{Elementary} "Wrapped Up" Top Secret Site

Our Top Secret Site for Christmas!

Since we will not have Elementary Programing for kids in Elementary school we've created this website where they will be able to hear the bible story online!

The only thing is... they will need a TOP SECRET Code to view it.  So, on December 18th we'll be giving them a TOP SECRET envelope with the code and other fun activities they can do at home and/or at church on Christmas morning!

{Elementary} Snacks Unpacked!

(Taken from our NL Kids e-Newsletter)

I’ve been debating for a while whether or not our Elementary kids need to have snack during service. Most kids are only here for one service, which is probably around 55 min to 1hr 15min. Do they really need a snack and is it really a necessary part of the class?

We’ve thought long and hard about it and have decided that we will no longer serve snacks in our Elementary rooms (K-5) on Sunday’s Beginning January 2011.  It wasn’t an easy decision to make. There were many things we had to consider in making this decision.

So, we would like to share with you how we came to this decision:
 

Snack Fact #1:
It costs a lot of money to have snacks.  We have around 100-120 elementary a weekend during the school year and when you add up the cost of animal crackers, cheese crackers, cups and apple juice for that many kids 52 weekends a year, the cost will actually shock you.

Snack Fact #2:
We have many kids with severe food allergies. To assure that each child is safe and healthy we want to leave the food choices in the hands of parents.

Snack Fact #3:
We have so many fun, exciting and powerful ways that we want to introduce worship and other spiritual growth activities on Sunday Mornings, but do not have the time because of the time we take out to serve and eat snacks. Many times we even have to hold off on our learning activities in Small Group because we’re eating snacks.

In light of this change we want to encourage you to be sure to give your child a snack/breakfast before bringing them to church. Or let them know they will eat a snack after church. Or perhaps come a little early and bring them to the Shell room to grab a quick bagel with butter before service begins.

We thank you for your understanding as we strive to create a healthy, safe and dynamic environment where your child can get to know their Creator who loves them immensely.

(P.S. We will continue to serve snacks in our Toddler and Preschool environments.)

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:

Effective Family Time

 

The goal for effective family time is to focus on at least a few ways to connect with your kids.  It can feel a bit overwhelming when trying to establish family time in your home. So, what things can help you cultivate meaningful, yet simple family times?

{Elementary} What's My Kid Learning!?

Ever wonder what curriculum we are using for kids K-5th grade?  Well, wonder no more. We use a curriculum called 252 Basics. We consider it more of a strategy than a curriculum. It's all a part of this think we call THINKING ORANGE. But I digress.

What is it?

Elementary-age kids are in a constant state of discovery. Think about all the different things they are trying for the first time and what they’re learning every day, even how to make (and keep) friends.

How can we tap into the way kids are naturally wired to discover‚ so they can begin to experience for themselves who God is, how He sees them and how much He loves them?

How can we show them God’s big story and help them discover the active part they can play in this life-long adventure, to be more like Him?

252 BASICS curriculum and resources PROVOKE DISCOVERY, inviting kids to live out their new understanding of how to grow in relationship with God and with others.

Thinking Orange PROVOKES DISCOVERY in the heart of a child.

Here is an overview or the Big Picture of what we are teaching your kids using 252 Basics:

{Preschool} October- Fantastically Made! (Video)

We want our preschoolers to know without a doubt that their heavenly Father made them and adores them. We want our preschoolers to know that God made them wonderfully. He made them with a plan and a purpose. He made them to praise Him. God made them, each and every

We're Moving UP!

Dear Parents,

I pray that all is well with you and your families after our encounter with Tropical Storm Irene. We are thanking God that the storm wasn't as bad as we had anticipated it would be.

School will be starting for New York City school kids in about 1 week, which means you are probably in "Back to School" mode getting the kids ready to head back.  Well the same is true for

{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?

{Elementary} September- Grow Up! (Video added)

 Knowledge

Have you ever noticed that when you ask a kid a question in church, their default answer, if they don’t really know the answer, will be “God?” Or coming in a close second—hand frantically waving in the air—“Jesus!”

And really, most questions can be answered in some way with God or Jesus. That’s because God is the ultimate source of knowledge—and that’s the characteristic of God we’re learning about this month as we kick off a new school year. It’s in the story of God that we find the character of God, so we’re headed to the Gospel of Luke to learn from His Son, Jesus, as He grew up.

