GOD'S WONDERFUL GIFT
This month our preschoolers will learn about the Holy Spirit, the gift that Jesus gave to the disciples (and us) after His resurrection.
CHARACTER: Thank you
Character is who we really are on the inside. It’s the person we are when no one’s watching or listening. Before we choose to follow Jesus, our character is controlled by our sinful nature. We can work really hard to try to be good on the outside, but we can’t change our hearts to be good on our own. When we turn to Jesus, God gives us His Holy Spirit to change us and guide us to have godly character instead.
Our hearts are new, good, and can start to choose God’s way from the inside instead of pretending to be good on the outside. When we choose to grow in godly character, people see can see how real our words and actions are, and they can learn how real Jesus’ love is!

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
At Mill Creek, one of our greatest joys is leading and loving on our next generation. Our mission is building real life disciples connected to God, people, purpose and compassion. That begins at birth here at Mill Creek. We strongly believe in guiding, encouraging and supporting parents as they facilitate connection and build on what they teach at home.
- Nursery: Our loving volunteers begin that connection to God as a channel through which His love flows. Our babies - 2 years old learn 1 John 4:8, "God is love".
- Toddler/Pre-school: Our 2's through 4/5 year olds learn how Jesus wants us to connect to people. Kind words and actions are taught as they learn Matthew 7:12, "Do to others what you would want them to do to you".
- Pre-K/Kindergarten: As children enter Preschool through Kindergarten, we begin helping kids learn the pursuit of worship and how they fit into the big God story. To reinforce their connection to God and others they learn Matthew 22:37, 39, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...mind and love your neighbor as yourself" and Proverbs 16:24, "Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy to the body".
- Konnect: Our elementary students (1st-5th grade) begin each service with the adults in "big" church. We start to reinforce the idea that they have a purpose in this world through Ephesians 2:10, "We are his masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus". And that purpose for all of us is to love and serve as Romans 12:10 says, "Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves".
