Creek Kidz

05/13/2026

Happy Wednesday Creek Kidz families!

Why are roller skates so good at making friends?
Because they always know how to roll with the crowd! 😄

Tonight is our end of the year Wednesday night party at the Lucedale Skating Rink and Arcade from 5:00–7:00 PM for kidz 1st-6th grade! We are so excited to celebrate an awesome year together.

Parents, please please please make sure kids are picked up by 7:00 PM. We have to be completely out of the building at 7:00.

This will be our last Wednesday night event for the summer. We have loved every minute of this year with your kids and can’t wait to see what God has in store this summer through camp and VBS. We will kick back off on September 2 with our Splash Kickoff!

If you still need to complete Kidz Camp forms, please see me tonight at the skating rink.

Also, VBS registration for kidz is happening now! VBS t-shirts are still available to order through May 24 for $12.

Have a great summer and we will see you tonight!

Since it’s our last night before our party, I figured I would start with a joke.

Why did Ruth dislike Joshua?

Because Joshua judges Ruth. Ha ha ha!

Tonight is our Recognition Service, and we are so excited to celebrate all that our kids have learned this year. There will be no Wednesday night meal tonight.

Please try to have your kids there by 5:45 so we can get everyone lined up with their teachers. We will be in the sanctuary so there will be plenty of room for parents and families to attend.

Tonight we will recognize our kindergartners who will be moving up to Creek Kidz next year and our sixth graders who will be moving up to student ministry. The kids will also get to share some of the things they have learned throughout the year.

Please remember to wear your vests and sashes. If you have questions about placement, please refer back to last week’s message with the pictures.

Also, immediately following the Recognition Service, we will have a Creek Kidz Camp meeting for all kids going to camp this summer and all chaperones. We will meet on the piano side of the sanctuary. Please make sure to bring your insurance card, and chaperones, your final deposit is due tonight as well.

Reminder that next week we will have our end-of-the-year party at the Lucedale Skating Rink from 5:00–7:00 PM. Pizza will be provided.

Please reach out if you have any questions. We cannot wait to see everyone tonight as we celebrate an amazing year together!

Tonight is our RA Race! We will have our meal at 5:30, and the races will begin at 6:00 in the Creek Kidz building. The girls will be watching and cheering on the boys, so we encourage parents to come out and support them. Once your child has finished racing, you are welcome to head out if needed. Little Praisers will have their regular class.

Reminder that we will be singing What an Awesome God this Sunday morning with the adult choir. This is the song we’ve been working on during Children’s Church and Wednesday night Creek Kidz.

Next Wednesday night, May 6, will be our Recognition Service. Kids will wear their vests and sashes that were sent home last week. If your child was not here, they can pick theirs up tonight at the welcome desk. There will be no meal that night. Please arrive with your child at 5:45 and join us in the sanctuary. This is a special time to see all that the kids have learned this year and to recognize our kindergarten and sixth grade students as they promote.

After the Recognition Service on May 6, we will have a Kids Camp meeting. If your child is attending camp, please plan to stay and bring your insurance card information.

Lastly, on May 13, we will have our skating party from 5:00 to 7:00 at the Lucedale Rink and Arcade.

Can’t wait to see everyone tonight as we cheer on our RAs. They have worked so hard on their cars!

Hey Creek Kidz families!

It’s midweek service, and we only have a few more weeks left.

Tonight, our boys will be finishing up their race cars as they get ready to practice racing next week before the big race on the 29th. This is also our last Bible study in our Jesus Is Alive series, what a great way to wrap it up!

We’ll also begin working on our new song, “What an Awesome God” (link included below). We will be singing this on May 3 during a special service focused on the blessings and gratitude God has given us through our kids building. Brother Ashton will be leading a multigenerational choir that day, so please make plans to attend so your child can be part of this special time.

We will also be showing a video on May 3 of what a typical Wednesday night looks like. A videographer will be here tonight and again on the 29th for the RA race. If you do not want your child included in the video, please message me to let me know. The video will be used during our morning worship service on May 3.

Reminder
Dinner at 5:30
Bible Study at 6:00
Pick up at 7:00

Can’t wait to see everyone tonight 💛

Phil Wickhams new song, "What An Awesome God" is a fresh take on Rich Mullins "Awesome God" and it's perfect for a worship song with motions! Do you like the...

Can’t wait to see everyone back for midweek tonight. Please plan to drop off at 5:30 for supper, Bible study will begin at 6, and pickup is at 7.

