KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of December 13th
Just a reminder that we are moving ALL in-person services to our ONLINE CAMPUS today, Sunday, December 13th. If you did not see Drew’s message explaining this change, you can view his video HERE.
Everyone could use a little extra joy this Christmas season! We are excited to see the ways that kids are giving joy. For example, this past week we heard how Grace helped her mom clean and Corinne sang a song to her sister. These are great reminders that the little things we do matter. We hope that your kids are having fun as they work to give joy this month and fill up their Bingo cards. You can find the Bingo card HERE or we will have copies of the Bingo cards at church as well. COLOR in the boxes as you give joy. For every completed BINGO card returned - Kids Ministry will donate $5 to Beyond Partners to help strengthen families, end poverty, and seek justice. If you are joining us online, feel free to print your card at home, fill it out and email us a picture of the completed card at kidsmin@northridgerochester.com.
Make sure you check out our weekly experience guide below to lead your kids through this week’s lesson from home.
