Welcome to Deep Sea Discovery! Get ready for a life-changing adventure taking place right here at Lincoln Christian Church.

Each day begins at Celebration Reef, where kids will sing, shout, praise, pray, and be introduced to people from the Bible and the daily theme. Then after kids experience the other activities of the day, they gather back at Celebration Reef to be encouraged to love God and to be motivated to serve others.

Other sites at Deep Sea Discovery include S.S. Discovery, where kids will explore the Bible story; Pelican Pier where kids fill up on snacks; and Curiosity Cavern, where kids explore the mysteries of the sea through crafts! All these fun activities connect to the Bible story, Bible Memory, and the truth that God is with us wherever we go! Sunday night, June 26, is Family Night! Parents accompany kids to get a “sneak peek” at VBS and have tons of family fun!

The staff is waiting for some brave deep-sea divers to join them in serving and having fun! Register today! Call 217-732-7618.

Kid’s Worship at Lincoln Christian Church
June 2016 In the Doghouse—‘Siblings’


Summer is here! And maybe with it a little sibling rivalry! The Bible has a lot to teach us about how to get along with our siblings! Make sure your kids join us during the month of June. We will look at how we get along with our siblings as we:
•Control our anger
•Respond honestly
•Encourage one another
•Forgive one another.

Our key verse for the month is John 15:12, which says, “Love each other.” Such simple words, but sometimes hard to put into action! During June we will work on equipping our kids to live this verse out at home every day! Plan to join us for Kids’ Worship every week!

Moms and Dads, here is what we will be exploring if you want to talk about it with your kids at home:
•Cain Kills His Brother in Anger. . .We show God’s love by controlling anger (Genesis 4:2-16).
•Jacob Steals His Brother’s Blessing. . .We show God’s love by being honest (Genesis 27:1-45).
•Joseph is Sold Into Slavery. . . We show God’s love by encouraging each other (Genesis 37:3-36).
•Story of the Lost Son. . .We follow God’s love by forgiving each other (Luke 15:11-32).
