KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of October 25th
This week is our last week learning about Integrity in our Elementary environments. Have your elementary kids earned their Swag Tags yet? If you’re not familiar with Swag Tags, Swag Tags are monthly tags that our school age kids earn for learning the monthly memory verse. These tags are small incentives that kids can attach to their bag or coat to help them remember each month’s verse and to keep track of our life applications. We have loved the enthusiasm kids have shown as they work to commit their Bible verses to memory! Every month we include our memory verse video with ASL signs to help kids learn their verses. This is a great tool to use with your kids. Check it out below by clicking on the Memory Verse Video button.
Last week we announced our upcoming Orange Sunday. We are really excited about this day! In order to maximize what we can offer that day, we have made the decision to bump Orange Sunday back a week to November 8th. To celebrate what makes Kids Ministry orange, we have a gift for every kid. Make sure you join us on Sunday, November 8th and wear orange!