We have two more weeks in our “Jesus Is Alive” series. Keep working on your memory verse: “I am the Living One. I died, but look, I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and the grave.” Revelation 1:18.

Please take a moment today to pray for our third graders at Rocky Creek as they take their gate test. Pray for calm nerves and a peace that passes all understanding.

I’ll be sending a note home tonight with your kids about all upcoming activities leading up to our end date on May 13. This is also a reminder that we take a break from Wednesday nights during the summer, but we have lots of fun activities planned for the kids throughout the summer, including Vacation Bible School and kids camp.

Don’t forget, Friday night is laser tag for the boys from 6 to 8 in the activities building. Supper will be provided.

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.

We are continuing our series Jesus Is Alive! Tonight we are focusing on the resurrection.

The kidz have worked so hard on their song, and I cannot wait for you to see it! Kidz need to meet in the choir room at 10:45 Sunday morning. Please bring a change of clothes and an Easter basket for the egg hunt.

There will be no Wednesday night activities on April 1 due to spring break. Enjoy that time with your family.

MIDWEEK and I can’t wait to see all of our Creek Kidz tonight!

Tonight we will finish our study on God’s love as we learn about Paul and Silas in prison. Even in a dark and difficult place, they chose to praise and worship God, and God showed His power and love in an amazing way. It reminds us that no matter where we are, God’s love is always with us.

Keep working on your memory verse, 1 John 4:10:

“This is real love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.”

Meal starts at 5:30, so please drop off around that time. Bible study begins at 6:00 and pick up is at 7:00.

Reminder that next week we will record the kids’ speaking parts for Palm Sunday. If your child signed up and does not make it home with their speaking part tonight, please message me and I will send you a copy.

Also remember our Palm Sunday celebration. The Little Praisers will sing “Hosanna,” the big kids will enter with palm branches, and we will show the video of the Kidz speaking parts. Then everyone will sing “Love Come Down” together. After the service we will have a family meal for everyone, and our egg hunt will follow. We encourage grandparents and family members to come and enjoy this special time with the kids.

Can’t wait to see everyone tonight! 💛

It’s MIDWEEK and I can’t wait to see all of our Creek Kidz tonight!

Here’s a little love joke for you:
Why did the sheep fall in love with the shepherd?
Because he said, “I’ve got ewe forever.” 🐑💛

Tonight we’re continuing to talk about God’s love and how He is our Good Shepherd. Keep working on your memory verse, 1 John 4:10:

“This is real love: not that we love God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.” — 1 John 4:10

Meal starts at 5:30, so please drop off around that time. Bible study begins at 6:00 and pick up is at 7:00.

Boys will continue working on their race cars, and we will keep learning about God’s incredible love for us.

Reminder: GA Camp money and forms are due tonight. The cost is $100 for camp, June 1–5.

If your child signed up for a speaking part for Palm Sunday, I will be handing those out tonight. We will record them on March 18.

If your child does not bring home a speaking part tonight, please message me and I will send you a copy.

On Palm Sunday, we will sing “Love Came Down,” enter with palm branches, and then enjoy a family meal together. We encourage grandparents and anyone who would like to come see the kids. After the meal, we will have our egg hunt.

It’s going to be such a special day as we come together to celebrate our Lord and Savior and the love He showed when He went to the cross.

Can’t wait to see everyone tonight 💛

It’s the best night of the week… MIDWEEK! We cannot wait to see everyone tonight as we continue learning more about God’s incredible love for us. His love changes hearts, gives us hope, and reminds us we are never alone.

Remember, drop off and meal begin at 5:30, Bible study starts at 6:00, and pick up is at 7:00. We are looking forward to a great night together.

A few important reminders for our families:

GA Camp money is due next Wednesday, so please make plans to turn that in if you have not already. We are so excited for what God is going to do at camp this year.

Our Egg Stuffing Party for the Easter Egg Hunt will be March 8 at 5:00 PM. We will be stuffing 3,000 eggs, and we would love your help. The more hands we have, the more fun it will be.

Tonight, kids can sign up for speaking parts for Palm Sunday. The speaking parts will be prerecorded, and our Kidz will be leading in worship that morning. After service, we will enjoy a family meal together followed by our Easter egg hunt. It is going to be such a special day for our church family.

Do not forget to study your memory verse and practice your song. We want to be ready to lead with confidence and joy.

We are thankful for each of you and cannot wait to see your smiling faces tonight.
