			 KIDS WORSHIP—September 2019
 THE BIG DIG
 
			Sin sure messed a lot of things up! From Adam and Eve’s sin in the 
			Garden forward, sin has caused a lot of trouble. As we begin the new 
			school year In Kids Worship, we will discover trusting God to 
			forgive us, keep His promises, provide for us, help us, and help us 
			do things for Him. These things will help our faith grow and lead us 
			to victory even when the circumstances of life make it seem 
			impossible. During the month of September, we will DIG DEEP into the 
			Bible to see how these truths will impact our lives and those around 
			us. Our focus for the month is “God’s Character.” Psalm 33:4 is our 
			key verse: “We can trust everything God does.”
 
 If you would like to review this month’s series with your child, the 
			titles, texts and themes (in italics) are listed below.
 
 • God Sends a Rainbow. Genesis 6:9–7:10; 8:13–17; 9:8-13.
 We can trust God to keep His promises.
 • God Appears to Abram in a Vision. Genesis 15:1–6; 21:1–5.
 We know that God provides for us.
 • The Israelites Drink Bitter Water. Exodus 15:22–26.
 We can look to God for help.
 • Samuel Anoints David King. 1 Samuel 16:1–13.
 We can do great things with God.
 • Jesus Heals a Paralyzed Man. Mark 2:1–12; Romans 5:8.
 We can forgive others as we’ve been forgiven.

			GOOD NEWS  
			50th YEAR  REUNION & CONCERT  
			MAY 23-24, 2020!
 
			Calling all GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors! We are so 
			excited to announce the 50th year of GOOD NEWS will be celebrated 
			with a reunion and concert, May 23–24, 2020! We will rehearse on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with the big reunion concert at 6:00 
			p.m. on Sunday, May 24 (Memorial Day weekend) at Lincoln Christian 
			University. Mark your calendar now! We will bring
 back as many of the former GOOD NEWS directors as possible. The 
			Reunion Choir will sing a favorite song from each decade as well as 
			hear from the current Good News and T.R.A.S.H. This will be a blast! 
			Please plan to join us!
 
 GOOD NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY began in 1971. Created from the Youth 
			Choir of Lincoln Christian Church, Keith Davenport added the 
			dimension of touring with the “Good News” of Jesus. There have been 
			close to 1,000 students who have been in GOOD NEWS over the last 50 
			years, (we are still counting!) with hundreds of dedicated sponsors 
			who have traveled with our students.
 
 GOOD NEWS has shared the Good News of Jesus Christ in concerts in 43 
			states and Canada. On our 2019 tour next week we add #41 (Utah), #42 
			(Montana) and #43 (North Dakota).
 
 GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors (and parents!), we have created 
			several ways for you to stay in contact to receive all of the 
			information about the Reunion Concert.
 
 To update your contact information, register for the Reunion 
			Concert, send e-invites to fellow GOOD NEWSers, share photos (we 
			need your photos, especially the formal group shots), videos, and 
			stories, and once you have registered to sing in the Reunion 
			Concert, receive a link to download the concert music, go to: 
			www.lincolnchristianchurch.org/GN50 , Check social media (Facebook, 
			Instagram, Twitter) with #GoodNews50, email us at GN50@lincolnchristianchurch.org.
 
 Join us in May 2020 to celebrate the legacy and continued ministry 
			of GOOD NEWS! We can’t wait to see all of you gathered together to 
			once again proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in song!
