KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of November 8th
It’s ORANGE SUNDAY!!! Whether you are at home or are joining us in person, we hope you are wearing orange today! Orange is a big deal in Kids Ministry because Orange represents our desire to partner with parents. We wear orange to remind everyone that the Light of the Church (yellow) + Heart of the Family (red) = Orange.
We are grateful for opportunities to partner with you to inspire faith in your kids and as we all continue to study the life of Moses, we wanted to share a fun resource with you. Today, we are passing out orange goodie bags to all of our kids (ages 2 - 5th grade). These bags contain a couple of Moses sticker scenes, a Northridge Kids magnet, and a Northridge Kids temporary tattoo. There is also a card with details about a really great devotional on Moses that we believe you and your kids will enjoy. You can locate this 5 day devotional on the free Bible app, YouVersion. Search under plans for “God of Wonders Family Devotional” or you can simply go HERE.
“In this 5 day devotional, you and your kids will explore the life of Moses and discover one of the most action-packed and exciting stories in all the Bible! From his miraculous birth to his emergence as the deliverer of God’s people, Moses’ story is nothing short of spectacular. But the true hero of this adventure is the God of Wonders who demonstrates time and again His unmatched power, wisdom, and love.”
We don’t want our orange celebration to end today so we’re extending the celebration ALL WEEK LONG!!! We sent your kids home with a Temporary Tattoo of our Kids logo and we’d love to see your kids sporting their tattoos! Take a photo of your child with their Kids tattoo and post their picture on Facebook or Instagram with the #OrangeSunday2020. We will randomly select one entry to win an Orange Prize Pack! Winner will be selected and announced on Monday, November 16th.
If you were unable to join us for Orange Sunday but would still like to participate, email us at kidsmin@northridgerochester.com and we’ll make sure to get you an orange goodie bag!
