What have we been up to?

In March we learned how Jesus Cares For Us. We learned of all the different people Jesus healed like the 10 lepers and the blind man and now in APRIL we are starting to lean how Jesus wants to be my friend forever! Starting this past Sunday they learned that wherever Jesus was there were crowds of people, so many wanted to hear what He had to say. A lady who was sick knew if she could just get to Jesus she would be healed. She carefully made her way through the crowd and touched the hem of His garment and was healed. Jesus asked who touched me? He wanted to meet her because He wanted to be her friend forever! Our lessons are so much fun. For the 10 lepers we all put on sticker dots to pretend we had sores all over us, and we took them off to see how it would be like to be healed like the lepers. For the blind man we turned off the lights to imagine how it would be to not see and we used out other senses to guess things and to describe them. And for the story of the lady who touched Jesus' robe, the teachers wore a long robe while telling the story and the kids got to lean and touch it like the lady. We love leaning about Jesus in Jr. Kidz Alive! The baby's played veterinarians by pretending to care of the stuffed animals we had. A monkey, a hippo, and a bear. After they took care of the animals by feeding them and hugging them we told them that Jesus wants to take care of us too!

Feb 13th 2011 Jesus Will Be Your Valentine!

This is our host "Annie" she told a story today about a picnic she was going on with her best friend Kelly. She made a HUGE sandwich so she and Kelly could spend a LONG time together. The kids helped "Annie" think of things she could put on her sandwich.

BIBLE STORY

This week our 2 year old through 5 year old Junior Kidz learned about the story of the 2 friends that went walking, catching up on each other's lives. When a third friend joined them on their walk. Who was this third friend? JESUS!

They walked and shared and laughed for hours until they realized it was dark. They didn't want to be apart yet, so they invited Jesus for supper, and Jesus said YES! So the friends went back to have supper together.

Jesus wants to be our friend. He loves it when we talk to him and invite him to hang out with us. He IS our best friend.

Their new worship song is "Yabba Dabba" the chorus is "Yabba Dabba, cocka doodle doo, I know that Jesus loves You."

SMALL GROUPS

3-5 yr olds: The children did an activity called "A Walk With Friends" they walked around the room swinging their elbows high and singing silly songs like: "I was walking down the road one day, going to my friend's house to play when out jumped a dog--ruff, ruff--followed by a hog--oink, oink--so I met some new friends on my way."

2 yr olds: The children set a pretty dinner table with a table cloth, plates, cups, silverware, flowers...then they talked about the special supper the 3 friends had!

1 year olds play "Pass the Love" with a heart pillow and whoever has the pillow we say "Jesus loves (child's name)

Nursery: When diapers are being changed we sing "Jesus Loves You."

Parents Small Talk with Children Feb 2011

Click on image to ENLARGE

This Month is "Jesus Loves You".

That is what we will be discussing with preschoolers through this month of love, February.

This month's verse: Luke 15:12 "Love eachother as I have loved you".

Week one in February was from the story found in Luke 14:16-24

Jesus told the story of the man who invited everyone to a great banquest. He told this story so people would know that Jesus loves everyone!

The parent small talk is your way of influencing your little one at home concerning the same virtues we are teaching in Kidz church. It helps reinforce it as well, and it's you spending time with your children. This makes Orange! Light from church (yellow), love of family (red).
