“Jesus Loves You SNOW Much!” was the theme for the Kids Bible Club held the evening of February 2, 2019. The Bible lesson for the evening was about how God created the world and everything in it — including snowflakes! We learned that like snowflakes, God created us each different and beautiful.
The Kids Bible Club is held from 6:30-8:00 pm monthly on the first Saturday night of the month. Unfortunately our SNOW theme was cancelled last month due to winter weather! So we enjoyed the snow based crafts and games just as much this month.
After the introduction all together with a “Miss Snowflake Pageant” skit and singing the action song “God’s Love is Big” the group separated into older and younger classes for the Bible lesson and crafts. The younger group made pictures using snowflake stamps and paint while the older class painted snowflake suncatchers.
Next everyone joined together again for a trio of
“snowball” (cotton balls!) games: a relay carrying snowballs on spoons, seeing who could blow the snowball the closest to the edge of the table without going off, and an indoor snowball fight!
After a break for snacks, we joined back in the church sanctuary for our closing! It was a great evening and everyone had a lot of fun! (A big thank you to all the adults who helped out!)
All kids ages 3-12 are invited to our next Kids Bible Club event on Saturday March 2, 2019 at 6:30-8:00 pm with the theme “Be a KINDNESS Super Hero”.

Money collected, presents bought, gifts wrapped, packages delivered . . . Our church’s Christmas Outreach project has been completed! Starting back in July, our weekly “Building Up the Temple” mission offering for 3Q/2017 was allocated for Christmas Outreach. For the second year, we teamed up with the
We applied and were provided names, ages, sizes, etc. for two local families enrolled in the program through the Salvation Army. Shirley Pest and Veronica Van Horn made a GREAT shopping team! They scoured the stores and came up with great gifts for all. We were able to provide pajamas, hat & scarf, boots, two toys, and a filled stocking for each of the children on our list. Each family also received some gift cards to use for holiday food.
The next step found Susie Fox wrapping the gifts, adding name tags, and filling the stockings with all the things Veronica & Shirley purchased! Per the program guidelines, each family’s wrapped gifts were then placed in bags labeled with their “Adopt-A-Family” number.
On Thursday, December 14, 2017, Dean & Susie Fox delivered the bags of gifts to the 
Lots of fun, great food, and plenty of energy describes the Fall Festival held at the Pataskala Seventh Day Baptist Church on Sunday afternoon, October 29, 2017 from 4-6 pm. Due to the cooler weather, the festivities were moved indoors, with various games scattered in different rooms throughout the church. As guests entered, they were greeted with the Photo Spot where people could get their pictures taken with or without a variety of things to “accessorize” them. Several people went home with family pictures taken and printed while you wait. In addition, there were several carnival-type games for prizes including ring toss over pumpkins, Plinko, Tic-Tac-Toe beanbag toss, Bible Bingo, make-your-own paper airplane, and tossing ping pong balls into floating rings in a baby pool.
Are you empowered to run the race that God has set before you? Come and acquire tools to focus, train and engage in daily disciplines that will help you accomplish this goal! Sessions will be led by Brenda Rankhorn and Cate Abraham.
A gift of $10 is appreciated for the weekend – it helps buy the supplies we need for each retreat, but don’t stay away if you do not have the $10 – we’d rather have YOU than the money!
