KiDS Weekly Experience Guide & Parent Cue: week of March 14th
Can you believe it’s been a year since we went into quarantine? There have been so many events that have had to be cancelled as a result, including our Parent and Child Dedication event that was originally scheduled for last December. We are so excited to announce that we have a new date for our Parent and Child Dedication. This annual event will take place on Sunday, April 25th at all of our campuses. Parent & Child Dedication is an opportunity for parents to publicly recognize their children are a gift from God and to dedicate themselves to Christ-centered parenting. If you are interested in registering for Parent & Child Dedication, sign up here.
Last week kicked off our first week of online small groups for kids! We are thrilled to be able to provide these experiences for our families who are not yet able to join us in person. If you are interested in signing your elementary kids up for online small groups, fill out this form.
Check out this week’s resources below! Thanks for partnering with us!

Big Idea: God is big, strong, amazing, and wonderful! He made you and gave you everything you have. Give it all back to God to worship Him. Show how much you love Him!

Step 1: Watch the video with your preschoolers.
Step 2: Review with your kids.
Ask your kids: How can you worship God? (I give God all of me!)
Step 3: Practice the Memory Verse with your preschoolers.
Memory Verse: “Worship the LORD with gladness. Come before Him singing with joy...” Psalm 100:2 NLT
