Immanuel Belvidere Christ for Kids

10/03/2024

We have 3 more weeks in our "Kids Can Too!" series, which means kids have three chances to say their Bible memory verse at check-in for a prize!

While our 4th-5th grade classes had their choice between two verses, PreK-3rd graders learned a song to remember 1 Timothy 4:12 - check it out below! (We only learned the first part)

Love being a part of a place where learning and connecting with your family in Christ isn't just for the kids!

We're only a few days away from the start of Vacation Bible School at Immanuel, and the supplies are rolling in! 🌊

We thank God for the generosity of his people at Immanuel who have donated supplies for a whole week of snacks for 130 kids and their leaders. (Not to mention all the craft supplies and decorating materials!)

Registration is still open, but time is running out! If you still need to sign up your PreK-5th grader, visit our website! (Link in comments)

Lights! Camera! Action!

For the last six weeks, Christ for Kids and Youth Sunday morning classes have been hard at work planning, directing, and starring in videos on the Lenten theme of repentance. If you didn't see them Sunday, check them out here!

Over the last month, we've loved partnering with the Middle/High School youth for ThanksGIVING!

We made crafts that raised $175 for mission projects. We served around the church - cleaning, organizing, and emptying trash. We made and delivered Thanksgiving door hangers for a local nursing home. And, we were served by the youth who led a lesson while Mrs. Kortze was gone!

Now it's on to Advent, starting tomorrow!

While the older kids were busy learning about the altar and sacristy, our PreK/K class snuck into the Media Room!

We had lots of fun trying out different backgrounds on the green screen and did some recording for a video announcement you can see in church in a couple of weeks!

It was another great week of exploring the church!

While our youngest class visited the altar and our oldest class hung out the Praise Team, our 1st-2nd grade class got a special behind-the-scenes tour with Immanuel's own 'Mr Fix-It' - Mr. Grashorn!

We're so thankful for all the people who serve God and his people in this place, even if it's behind the scenes!

Last Sunday, we had so much fun exploring how we praise the God who comes to us with our music, sacraments, altar decorations, and even the pastors' clothing!

A big thank you to Sanctuary Staff, Praise Team, and Pastors for welcoming curious minds into their spaces!

We'll be "out and about" again next week, exploring more parts of our church!

We love our new gathering space!

Over the summer, a church member volunteered their Thrivent Action Team (a $250 grant Thrivent members can apply towards a service project) for children's ministry. We used it to do some restocking and redecorating! Now we have a more welcoming and functional space for our the kids (at no cost to the church!) - thank you!

If you hold a policy with Thrivent, you can apply for these grants too! Whether it's a project around church or something out in the community, call the church office or visit https://www.thrivent.com/about-us/membership/thrivent-action-teams to learn more.

Consider Fall Christ for Kids officially kicked-off!

We filled the gym with 50 kids (from 24 families) hunting for clues, working together, and choosing toppings for their "Sunday Sundae" reward 😋

Now onto next week, when we'll take our first "Out and About" trips to explore different parts of the church!

Kick-Off party this Sunday at 10:15 🎉

What is behind that door in the back of the Sanctuary? What does it feel like to wear a pastor's robe? What exactly do people eat during church? We'll be traveling around the church exploring these questions and more this Fall!

Join us! PreK-5th Grade - 10:15-11am on Sundays