Did you know that the Bible only gives us one story and one comment on the life of Jesus from the time He was a preteen until He’s a thirty-something starting His ministry? It’s our memory verse for the month (Luke 2:52) and it tells us that Jesus spent time studying God’s Word, and that He grew in His relationship with God, in His ability to make wise choices and in His ability to love others.

{Preschool} God Knows What's Best for Me!

Hello Preschool Parents!
(That's any parent with a Toddler-Preschooler)

God knows what's best for me. He does. That's easy to say, isn't it? He knows best. The Bible says so. We see example after example of it in both stories of old and our friends' lives. However, when we're in the middle of a trial, when we have to make the hard choice rather than the easy one, that's when it's hard to see. Even then, God knows what's best.

Here's a little teaser as to some of the things we'll be exploring in September in our 1-6th Grade Elementary environments.

{Preschool} July 2011 Video

Hello Parents!

This month kids in our Nursery will be hearing over and over that God loves me. What a great truth that you can repeat with your little one at home.  So as they go about playing, getting their diaper changed and eating a yummy meal they'll hear that God loves them.

No child is too small to hear that powerful truth. Our prayer is that every Preschooler who enters

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!

{Preschool} Car Time Activity- June 2011

This Sunday our Toddler's Preschoolers and Kindergarteners learned that the Bible teaches me about God!

{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)?"

{Preschool} Play Time Activity for June- Week 1

This past Sunday Toddlers, Preschoolers and Kindergarteners learned that because God loves them, He will teach them what they need to do.  They even hear the story of the 10 Commandments!

{Elementary} 1-6th Grade ministry Sabbatical

In our latest Summer 2011 Newsletter we announced that their will be no programming for kids 1-6th grade for the month of August. Here is why behind it:

The Children's Ministry of New Life Fellowship has gone through numerous changes over the past 9 months or so. One major change was that of the transition of Children's Pastor Linda Johnson to Rosie Villodas. As you know transitions take a lot of work and time to be done well. A lot of behind the scenes work was going on during this time.  Besides that, there are many changes that have occurred since then:

{Elementary} CUE Box

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.

Download a CUE Box FAQ for more info.

The Cue Box is coming to an Elementary Environment near you!

{Elementary} Share your Faith Story

Dear Parents,

This month your children are learning about faith—trusting in what you can’t see because of what you can see. They’ll be learning about several “heroes of the faith,” who trusted God and experienced amazing things as a result.

{Elementary} KidVenture: Bear Mountain Hike

New Life Kids is having a KidVenture event for kids in 4th-6th Grade and their families!  Once again we are headed out hiking at Bear Mountain.  This is always so much fun.  You and your kids don't want to miss out on the beautiful sights of God's creation.

Bucket List

 
Few things are more useful than a bucket. A bucket is simple genius, really. There's almost no end to what you can do with a bucket. Put it on your head and you're ready to go jousting. Turn it upside down and you can reach the cookies on the top shelf. Bail water out of your boat, slop the pigs, or play trashketball with one--what you put IN the bucket is key.

We tend to put things in buckets that are important to us. Things that we don't want to let go of, burdensome things, as often as not, like pain, hurt, disappointment, and disillusionment. And we

{Guest Post} 2011 EHS Conference Attendee

 Hi there all at New Life Fellowship,

I just want to thank you for the time you invested in us this past week. I can say it was a landmark event in our lives. It will have a far reaching effect. I want to share some of the immediate results of the conference with you for your encouragement and as a testimony of our great savior.

We have five children and homeschool them. Their ages are 12, 10 , 8, 6 and 4. So the whole idea of being contemplative seemed at first a little hard to do, but then God really showed me that it is something that I could teach the children to do even now. So the first Sunday when we got home, my husband lead our family in a lesson about Samuel and how even in the Bible God speaks to children. So he told them to spend some quiet itme with God and listen. We had talked to them about this before, but it was always more reading your bible to get something not just quieting your heart. My oldest daught had expressed to me that she was worried that she wouldn't be able to hear God. But I encouraged her that the goal was to just be with God and enjoy him, not always to hear something. (This was something that I learned at the conference) So after our quiet time, we asked the children if they had heard anything that they would like to share. Our oldest

{Elementary} April:: Week 1 **NEW BIG IDEA!

