February Parent Cue:: Babies to Pre-K Kids

“How wide and high and long and deep is the love of Christ,” Ephesians 3:18, NIV. Can you measure it? That’s what we’re investigating this month! Can we even measure how much Jesus loves us? How big (picture a preschooler’s arms open wide) is His love?

Summer @ New Life Kids!

This Summer at New Life Kids is going to be awesome!

We have a new group of Summer Small Group Leaders who will be with your kids during the 9:15 and 11:15 am services. They are psyched and ready to have a blast with them.


Here's what we are teaching your kids this Summer:

Preschool Ministry (Toddlers-Preschool):

Last month your kids learned the creation story, this month we continue that story to learn that GOD MAKES GOOD THINGS in our Creation Station series!

Pick up a Memory Verse card and help your child memorize Genesis 1:31 on Sunday!

"God saw all that he made, and it was very good."

Genesis 1:31, NIV

Our memory verse cards come with instructions on the hand motions to the verse.

Elementary Ministry (K-5th Grade)

This month in our Elementary Ministry kids are continuing their EPIC series. Last month we talked about TRUST... This month it's all about LOVE. Which is choosing to give someone your time and friendship no matter what.

Why is this important? Well, because we are talking about loving God. How can you love God? Jesus said you love God by loving others. 

We'll be sending home ParentCue sheets for you parents and God Time cards for the kids to do to help them explore and discover what it means to LOVE God and others. One of God's greatest commandments.

Matthew 22:39 is our memory verse for the month. Help your kids memorize it!

A Letter from A New Life Parent

Recently a parent from New Life wrote us this letter about the Parent Cue's that we give out monthly.  I wanted to share it with our parents and volunteers because it's both encouraging and inspiring. Enjoy!

Dear Rosie,

Just wanted to reach out and say thanks to you and your kids ministry team.  Let me explain why I'm particularly thankful.

A few weeks ago one of your team members gave me a Parent Cue.  I've seen these sheets of paper in the past but this time I wanted to read every single word on the page.  I was particularly motivated because I had been thinking about what I can do with my kids as we observe our Sabbath.

The Parent Cue gave me great ideas!  My favorite one was how it suggested taking Isaiah 1:17 and singing it to the tune of "farmer in the dell" and then singing it with your child.

So first I looked up the verse and I started singing it to myself and in seconds had it memorized because of the tune.  I then sang it to my kids as we played and sang it to them as I gave them a shower and soon enough they were singing it as well!

We were also given immediate opportunity to apply the verse since my two kids started to fight over some toys.  Learning to do what's right came in handy.

So that's it.  Thanks again to you and your team!  But that one little act of giving out resources you made a deposit into the spiritual atmosphere in the Sevilla home.

{Preschool} Jesus is my good Friend!

Jesus wants to be my friend forever. Isn’t that AMAZING? He wants to be MY friend. He wants to be YOUR friend. Jesus wants to be my friend, forever. What a life-changing truth. What a foundational truth. What an awesome thing to put in the hearts of our preschoolers.

I Wish Every Parent Knew...

 I Wish Every Parent Knew… that we have an awesome curriculum for your child!  New Life Kids for your preschooler NOT babysitting.  We have a plan to help your preschooler learn three basic truths while they are in our environments.  These three truths will help your child build a strong foundation that will stick with them for their entire lives. We want your child to have a friendship with God that will last forever. And it begins now in their preschool years.  We want your child to know these three truths:

{Preschool} God Can help me do ANYTHING! (Video)

Anything!

Fall is a time of change, and with that change often comes uncertainty. "What if my teacher doesn't like me? What if my friends won't play with me? What if mom forgets my snack?" Well, that's the uncertainty in the lives of our preschoolers. What about the uncertainty in our adult lives? "What if I don't have enough volunteers for promotion Sunday? What if the parents don't like the new curriculum? What if nobody shows up?" Do those what-if's sound familiar?

Why We're Going ORANGE

What's Orange?
Orange is what you get when you combine two primary colors—red and yellow.
 If you paint only with red, you will get what only red can do. If you paint only with yellow, you will get what only yellow can do. But when you paint with red and yellow, you’ll get new possibilities, fresh solutions, vibrant outcomes.


We use the color orange to symbolize what it means to parent beyond your capacity. Orange parents understand that by tapping into a wider community, they have the potential to make a greater impact in the lives of their children.

For us Red represents families. The love a family can bring to a child. Red (familes) are a great influence on the life of a child. Yellow represents the church.  The church being the light of the world and also a potentially great influence on the life of a child.  Both the Red and Yellow have an impact on a child's life individually. But what happens when you combine the two influences? You can have new, greater and different impact on the life of a child.

This is what we at New Life Fellowship are devoted to. Partnering with parents to greater impact the next generation. We want to be your biggest cheerleader. To see the life of your child(ren) significantly impacted by the love of the Father and their family. Become an orange parent today!
