We Open Tomorrow!

Hey Foursquare Kids Families,
The Treasure Island kids building is the new home of Foursquare Kids and what an incredible place it will be to learn about Jesus! It will be a place where kids for generations to come will get to learn about the love Jesus has for them! The mission of Foursquare Kids is to affirm families in reaching children and strengthening them to become lifelong followers of Christ. I can recall clearly when Pastor Roger told our staff that we would have the opportunity to create a facility for kids and as I stood in the facility this morning, I was overcome with the reality of what this place will be for children. It is a fun, safe, and exciting environment that will motivate children and families to want to be at church.

A couple of highlights that you will see this weekend are animals reading bibles throughout the artwork, the preschool rules etched into the storyboard in the classrooms, and the mission of Foursquare; to Love God and Love People seen throughout the facility.


I hope you will join us this weekend!
What an amazing Easter weekend we will be sure to have.

Blessings,
Christina

New Look of Foursquare Kids!

Since the launch of the new Foursquare Kids Building thrusts Foursquare Kids into the jungle, the look of Foursquare Kids is going to follow this theme. You will begin to see this on T-shirts, floor mats, kids cash and more! Check out the new look below. -Zach

Hard Hat Tours

Many people have been asking if there is a way for them to see the building. We want to provide opportunities to preview the work that is being done since at this point it is critical to limit visitors to designated times. Opportunities to see the building will be in the form of hard hat tours the weekends of March 21 & 22 and March 28 & 29. We will have tours of the building after the 6pm service on Saturdays and the 11am service on Sundays. Details and more information to follow! -Christina

Play Structure



We have been working hard on the design elements and just got the final drawings for the structure going in the play land area of the building. It is pretty remarkable...the dimensions will be 23 ft high, 24 feet wide and 36 feet long! -Zach

Prayer Request

We are praying for a few days of dry weather. The project is on schedule but we are needing some dry days for the repair of the roof. There are many components of the remodel that cannot be completed until the roof is done, so we need God to act and bring us some sunshine!

You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it. -Matthew 21:22 (NLT)