This week kicks off a new virtue, that of humility. We’ve defined humility as putting others first by giving up what you think you deserve. 

It’s natural for kids to think “me, me, me.” God designed babies and small children to be concerned about themselves: they demand attention when they need something. Otherwise, they wouldn’t get what they need to thrive. With age and maturity, God enables them to gradually start taking into account others’ needs. (Most are able to put themselves in someone else’s shoes around the age of seven.) But they need adults to guide them to do this. No one is a better example of humility than Jesus. He left heaven—His rightful place—to come here, after all! He consistently showed us how important we are to Him. And He wants us to do the same for others. “I, your Lord

Drive 2011

*Previously posted on Rosie's Blog.

So I'm getting ready to go to Drive 2011!  I'm so hype (definition- excited, thrilled) because (1) I will not have a toddler sleeping in the next room (ie. a full nights rest) Woo Hoo! (2) Northpoint Community Church, and their Children's Ministry, do so many things so well. I can't wait to learn what they've learned these last 15 years. Or at least what I'll be able to retain. :) (3) I can't wait to connect with other people across the country doing the same thing I'm doing... Children's Minsitry or as we like to call it #kidmin!

Baby Items to be given away

One of our New Life families, the Murrays, will be moving away shortly and it will be sad to see them go. As they prepare to leave, they have some items that they are willing to give away. Here are the items:

- Graco infant car seat and base

- Graco snap and go stroller that works with the above (sometimes you need an extra nudge to get this open from its closed position, but once its snapped open it's good to go)
- Baby Einstein baby play center

- Older baby/toddler car: child sits on it and moves it with feet

- Baby walker

- Pack-n-Play (great for overnight trips)

- Medela Pump in Style

Our Featured Volunteer

Periodically we will be featuring one of our volunteers in different ways.  This is so you can get to know who is contributing to the 40 hours WE, the church, have with your kids a year.  We want to help you put a face and a name together as you hear about what your kids are learning about on Sundays.

{Preschool} New Music!

This past Sunday our Preschool and Kindergarten kids got to listen to and watch a music DVD called Little Praise Party: My Best Friend by Yancy and Friends.  They loved it!  And so did most of our parents.  So much so they were asking where they can buy it.

Are You Tired Yet? by Susan Maysonet

Over our vacation last week I read "Loving our Children on Purpose" by Danny Silk. Silk teaches that giving kids choices as much as possible is preferable to giving kids punishments.  This will give them opportunities to learn how to make wise decisions for themselves and allows the

{Nursery-Preschool} Jump into the light!

Hi Preschool Parents

Kids love to sing and dance and we think its a great way for them to enjoy God and to learn about Him.

Some of you might have heard from your preschool children a new song that we taught them this past month. Its called, "Jump into the Light" by Jana Alayra. You can buy her music on her website: http://www.janaalayra.com/music.aspx?n=341450

Here's a youtube video of some kiddies singing! Show your kids the video and singalong with them! :)


Here are the words:
Jump, Jump, Jump
Jump, jump, jump into the light, light, light;
Run, run, run, away from what's not right;
Jump, jump, jump, out of the dark, dark, dark;
Run to Jesus, give Him your heart.
He is the light, He is the light, He is the light,

Courage 

being brave enough to do what you should do even when you're afraid.

Can you guess what the story is?

Courage doesn’t mean we won’t be afraid, but it DOES mean not letting our fears keep us from doing what we should do. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are prime examples. Faced with a

Hi New Life Parents,

Having a rough week?  Here is a little clip to bring a smile on your face laughter to your soul.  Enjoy!



Rosie V.

{Elementary} March:: Fear Factor

Is bravery or courage really the same thing as fearlessness, being free from fear? Perhaps you're thinking that one man's "brave" is another man's "stupid." After all, fear is natural and normal in certain situations and keeps us healthy. Fear prompts us to flee from avalanches. A reasonable fear of germs reminds us to wash our hands. "Fear" of one's parents, or at least of losing privileges, encourages teens to get home by curfew. A lack of fear can land us in a heap of trouble. But then so can the opposite extreme: living in fear.

God knows this world can be a scary place, and all of us at some point will need true grit in order to stand up to it. Thankfully, God doesn't expect us not to be afraid (check out this month's memory verse, Psalm 56:3). But just as important, He doesn't want us to live enslaved to fear either (2 Timothy 1:7). So, no, we can't really expect to live free of fear but we CAN live free from fear.

