{Elementary} The Faith Flyers

Last Sunday (6/5/11), we gave out "Faith Flyers" (pictured above) to kids in our 1-3rd grade environment.  They were such a big hit that we ran out!  Kids from other environments were trying to get them as well! Kindergarteners as well as 4th & 5th Graders. It was crazy!
If you are a parent with a kid in 1-5th Grade and your child didn't get one, maybe they didn't come this past Sunday, you're probably wondering "Where can I get one for my kid(s)?"



Well, as you may know every month in our Elementary environments we talk about a different virtue (Virtue- Something God does in us to change the world around us).  A different characteristic of our Lord. And for this month we are talking about FAITH, trusting in what you can't see because of what you can see. This past Sunday we talked about You can trust in a God you can't see because you can see what he's created!

The "Faith Flyer" we handed out is a tangible reminder of this months Virtue of Faith.  As they see the little wooden airplane gliding through the air it is a reminder that Faith is trusting in what you can't see because of what you can see! And that:
  • We can trust in a God we can't see because we can see what He's created
  • We can trust that God will keep His promised because we've seen the promises he's kept.
  • You can trust God to be with you in bad times because you’ve seen how faithful He’s been.
  • You can trust that God can do the impossible because He’s God.
The makers of our curriculum 252 Basics created what they call a CUE Box.
The CUE Box is designed to help prompt you as a parent to know how and when to connect with your child about spiritual issues. By providing daily and weekly CUEs, we are hoping to make faith an integral part of your everyday lives together.

CUE Box works directly with the curriculum we are using in our 1-6th Grade environments. It is designed to work with the regular rhythms in your family life not add things to your to do list.
