CBC Kids Ministry

10/02/2023

Hey parents!

We have been scrambling to get Wednesday nights going again for Calvary.

Unfortunately, we barely have enough volunteers to keep Sunday mornings going.

It is with sad regret to announce that we will not be able to start Wednesday night children's ministry unless we have more individuals who can step in on Sundays and Wednesdays to help volunteer on a rotational basis, this will likely only be one Sunday a month unless you are wanting to serve more often.

If you are interested and able to help out, send us a message through this page and we will coordinate with you and get you some more information.

Thank you and God bless you all and your children!

Good morning parents! Hopefully, this recap of what we learned in Kids Church today will be helpful to you! Use it to start some deeper and meaningful conversations with your kids! =)

ISAIAH WARNED OF GOD'S JUDGEMENT

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• Isaiah warned the kingdom of Judah about God’s coming judgment because they worshiped idols.
• God said they would be judged for their sin. God would send Babylon to capture them.
• Isaiah also gave the people hope. He told the people that one day they would be free and that God would also judge the Babylonians for their sin.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
God sent Isaiah to warn of His coming judgment. A greater day of judgment is coming when God will judge sin for a final time. Jesus came to die on the cross and rise again. Everyone who repents of sin and trusts in Jesus will be safe from God’s judgment and have eternal life.

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
• Are all the bad things that happen in life because of sin?
• How should we respond when bad things happen?
• Why was it kind of God to send Isaiah to the people of Judah?
• Why can it sometimes be hard sometimes to repent of our sin?

Have an awesome week! God bless!

Who’s ready for some wet and crazy slip-and-slide fun tomorrow evening after our Master Club award ceremony!?! I know two really good looking dudes who certainly are!

07/24/2023

Hey Master Club parents! You'll definitely want to be here this Wednesday evening (7/26) at 7pm! We'll be meeting in the auditorium for a brief Master Club awards ceremony! We can't wait to celebrate all of our clubbers' hard work this year!

After the ceremony, we'd love for you to stick around for some refreshments and for all the kiddos to play around on our big tarp slip-and-slide. (As for attire, just have them wear shorts and a t-shirt, no swimsuits please - thanks!) It will be a nice fun time for them just to mess around and make some memories! I really hope you can make it!

Let me know if you have any questions.

JOASH WANTED TO OBEY GOD

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• Joash became king of Judah when he was seven years old. A godly man named, Jehoiada, helped Joash do what was right in the eyes of God.
• Joash wanted to repair the temple. King Joash wanted to follow God and honor Him.
• After Jehoiada died, King Joash turned away from God and worshiped idols. But God sent prophets to warn Joash and told him to repent.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
Joash wanted to obey God. He honored God at first, but in time, his actions showed that there was still sin in his heart. Jesus wants to change our hearts. When we trust in Jesus as Lord and Savior, He gives us new hearts that want to live for His glory.

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
• How did Joash, whose reign started out so good, end in such a bad way?
• How do people get away from God?
• What is one, or more, things you can do to make sure you always keep God as #1 in your life?
• Joash had a godly man named Jehoida who helped him know what was right to do. Who are some godly adults God has placed in your life? How do they help you follow God?

Hope this leads to some good discussions this week!!

Today in class, we talked about the 1970s craze - pet rocks. Some of the kids even made their own. It was meant to remind them how silly it is to pretend that a rock has life. Sadly, people do this with idols all around the world every day. There is only one true God, and I hope the rocks they made will help remind them of that. We talked about how in America there are many different types of idols that don’t always have a specific form or shape such as money or sports or video games. While the kids were making their pet rocks, we played this funny song, and I thought I would share it. Enjoy! =)

Yes, it’s a thing! Yes, it’s today! And I hope you’re celebrating with your kiddos! =)

Hello parents! I hope you are doing great! Here is what we learned about in Kids Church this morning!

WE ARE TO WORSHIP GOD ALONE

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• God told Isaiah to tell the people their idols were worthless. The people looked to the idols for help, but the idols could not help them.
• Isaiah told the people to turn away from the idols and worship God alone.
• Isaiah told the people to rejoice because only God could save them from their sin. God had made a way for their sin to be forgiven.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
God alone is worthy of our worship. He sent His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and save us from our sins. We can turn from our idolatry and evil ways to rejoice in the God who saves.

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
• What are some things that God can do that idols cannot?
• What are some of the differences between God and idols?
• What are some common things people in America make as idols (i.e. money, sports, etc...)?

Hope this leads to some great deeper discussions with your kiddos! Have a great week!

Good evening y’all! I know this might come as a shock, but, due to some circumstances beyond our control, we are going to have to cancel this year’s VBS. I wanted to get this info out to you as soon as possible so you can plan accordingly. Thank you very much for your understanding.

ELISHA PERFORMED MIRACLES

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• Elisha had the spirit of the Lord and was able to perform miracles with God’s power
in him.
• God used Elisha to perform many miracles to show people that God is the one true God.
• Elisha fed 100 men with 20 loaves of bread, made a heavy ax float, and healed a man named Naaman. Each time Elisha performed a miracle the people could see God at work in him.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
Elisha’s miracles showed that he was a prophet of the one true God and that God’s words were true. In a greater way, Jesus’ miracles show that He is the true Son of God.

GREAT FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
• Does God still heal people today? What if He doesn’t?
• Why couldn’t the king of Israel heal Naaman?
• How has God shown us that He is the one true God?

I hope this sneak peek into our lesson for today allows you to have some good conversations with your kiddo. After all, learning shouldn't stop at church =)

Hey parents! I hope you are having a great day! Here is a little bit about what we learned about in Kids Church today:

ELISHA SERVED AS A PROPHET

BIBLE STORY SUMMARY:
• God performed miracles through Elijah, but it was time for Elijah to go to heaven.
• Before the Lord took Elijah to heaven, Elisha asked for the same spirit that filled Elijah to fill him.
• Elijah was taken up into heaven on a chariot of fire while Elisha watched. Elisha now had God’s spirit.

CHRIST CONNECTION:
God gave Elisha the same spirit that was in Elijah so Elisha could carry out his mission as
a prophet. Years later, Jesus told His followers to wait for the Holy Spirit. God gives believers the Holy Spirit so they can share the gospel with the world.

FAMILY DISCUSSION STARTERS:
• Elisha told Elijah that he would not leave him. Who has promised to never leave or abandon us?
• How did people see the spirit of the Lord was on Elisha?
• How can we see the Holy Spirit in our lives?
