Children's Message
Seth Leypoldt, our pastor, sees this ministry as his strength. "I love the children's sermon. I never complete the preparation for worship without thinking and preparing for that important message to the children."
The Children's Message is open to children of all ages. The message is always relevant to the scripture passage that day and usually contains an easy image for the children (and adults) to follow. Sometimes treats are given which always brings a smile on the children's faces.
An offering is taken at each Children's Message for our sister congregation in Koforidua, Ghana. The Koforidua Freeman Methodist Church uses this offering for the following:
- A detached place of worship for a Graded Sunday School as required by the Chrisitan Education Division of the Methodist Church of Ghana.
- A Computer Literacy Training Centre / Laboratory. One large room with can be used for this purpose is already available.
- Sunday School teaching literature and materials.
- Scholarship assistance to needy children in the Freeman Methodist Church and other identified needy children within our ministry area or neighbourhood.
- Financial support for Freeman children who attend annual long vacation / school holidays Bible School.
