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 Note from a Small Group Leader

This past Sunday after the last child was picked up by their parent we asked our volunteers for some highlights of their day. Here's a highlight from one of our K-1 Boys small group leaders, Joanne.

"It was the end of the lesson and Mindy and I were getting ready to pray with the boys.  I asked them to bow their heads and close their eyes- which they all did!  Yay!  And then I started praying.  To my great surprise, the boys started repeating my prayer!  (I hadn't asked them to.)  It was so cool!!!!!!  So I started praying again, this time one sentence at a time, and they would repeat each sentence. And then we all ended with "Amen!"  I think what surprised me the most was that I hadn't asked them to repeat the prayer.  They just started doing it on their own. Perhaps it was the Holy Spirit touching their hearts.  :)

What an honor and privilege to serve Our Lord and these little people.  They're so cute!!!   "

We so enjoy listening to, praying with, laughing with and learning from your kids. When we have moments with them, like the one described above it makes our heart smile.

Please let us know how we can help you have special "God moments" with your kids. A good place to start is by using the Parent Cues we distribute weekly. We want to be your biggest cheerleader as you lead your child to know our loving Heavenly Father.

Thanks for bringing your kids! We love hanging with them!
