A Week of Joy and Celebration at Arbor Christian Fellowship
This week at Arbor Christian Fellowship was filled with joy, celebration, and the true spirit of Christmas, as children and families participated in three unforgettable events. The week began with Kids Alive Weekend, where over 45 children performed the Christmas musical “We Three Spies,” sharing the gospel through song, dance, drama, and tumbling, and pointing all to the birth of Jesus. Midweek, the Awana Store and Birthday Party for Jesus brought laughter, giving, and family fun, as children shopped with their hard-earned Awana Dollars, contributed to the Compassion Christmas Gift Catalogue, sang “Happy Birthday” to Jesus, and capped the evening with the playful Cream the Commander tradition. The week concluded with The Last Train to Bethlehem, an immersive, family-friendly experience where guests enjoyed live-action nativity scenes, live music, games, festive treats—including a professional coffee pop-up by Cafe Koyan—and meaningful reflections on the birth of Christ and the hope He brings.
Kids Alive: 38 Years of Growing Faith Through Music and Movement
Kids Alive, a ministry celebrating 38 years, offers children a faith-centered program where they grow in confidence and spiritual understanding through music, movement, and drama. Rehearsing every Friday evening from 7 to 8:30 p.m., kids enjoy a safe, Christ-centered environment where they learn, grow, and have fun—while parents get a well-deserved break. Currently preparing for their Christmas presentation, We Three Spies, children actively engage in songs, choreography, and Scripture-based stories that celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. This program welcomes children of all backgrounds to experience fellowship and the joy of shining for Christ on stage at Arbor Christian Fellowship on December 14 and 15.
A Joyful Start to a New Season: Awana Kickoff Night Welcomes Children and Families
On Wednesday, September 3rd, our church kicked off a new season of Awana with a joyful evening filled with family fellowship, worship, and enthusiastic participation from children of all ages. The night began with a shared dinner, followed by a meaningful opening ceremony featuring salutes to the flags, the Awana anthem, important announcements, and a time of prayer. Each club—Cubbies, Sparks, T&T, and the newly launched Trek for 7th and 8th graders—then began their journey of Scripture memory, biblical teaching, and high-energy activities designed to help children hide God’s Word in their hearts and grow in their faith.
