{February Parent Cue} K-5th Grade Kids

(This month's Parent Cue download can be found at the bottom of this blog post.)

 

When sin entered God’s Magnificent Paradise, our relationship with Him was broken. God’s love for us was so great that He was willing to sacrifice to restore the relationship. God proved He cared about peace when He sent His Son to pay for our sins.

Peace is part of God’s character. And He wants us to reflect peace in our relationships with others. Peace is proving you care more about each other than about winning an argument.

Peace is more than just “not fighting” and saying the right things to keep people happy. Peace is living in a way that shows you care more about others than about being right. It’s about building strong relationships through mutual trust.

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?

{Toddler/Preschool} David's Story Pt.2

This month your child finished learning all about David. David's Story Pt. II- God Gives me Good Friends. The first two weeks of the month, children learned of David and Jonathan's amazing friendship. Then, they learned that David was such a good friend to Jonathan that he sought out Jonathan's remaining family and cared for Mephibosheth. During the first three weeks, preschoolers talked about what it means to be a friend, how to help and serve those around them.


Finally, preschoolers celebrated God and His friendship this past Sunday. They danced and sang and praised their heavenly Father!

Last month (October) Toddlers and Preschoolers learned that God can help us do big things. Stories included David saving his sheep from the lion, Samuel anointing David as king, David facing Goliath, and David being strong in battle.

We want to help you teach your toddlers and preschoolers about God so we've made available this fun coloring booklet that we handed out last Sunday. This way you can color with your kids and review all of the stories they learned this month as well as those they may have missed!

{Elementary} Flight Plan- Think A Little Higher

Our God spoke into the darkness and created the entire universe. He is big enough to control the wind and the rain, yet able to meet the needs of the smallest sparrow. God knows all things and still desires to hear each of our prayers.

As we learn more about who God is and what He does, respect becomes a natural response to God’s character. But not only does God have all authority, according to the Bible, He also sets up governing authorities on earth. So showing respect to those in authority over us is an extension of showing respect to God.

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!