{Elementary} Big Idea:: Virtues & God's Word

By the time children reach the sixth grade, we want them to understand and own these 3 Basic Truths:

• I need to make the wise choice.
• I can trust God no matter what.
• I should treat others the way I want to be treated.

so they are reinforced each week.

We also focus on a core virtue each month. This virtue is supported by the weekly bottom line—the learning aim for the day. On the whole, we utilize Bible stories, a core virtue, and a memory verse each month while offering engaging presentations of the 3 Basic Truths.

{Elementary} Small Group Pics

Here are some great pictures of our 1-3rd graders playing games and learning about Kindness.  This past weeks bottom line was:

Treat others as if they belong to God.

{Preschool-Nursery} Security Wristbands: Keeping our kids safe!

Hi Parents,

As many of you have noticed in the Little Lambs (2-3 year old) Room, we have been trying to implement a security procedure to ensure the safety of your children. Soon, we will also be expanding this security procedure to the PreK-Kindergarten and Nursery Rooms (DATE TBD). As big as New Life Fellowship has grown, I love that we still maintain a small community feel. Although we know many of the regular attendees, we average approximately 5-10 new and visiting families and children each week along with a large rotation of volunteers. We, the leadership felt that for the safety of our children, we would like to work towards bettering this system.

Our goal is to create a safe, loving environment where the children will thrive as they learn and play. 

A Great Parent Blog

No matter how old your "child" is (birth-18), Orange Parents is a great blog to follow.  When you get a chance click on over and read their articles.

What Happens at Home...

 Hi Parents!

We (The Church) have, on average, 40 hours with your kids every year (Taking into account sick days, holidays, travel for sports).  You (Parents) have, on average, over 3,000 hours with your children yearly.

So as I thought about this fact and prayed about what our Children's Ministry can do to impact the lives of the kids at New Life Fellowship, it became very clear that we can't do it alone. No one has more potential to influence a child's relationship with God than you. That's why we say at New Life fellowship...

"What happens at home, in many ways, is more important than what happens at church."

{Elementary} February: Kindness

Hi Elementary School Parents,

We are approaching February, a new month, and that means a... NEW VIRTUE!  Here's a sneak peak of what kids will be seeing this coming Sunday.

A Virtue is something God does in us, to change the world around us!

Now doesn't that look like fun! ;) We will be talking about Kindness for the entire month of February.

Kindness is showing others they are valuable by how you treat them.

We Heart our NLK Volunteers!

Parents!

Fueling our children's ministry is our awesome team of volunteers! On Sunday, Feb 13th, we want to shower our teacher's with love and we will be doing something special for them! Help us express our love and appreciation for their service to our children by taking a moment to write a short note of thanks and appreciation.

Please fill out by Feb 7th!

{Elementary} What's Up with the Refrigerator Door & God Time Cards?!

About Refrigerator Door Cards (Parent Cue)

Refrigerator Door Cards are weekly updates for parents about what their children learned in large and small group.

Here's how to get the most out of your Fridge Door Card:

• Read and familiarize yourself with the virtue for the month, and today's question.
• Read the scripture references for "Today's Bible Story"
• Ask your child(ren) "Today's Question" as a starting point for talking about what they are learning about God and themselves.

 

About God Time Cards
God Time Cards are weekly devotions for kids and parents to do together (K–3rd grade), or for older kids (4th–6th grade) to do on their own.  This is not homework and will not be checked by our teachers.  We are providing these cards to help create opportunities for the kids to spend time with God and in His Word. To encourage spiritual growth in the children.

Here's how to help your child get the most out of their God Time Card:

• There are 4 different devotions on one God Time Card. Don't worry if your child doesn't do them all.  One is better than none!
• Teach your child how to find verses in the Bible by showing them how to use the table of contents. 
• Encourage them to read the verses out loud, especially for those in the early stages of learning to read.
• Guide your child to read and do the activity.
• Pray a simple, short prayer aloud with your child, using the prayer suggestion as a guide.

Each God Time Card looks different, but the sections/categories are the same.  Here are some additional guides on how to help your child participate in God Time during the week based on Grade.

Guide for K-1st grade God Time Card. 

Guide for 2-3rd grade God Time Card. 

Guide for 4-6th grade God Time Card.
