you coming back week after week. I’m sure you’re familiar with The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, but have you ever heard of The Magician’s Nephew? It is the story of how Narnia came to be, making it the first book in the series. You won’t want to miss it! It’s one of my personal favorites, and I think you’ll love it, too. So, this Sunday, May 17th, at 1pm, go to the MBIC Quest Facebook page and join the Live video. I am looking forward to hearing from you, and I hope I can be an encouragement to you!”

Blessings,
Kellie McAdams

For King and County is a group who always seems to write songs that are in my heart. This song reminds us we have each other, although separated right now, we're all in this together. And not just us, but with Jesus' love, we can share His love, show His compassion, and be His light in the midst of it all.

-Ms. Nicole

This song always makes me smile, but this version of them playing the song separated in their own homes, using whatever instruments (including their voice) they could - well, it makes the song even more uplifting. The message is also a great reminder - although our circumstances may not be ideal, the love and strength of Jesus can and will help us dance in every situation in this life, knowing that the ultimate happy dance is in our future. So don't just sit there, get up and get down!! =-)
