The October-November memory verse is:
For I know that the Lord is great;
Psalm 135:5-6 CSB
Our Lord is greater than all gods.
The Lord does whatever he pleases
in heaven and on earth,
in the seas and all the depths.
Kids can recite the memory verse for a chance to win prizes on the last Sunday of Unit 3, which is November 12th!
Check out this song with motions to help memorize the verse:
Meet Birye and Gus the Guzzling Giver!
Kidz Connect is sponsoring Birye, an eight-year-old girl from Ethiopia, through Compassion International. These funds help equip Birye with the skills and opportunities she needs to succeed — all through a local church that knows and cares for her personally. A few benefits include medical checkups, malnutrition monitoring, vocation training and education assistance.
Kids are encouraged to bring an offering every Sunday to feed Gus the Guzzling Giver, our awesome offering piggy bank, which will go directly to Birye’s needs.
Bring Your Bible Challenge Going Through October!
Each Sunday a child brings their Bible to Kidz Connect, he or she will get to drop a pompom in the big jar! Once the big jar is filled to the top, the kids will get to have a party in Kidz Connect! If your child does not have a Bible, please let a Kidz Connect leader know and we will give them one.
Check out what the kids are learning this fall:
We are beginning at the very beginning! On August 13th, we started in Genesis 1 learning about how God created the universe. We will cover Unit 1 in August, Unit 2 in September, and Unit 3 in October and November.
Girl Time!
3rd-5th grade girls are invited to Girl Time! -a club for girls, which is held on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month in Kidz Connect from 6:30pm-7:45pm. We play games, eat food, and learn about Jesus in a fun, laid-back environment. Girls are encouraged to bring their friends!
