August 2 - Ezra reads the Law, and God's people repent!
The story is the same, with different titles! God's people hear His Word explained, and realize that they haven't been obeying Him as they should. They repent, and then...they celebrate! They celebrate that they now understand what God wants them to do.

August 23rd - The Genealogy of Christ: From Adam to Jesus

Remember the message that Malachi delivered in our story on August 9th? He foretold of a messenger who would "prepare the way" for God. Today, we see and hear the beginning of the story of John the Baptist, who would prepare the people to hear Jesus' message!

Safari Kids Ministry Rules - SLLRP! |
The behavior rules in Safari Kids help our children be better prepared to receive the lesson God has for them. This system is called SLLRP (pronounced slurp). Each letter in SLLRP stands for a different “I Can” statement that helps children take ownership of their time and behavior at church each week.
Our hope and prayer is that you’ll join us in talking about these expectations with your children at home as we talk about them at church. Psalm 42:1-2 (NIrV) says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?” We want kids to thirst for God just like the psalmist, and when they SLLRP it up, it allows them to soak up everything God wants to teach them! Take a moment and scroll through each "I Can" statement, and let us know if you have questions! |
