Why Metamorphosis?

Welcome! Here we are in the world of bloggers!! I am excited about this opportunity to discuss some ideas with all of you parents out there who have children in the FUMC ministry and those of you who are interested in joining us soon.





So in setting up this blog, I had to pick a name for it... We, at Children of Faith, use the FROG to demonstrate that we are evolving / growing in our relationship with Christ. So, METAMORPHOSIS seemed to be an appropriate name for this place where we can gather together and help our children to 'Grow In Faith'.





Well, lets talk a little about our FROG 'mascot', if you will. There is an old acronym using FROG: Fully, Rely, On, God. This is a lot of fun, and a great lesson, for the kids!! So we took this idea of using the FROG acronym and went a little crazy with it!





We ARE the Faith FROGS - searching for that perfection of being able to completely RELY of God for all of our needs. How do we do it? Let me show you:

by building a strong
Foundation in scripture
Relationship with Christ
Own understanding of Your Faith
Gifts given to you by God, and
Sharing your love and belief in Christ with the world!

At FUMC we give every child a stuffed frog to take home with them and ask them to pray with that frog everyday. We also use it as a tool to get the scripture lessons from the church into the homes and hopefully discussed by the families.

So, we have a lot to do "Metamorphosing" into 'grown-up' FROGS - - we ALL do!

I say "Let's Get Started" and see how many FROGS will become at Faith UMC Spring..??..
With your help we will have solid FROGS jumping out of our church doors and ready for whatever life throws their way!
