			Welcome to Deep Sea

			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).
 
 JOIN US 
			FOR A "FARM-TASTIC" VBS AT ZION LUTHERAN CHURCH

			Roundup VBS" June 27-July 1; 6:15-8:00 p.m.
