KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of October 4th
Happy October! As we begin a new month on the calendar, our kids ministry environments also begin a new month of curriculum.
Our Preschoolers will spend the month learning about David and Goliath. Preschoolers will learn about David who the BIble tells us was a man after God’s own heart. A heart that matches God’s heart is ready to do what is good! But how do you know if your heart matches God’s heart? Preschoolers will be learning that they can get to know God by through the Bible, singing to God, and praying.
Our Elementary students will be learning all about Integrity this month. Living with integrity means that we choose to be truthful in whatever we say and do. Since the very beginning, not only has God has been true to His word but He’s been faithful in His character. Because we know that God is good, we can live life with integrity. When Jesus lived on earth, He lived a perfect life that we were unable to live. Through His Spirit, we can become people of integrity. Who we are in private should match who we are in public. When we trust in God, we can be truthful in whatever we say and do. There’s no need to hide or pretend. We can drop the act and choose to be who God made us to be.
We hope you will find the resources below as you lead your kids this week!
