KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of May 16th
We hope that you find this weekly experience guide helpful as you lead your families. If you are a new to our blog, we wanted to make you aware of an additional resource that we provide to help you guide your families. Each week our Kids Ministry team texts a question to discuss as a family at mealtime. These questions are designed to get your whole family talking and to help your kids apply what they learned at church this week. Click here to learn more and sign up to receive the Northridge Kids text blasts.
NEXT LEVEL EVENT: We have LOVED having our 5th graders be a part of Kids Ministry for so many years! Some of them have been a part of Northridge Kids Ministry since they were born. We will be sad to see them graduate from our ministry but we are so excited to see them move up into NYM, our middle and high school ministry. To help our current 5th graders and their parents, NYM is hosting this special event to introduce them to our NYM team and help them know what to expect. This event will be held both at our Rochester Campus and our Webster Campus directly after our last service. We will have content recorded for the Online Campus. We hope to see you June 6th, 2021 from 12:30PM to 1:30PM. More information to come but for now, save this date to your calendar!
Check out this week’s resources below! Have a great week!
