Movie Under the Stars - October 11Join us for a movie under the stars! We'll be setting up a big screen in the grassy courtyard between the worship center and Crash Landing, and showing The Wild Life (rated PG). Bring your lawn chair or blanket to sit on, and we'll provide the popcorn and water! Refreshments will be ready by 6:45, and the movie will begin at sundown, approximately 7:00 pm.
Want to have a little more fun? Come dressed as a pirate or an adventurer as we watch the (fictional) story of Robinson Crusoe! |
Watering Hole Sunday Curriculum - Review and practice at home!
Each month, our Sunday lessons are previewed in our newsletter. To see this month's newsletter and find out what lessons your children will be covering this month, please click on the NEWSLETTER icon at the bottom of this page. Below are some additional resources for kids in the Watering Hole (K-5th) to help you reinforce the lessons at home. This month, we will be learning about the Israelites' cycle of sin and repentance during the period of the judges. Please help your kids memorize our new verse before our next Bible Blitz day on November 3rd. The verse and its song are both posted below!

New Worship Songs!
Our new worship leader in Watering Hole, Christy Bauwin, will be teaching the kids these 2 songs starting in October. Help your child learn by listening and practicing at home! Do you love songs and music? Ms. Christy is only able to lead twice a month. Pray about helping us out on the other two Sundays! Worship begins promptly at 11:00 in the Watering Hole!

Little Explorers Sunday Curriculum
In general, the Little Explorers (ages 2 - PreK) follow along the same stories as Watering Hole so that kids of different ages in the same family are all learning the same thing, on their age level! However, some complex stories are broken up into 2 Sundays for our little ones, and when the Watering Hole kids stop and review several lessons on Bible Blitz days, the Little Explorers usually review a specific story. Click on our newsletter to see what their lessons will be each Sunday in September. Meanwhile, here are some extra resources to help your "little explorer" review the lessons from Sundays!

Safari Kids Ministry Behavior System - SLLRP!
|
As the new school year starts, we will review the SLLRP rules and offer incentives for the children as they learn/review them!
|
Beginning February 10th, we introduced a brand new system in Safari Kids that will 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! |
