KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of May 23rd
If your family has been a part of Northridge Kids for a while, no doubt you’ve heard us talk about how we are passionate about partnering with parents! We love that not only does our Kids Ministry offer opportunities to partner with parents but our Outreach team is also excited to partner with families. One of our partner ministries is called David’s Refuge. David’s Refuge provides respite, resources and support to parents and guardians of children with special needs or life threatening medical conditions where they will be refreshed, restored, and renewed.
For any David’s Refuge parents that are new to our ministry, we would love to partner with you in two ways. First, by subscribing to our blog, you will receive a weekly email with resources to lead your kids throughout the week. Below you will find resources for both Preschool (ages 2-5) and Elementary (Kindergarten-5th grade). You can choose to walk your kids step by step through this weekly experience or pick and choose which tools are most helpful for reviewing what your kids learned. If you are a looking for a more personal experience at one of our three campuses, you can fill out this form and we will be in touch with you this week.
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. Hope you can enjoy this beautiful week!

Step 2: Review with your kids.
Ask your kids: How do you make the right choice? (I ask God! God helps me make the right choice!)
