Minister Buford Moore gave the 1st Children Worship sermon. Minister Moore’s message to the children was “Seeking God is like looking for that favorite toy that you love. You keep looking for it until you find it. You keep seeking God through prayer. Following the sermon the children took part in bible lesson songs, games, arts and crafts, and refreshments. There were 24 children in attendance. We give thanks to God for this new ministry and for the addition to our church family. It was joyous day in the Lord. To God Be the Glory!
