Hi Familiies!

Here are some updates for this coming Sunday

This month in seedlings…

In the month of February we are teaching preschoolers the Big Deal, “Deep and Wide! God Loves Me!” Preschoolers will see incredible examples of God’s love throughout the Bible as they learn that God loved first, loves best, more, and always.

This week preschoolers will hear the story of Adam and Eve from Genesis 2–3 as we teach that God loved first. God made Adam and Eve and gave them this rule because He knew what was best for them. Even when Adam and Eve disobeyed God and suffered consequences for their sin, God still loved them. In His love and kindness, God sent Adam and Eve out of the garden so they would not eat from the tree of life and live in their broken state forever. Preschoolers will see that God loved us first, even before we were born. As a result, we can know that God’s love comes from who He is, not because of anything we do.

Check out Hyfi At Home for a fun activity and family engagement around last week’s Bible story.

Highlight of the Week

Session 1: God Loved First Read: Genesis 3 Highlight: Genesis 3:22-23

Reflect: How do you see God’s love reflected through sin’s consequences?

A)    Growth in humility and honesty

B)    Conviction of sin that leads to life change

C)    Deeper dependence on God

Pray: God, thank You for loving me even when I sin. Help me see Your love when I face consequences for sin. Help me always remember Your amazing love and that You loved me first.

Connect: What is something good that has come out of something bad? How does this show the character of God?

…and in SPROUTS

Sprouts will have a family worship Sunday. Stop in at the check in table for some new coloring pages.

This February we are going to teach the Simple Truth, “I Am Loved” with the Theme Power Up. Kids will love the fun old school video game art and graphics we’ll include each week. More than that, they will grow and be encouraged as we teach that God loved first, God loves best, God loves more, and God loves always.

Get Ready For Christmas

It’s time to embrace the excitement as we prepare for Christmas!

Our Annual Christmas Pageant will take place on December 15th
during the 11 a.m. service

If you’d like your child to have a speaking part,

We encourage you to help them attend class every Sunday leading up to the event! Sundays will be our main practice time, and we want to make sure everyone has a chance to shine. We completely understand that life can get busy and that kids might not feel their best sometimes. Just a gentle reminder that if your child misses more than one rehearsal, we may need to offer their part to another excited participant. With around 20 speaking parts available, there’s a fantastic opportunity for your child to take the stage and have fun!

Practice starts this week - Nov. 17th!

Take a look at the script. If your child would like to participate, get in touch with me and tell me the PAGE NUMBER and COLOR of the part your child would like.

And for those who would prefer not to have a speaking role,

they’ll be part of our choir, dressing up in fun costumes and singing our favorite Christmas songs together. It’s sure to be a wonderful experience for everyone!

Seedlings Families,

This week we are teaching preschoolers that they can help their friends. In John 13:1-20 we learn about how Jesus washed the feet of His disciples the same night He would be betrayed. Jesus shocked His disciples by doing such a lowly job, but in doing so, He was teaching them the manner in which we are to love and serve one another—with humility. We can follow His example in our own relationships.

This week we are talking about helping and serving. Allow your preschoolers to try carrying dishes to the table, sweeping, or picking up around your home. Encourage and thank them for their help, reminding them that we can be like Jesus and help our friends.

Sprouts + Rooted Families,

We’re celebrating community this November with our theme Get Connected and teaching kids that God made them for community. In John 13:1-20 we learn about how Jesus washed the feet of His disciples on the same night He would be betrayed. Jesus shocked His disciples by doing such a lowly job, but in doing so, He was teaching them the manner in which we are to love and serve one another—with humility.

Write How Can I Help You? on index cards, sticky notes, or small pieces of paper. Give everyone in your family (adults included) two or three cards. Encourage each other to use the cards at random times during the week. When someone gives you a card, think of a way to invite that person to help you. Teach your kids that community is stronger and better when we help our friends.
