KIDS WORSHIP FOR MAY


Jesus’ Miracles

It seems every generation proclaims, “we live in a changing world.” Ours is no different. We read about kids experiencing more and more anxiety and worry at younger and younger ages. The storms of life are real. They are real for adults
and kids. Some may seem simple to “fix.” Passing the spelling test is a real worry, so study a little more. Making the cancer go away in someone we love requires a different solution, but both problems cause anxiety. During the month of May, we will look at how God works in our lives to help us with difficult issues. We will explore miracles Jesus did. We will look at the powerful work of Jesus that continues today! While we long for the miracle, we will also discover that even when the answer is not “yes,” hope remains sure. Fear is often at the door, yet, the Jesus who did miracles
in Galilee is with us today just the same as he was in a boat with the disciples. Today, he is available to provide for our deepest needs. Through this series, we pray our kids will learn they can depend on Jesus when the storms of life swell.

Our key verse for this month is Psalm 77:14; “You are the God of great wonders! You demonstrate your awesome power among the nations.” Moms and Dads, if you would like to talk with your kids about our study the topics are listed below:
• Jesus Heals the Deaf and Mute Man. Mark 7:31–37. We ask Jesus to heal us.
• Jesus Brings Jairus’ Daughter Back to Life. Mark 5:22–24,35–42. We hope in Jesus.
• Jesus Calms the Storm. Luke 8:22–25. We go to Jesus when we’re afraid.
• Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand. John 6:1–14. We trust God to provide.

KIDS WORSHIP—June 2018
Kid Serve—Service

 

You’ve Got Talent! Television features people with all kinds of talents. Contestants are judged by a panel of experts and at home by audiences. They either stay or are rejected. It’s not like that with God. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things He planned for us long ago.” God has plans for each of you that only you can do. It could be performing in front of others, or nothing like that at all! God has given you special gifts to serve Him. Be eager to discover them and use them to the very best of your ability. Join us in Kids Worship during the month of June and discover how you can serve God with your talents!

Our key verse for this month is Deuteronomy 13:4, “Serve only the Lord your God and fear Him alone. Obey His commands, listen to His voice, and cling to Him.” Moms and Dads, if you would like to talk with your kids about our study the topics are listed below.

Bezalel the Master Craftsman. Exodus 35:30–33;36:1-6.
We use our special gifts to serve God.

Joseph Serves in Potiphar’s House. Genesis 39:1–6.
We serve others because we love God.

Joshua’s Family Serves God. Joshua 24:14–18.
We serve God with our family.

The Good Samaritan. Luke 10:30–37.
We serve everyone because God wants us to.

Kick-Off Event for Families


Our VBS Kick-Off this year is planned for Sunday, June 10, 3:00–5:00 p.m. This event is a fun time for families to get together and a time to invite our friends! This year in addition to games and inflatables, we will have pony rides for kids. To ride the ponies kids must be at least 3 years old and cannot weigh more than 100 pounds. In addition, children MUST wear tennis shoes. Those wearing sandals or flip-flops will not be allowed to ride the ponies. Most people will receive the message, but we would like to be prepared for those who might not come with appropriate shoes. So, if you have a clean pair of kids tennis shoes that you could donate, we will try to collect a variety of sizes for guests who may need them. After the event we will donate the shoes to a charity.

*A reminder, this year’s Kick -Off will be one week prior to VBS. That’s something different this year, but we are hoping this will give us an even greater opportunity to register more kids for VBS!
