The emphasis of a Children’s Church program during the regular church service is not so much to teach children as it is to reach children. We want to make the most of every opportunity to connect with children in a very relational manner and allow opportunity to serve children (Three through Six) and their parents by providing a nurturing, learning environment during regular services.
What happens in Children’s Celebration during regular services?
The Children's Celebration will begin immediately following the praise and worship portion and Children’s Message of the service. This is to allow the children to participate in the praise and worship with the church family. A ministry team will present God’s Word in exciting ways that 3 to 6 year olds understand and can help lead them into a relationship with Jesus. This is done through a variety of fun and exciting ways including; Bible stories, games, singing, snacks, and crafts, designed specifically for these ages. This hands-on learning approach will enhance the children’s ability to learn and retain the Godly principles needed to be successful in life. Thematic teachings will be used to help enhance lessons and encourage student interest and involvement. It is our goal to provide each child a loving, caring, and fun atmosphere in which they can discover how much God loves them and that God has something special planned for their lives.
“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these’. –-Matthew 19:14

MT 19:14"Let the little childrren come to me
The Little Children and Jesus
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them.When Jesus saw this he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." and he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them. I think of this scripture often as I teach the little ones. I think it's one of the most beautiful scriptures in the Bible Debbie W

The gas leak that wasn’t . . .
“There was no gas leak,” said Atmos spokesman, Jim Bartling. “There was no danger to anyone at anytime.”
Last week’s event in which it was first thought to have been a gas leak, somewhere in Adrian that shut down natural gas service to customers, turned out to not be a leak at all.
Atmos was doing routine maintenance on the line when a valve locked up in the regulating station. That stopped the flow of gas through the line, resulting in the shutting off of gas to Atmos customers.
When the problem with the frozen valve was fixed, Atmos called in thirty-two employees, some from western Kansas and eastern Missouri, to go house to house and relight the pilot lights on stoves, hot water tanks and furnaces for customers.

City approves purchase of fire truck
The Adrian City Council approved the purchase of a fire truck for the city at its regularly scheduled meeting August 11. The City Council also voted to restore the city taxi’s fare of 35 cents for a one-way trip.
Following the Pledge of Allegiance, Mayor Ray Cusumano called the meeting to order at 7:00. Council members present were Larry Ritter, Mike Lemon, Dennis Kooker, and Bruce Scarborough.
Fire Chief Gary Dizney presented to the City Council a proposal to purchase a new fire truck. Adrian was offered a steep discount on this particular truck because it was ordered by another municipality, but that transaction fell through. Included in the purchase price are ladders and other needed equipment. The fire truck has a 1,000 gallon water tank; this will allow our fire fighters to begin immediately to battle a blaze. The City Council approved the purchase of this fire truck for $175,000. Also approved was the expenditure of $2,000 to enlarge the fire station door.
