Journey Kids' Weekly Newsletter - No. 7

Good News!

I am so excited to announce that we will now have two Sunday School Classrooms - Pre-K - Grade 2 and Grades 3 - 6! We could not do this without our Small Group Leaders and Assistants! And I am so grateful to all of them. God is Good!!


Please remember if you haven't already registered your children for Sunday School, click the button below and register them.  It is important information for us to have to keep them safe. If you are not sure if you registered your children send me an email, and I will check for you! Thank you for your cooperation!

Registration

Thank you for sharing your children with us today! This month the kids are learning about courage, and we are going to take a closer look at the lives of significant people in the Jewish Scriptures: Joshua and Caleb, David, Danielle, and Esther. This week our Bible story was about two guys named Joshua and Caleb (Numbers 13-14). After traveling through the desert away from Egypt, they demonstrated courage when they were sent out as spies in the promised land with 10 of their fellow Israelites. The land of Canaan was awesome, but it also wouldn’t be too easy to enter. When everyone else was scared to enter this land that God had promised the Israelites, Joshua and Caleb found the courage to speak up and remind the people that God would provide a way for them to take the land. They were brave even when others weren’t, and God rewarded them for it. Courage can be contagious. When we see others being brave, that has the potential to inspire us to be brave too. We talked about how we can lead by example. When we trust God and have courage, we can point others to God and empower them to show courage to. You can do what you should even when others are afraid.


Next Sunday our Bible story will be from 1 Samuel 16 and 17!

Upcoming Events

Food Drive


Children's Ministry is collecting non-perishable food to help fill Harvest Bags for families in need. The children will decorate Harvest Bags, and we will talk about how we can thank God for all the ways that we have been blessed and how God can use us to be a blessing to others. We will be collecting non-perishable food through Sunday, November 20! We will share the Harvest Bags with Diakon Child, Family & Community Ministries. For more information about this organization, click here.


We have not presented the children with a Bible for a couple of years, and we also have some new families in Children's Ministry, so on November 20th all children in first through sixth grade will receive a Bible. Invite family and friends! It is going to be very special day!
