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. Please help your kids memorize our new verse before our next Bible Blitz day on August 25th! We are learning what happened to the Israelites once they entered the Promised Land. Will they obey and follow God? We will find out!

We don't have a video of our memory verse song for August, but click above for the audio! It is a very easy song to memorize, and we will be teaching actions at church.

Challenge: Old Testament Books of the Bible

Help us build your child's Bible skills!
Ms. Tracy is challenging the children in Watering Hole to learn the books of the Old Testament this summer! To help them, we will begin listening to the song "Books of the Bible" posted here. Click on the YouTube video, or on the amazon music (#3 - hit the play button) to help your child learn the song - and the books of the Bible! |

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 August. 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! |
