And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
John 14:3
We Started off with a brain break as the kids trickled in. Then we played our actual game of stacking cups While keeping a balloon in the air. Later we switched it up to a stacking game. We went over the rules and guidelines. Thank you Emeri who led that for us. We also got our praise and worship on and a BIG thank you to those that came up to lead in worship! We went to our respective classrooms and learned about Jesus and ate a delicious breakfast!
Kids Konnect 1st-3rd grade
We started by sharing our “highs, lows, and buffaloes.” The kids got to talk about something good that happened during their week, something that maybe wasn’t so good, and then a “buffalo” something funny or silly that happened. A lot of kids like to show off their mom or dad jokes! It’s such a cool way for everyone to open up, laugh together, and learn that God cares about every part of our lives, both the happy moments and the hard ones.
After that, we talked about what Heaven is going to be like and how the Bible tells us there will one day be a new Heaven and a new Earth. We talked about how amazing it will be to live with Jesus forever, where there will be no sadness, pain, or fear anymore. The kids shared what they thought Heaven might look like, and it led to some really sweet and thoughtful conversations.
For our art activity, the kids cut out pictures of furniture and different household items and glued them onto paper to create their own rooms and homes. We connected it back to how Jesus is preparing a place for us and how Heaven will be more wonderful than anything we could ever imagine here on earth. It was a simple but meaningful way for the kids to use their creativity while thinking about the promises God has for us.
Upper Elementary 4th and 5th grade
Today we focused on John 14:3 and spent time learning how important it is to walk with Jesus every day. We made a fun maze activity where the kids had to walk through it blindfolded. As they tried to make their way through, they bumped into objects and quickly realized how difficult it can be to walk through life without guidance.
The second time through the maze, we helped guide them along the way to show how much easier life can be when we allow God to lead us and stay by our side. The kids had so much fun, but it was also a great reminder that Jesus helps direct our steps, protects us, and never leaves us alone.
We also enjoyed a yummy breakfast together with sausage, gravy, biscuits, and milk while spending time together growing in Jesus!
