Kids Programming on May 17th!

Hey Parents!

This weekend at Liquid New Brunswick we had an awesome time at the Heldrich! While you guys were downstairs hearing from Pastor Tim, we were upstairs learning about some pretty great stuff.

If your children are in our Preschool Program (3 years old - Kindergarten), they learned that "God will take care of me." They learned the story from 1 Kings 17 about how God provided all of Elijah's needs even in the middle of a famine.

Here's the info from your Small Talk card for this week.

"My God will meet all your needs." ~Philippians 4.19, NIrV

Key Question: Who will take care of me?

Bottom Line: God will take care of me.

Every Child Needs to Know: God made me.

Bible Story Reference: 1 Kings 17.7-16

Teachable Moments: We often have the opportunity to be used by God to meet the needs of others. The widow in today's story was able to help Elijah by feeding him her last loaf of bread and was blessed by God for it. This week find time to do a little baking for someone in need with your preschooler. It could be as simple as baking some biscuits for a neighbor who just had a baby to baking a cake for someone who needs some cheering up. While you are baking, pray for the person for whom you're baking and ask God to shine in their lives.

If your children are in our Elementary Program (1st Grade - 5th Grade), they learned more about our month's theme of Stewardship." They learned that good stewards of God's blessings trust that He will provide all our needs.

Here's the info from this week's Refrigerator Door card.

We are learning about Stewardship this month.

Bottom Line for week 4: When you trust God, He will give you everything you need.

Memory Verse: "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it." ~Psalm 24.1 NIV

Stewardship is: Taking care of what you have because it all belongs to God.

Talk About it: Talk about these questions as a family on your way home or during a meal.

Kid's Question: What things cause you to worry?

Parent's Question: Has God been faithful in providing everything you've needed?

Today's Bible Story: Seek God's kingdom first from Matthew 6.25-34

Our SURGE kids learned that as Christians we must be able to follow, obey, and trust. One of the more important pieces that make up a good Christian is the ability to serve others. Having a servant’s heart can enable for us to grow with God and help others find him. Giving all of ourselves to the greater good of others is what God calls us to do. Today in our small Groups we are going to discuss a way you can help. It doesn’t mean you have to give up everything you own but it is a step towards being a true Christian.

Thanks so much for the opportunity to serve your kids and see them grow!
