KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of October 18th
We hope that you and your family are enjoying the beautiful fall weather and are enjoying all the things that make fall in Rochester so amazing! Last week we shared some resources for you to use to help review each week’s lessons with your kids at home. This week, we have one more resource we want to share with our parents of preschoolers. Our preschoolers have been using the Bible App for Kids curriculum. One of the best things about this curriculum is that there are a bunch of resources to accompany the curriculum. If you haven’t done so already, make sure you download the free Bible App for Kids app. There is also a Bible that you can purchase to use at home. To learn more about the app or the Bible, click here to learn more. Finally, there are some extra parent resources that you can use to help keep the conversation going!
Finally, make sure that you and your kids attend one of our campuses on Sunday, November 1st! We will be having a orange day and would love to see all of our kids representing Kids Ministry by wearing something orange that day! Check back next week for more details about this fun Sunday.
Check out our weekly experience guide below!
