			God’s Nature is the theme for Kids Worship during the 
			month of September. That’s a pretty big concept, and we are going to 
			be finding out that our Creator deepens our relationship with Him. 
			The paths that our kids must walk everyday can be tough. Sin and the 
			destruction it brings is around them and they are aware of it. 
			During this series 
			kids will discover that God is present with us today in all of our 
			moments just as He was with Moses, Job, and Isaac. This series will 
			conclude with John’s call to love others. If you would like to 
			encourage and review this study with your child, the weekly topics 
			and scriptural verses are listed below (the weekly point is listed 
			in italics). During this month 
			we will focus on a key verse from Psalm 47:7, “God is the King over 
			all the earth.”
 Moses and the Burning Bush. Exodus 3:1–15. We know God never 
			changes.
 God Speaks to Job. Job 38–39. We’re thankful God made everything.
 God Gives Isaac a Wife. Genesis 24:1–51. We trust God’s plan for us.
 Moses Sees God on the Mountain. Exodus 33:12–23. We worship a 
			perfect God.
 John Teaches About God’s Love. 1 John 4:7–21. We love others because 
			God loves us
 
 
			LINCOLN CHRISTIAN CHURCH 
			204 N. McLean St., Lincoln   
			KIDS CLUB KICK OFF Wednesdays | 6:30–7:45 p.m.
   
			This fall we will continue our Going Vertical Series. 
			Kids will be moving into a study of the New Testament. We will begin with studying the Gospels and seeing Jesus’ interaction with 
			people around Him, how they came to follow Him and how we can too! 
			The second half of the semester, we will discover how the church 
			took off by looking at letters of
 encouragement to the Church, then and now, and find out about Jesus’ 
			promise to return. That’s a lot, but we are excited to make this 
			journey together, helping kids grow in their knowledge and faith! 
			Every week, leaders will connect with our kids, building 
			relationships with them. One of our goals is for kids to know 
			caring, loving adults who follow Jesus and set a godly example in 
			life. In addition to all of the above, our kids will have the 
			opportunity to continue making an impact in Kenya. Last fall kids 
			learned that the Pokot children (served by our missionary Barb 
			O’Donohue) needed about 100 school uniforms in order to attend 
			school. We have almost met our goal but need a few more sweaters. 
			Each time our kids give enough to purchase a part of a uniform (a 
			pair of shorts, a shirt, a dress, or a sweater), they add that piece 
			to our wall. It has grown a lot and we hope to complete our goal 
			this fall!
