JULY 2026

We understand that Kids and Students are currently finishing their existing grade levels in school at this time of year. At ONE&ALL, we transition everyone to their next grade during the first weekend of August.  

 

We pray for a beautiful summer, making great memories, enjoying the wonderful things that summer vacation can bring. 

 

Here is what's happening in both the Kids & Youth ministries.    

 

Parents, we are here for you! Reach out to us if you need us!

 

With love,

Suzanne Martel & The Next-Gen Team

 

KID BAPTISMS INFO

Baptism is a beautiful step of faith—a public declaration of the inward transformation God has done in your life.

 

We advise parents to wait until their child is asking to be baptized before beginning the baptism process at
ONE&ALL. Your child’s curiosity and interest are usually a good indication that they are ready to be baptized
and that they are prepared for this spiritual milestone in their life. While kids under the age of 6 can have a
relationship with Jesus, they likely will not remember or understand the significance of this decision, so we
encourage parents to wait until they are a little older for baptism. 

WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

INFANT-5YRS

We continue discovering more about what it means to grow in our faith.  When we have a relationship with Jesus, He helps us love others in the same way He loves us. We have faith that Jesus will be our friend forever because He is preparing a place for us.   

    

Memory Verse: "Walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us" Ephesians 5:2 NIV 

 

6YRS-4TH GRADE

We continue to discover more about what it means to grow in our faith.  When we see how God has been faithful in the past, we are able to have faith that God will continue to care for us in the future.   

 

Memory Verse: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is a gift of God"  Ephesians 2:8 NIV

 

5TH GRADE

This month, we will review all that they have learned this month.  We are preparing them for Youth Ministry, which they will start the first weekend in August.   

  

Memory Verse: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast" Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV

YOUTH PARENT VISION MEETING

 

Calling all Youth parents, you are invited!  On July 22nd at 6 PM on all campuses, we are having a vision night to set up all parents and leaders for the next season of O&A Youth at ONE&ALL. We will talk through the vision & mission of the church, the ways our Youth team accomplishes this vision, and a peek behind the curtain into the future of ONE&ALL Youth’s discipleship plan. So mark your calendars!

 

This vision night will be led by each campus Youth Pastor and will allow you to hear their heart for the ministry and ask them questions as you partner with them to lead students on your campus!

 

Light refreshments will be provided.  Childcare will not be provided.

YOUTH SUMMER SCHEDULE

As we enter July, we understand that summer vacations are planned, students have summer school, and many fun day activities are planned within the family dynamic, and we have our Youth at Summer Camp!  Weekend group gatherings, along with ONE Night, are not on the schedule for the month of July.   This also allows us time for leader development. We pray that our students enjoy this break!    

 

With love,
