welcome, parents & kids-
Each weekend, we have kid-friendly, interactive, and fun biblical programming for our kids. Children will hear a great Bible truth and will be challenged to live it in their lives. On the following pages, you'll find the lessons we learned this week in kids' church so that you can reinforce them at home.
Preschool
This week, the preschoolers began to learn to show love to their families.
Our Bible Story: Cain Kills Abel (Genesis 4)
Our Key Concept: God Wants Us to Love Our Families
Our Activity: We made heart necklaces with drawn pictures of our families to remind us that God wants us to love our families.
Something You Can Do With Me: Whenever we eat a meal together as a family, go around the table and say what you love about your family.
Elementary
This week, we continued in our new series, Get Real. For the next few weeks, we'll be taking a look at what it means to have authentic faith in Jesus in a superficial world. This week, we took a look at the Biblical account of Simon found in Luke 7:36-50. We learned about humility and the importance of not judging others from the outside but looking for the heart of everyone.
Memory Verse: "Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.." Philippians 2:3
A question you can ask me about the lesson: What is one way that we've judged those around us and how can we change to do better?
This weekend in small groups: We played a guessing game and tried to guess what was in paper bags by feeling them and not looking inside. We talked about how difficult it was to determine what objects were in the bags without seeing the inside, just like it's difficult to see peoples' intentions without knowing their hearts.
jump wednesdays
JUMP is a way to power up mid-week with a faith booster. JUMP offers a fun and exciting way to grow in faith during the week.
We had a great 1st week back at JUMP! Don't worry if you missed it, kids are welcome to join at any time! Parents, take a look below to see what your kids learned this week.
Our preschoolers started a lesson series called Allaso Ranch Jr. For the coming weeks, they'll be attending a western camp and learning all about what God created them to do and who He created them to be!
In the Lower Deck, the kids got to know each other and learned some important words to help them understand more and more about the Bible.
The Upper Deck kids learned about how important friends are and the influence they can have on friends, as well as how their friends can influence them in either a positive or negative way.
