Welcome to Safari Kids - Online!
Whether you are attending church online, or you're just missing a Sunday due to travel or sickness, this new online page will keep your kids connected to the stories, lessons, songs, and activities that are happening on campus! We encourage you to open a Bible with your children to read this week's story, and then take some time to work through the suggested activities with your kids. We also encourage you to practice the memory verse with your kids, and sing our memory verse song!
September 12th: Jacob & Esau
WARM-Up Activity: SLIME TIME! For the next 4 weeks at church, the kids will be using moldable slime to form 4 objects each Sunday that will help us tell the story. Do the same at home! Click HERE for an easy 2 ingredient, safe slime recipe, or use playdough for a less messy project. As you're getting the slime or playdough ready, warm up with these questions for your kids: Have you ever had something stolen from you? What was it, and how did you feel...what did you do?

BIBLE STORY:
For our "SLIME TIME" lessons, you'll be able to listen to Ms. Tracy narrate our story. However, to make it more interactive, we encourage you to FIRST complete the warm-up activity, and make your own slime! This week, your kids will form the story objects while Ms. Tracy tells the story in the video below. Be ready to pause the video during those times in the video! |

Story Application:
Find and read this verse in Jeremiah - it's our memory verse for this unit! Ask your kids, "Do you think God has a plan for YOUR life?" (Yes!) We can find God's plan by first following His commands in the Bible. The Bible shows us how God wants us to live! Brainstorm some of these things with your kids. Next, we can pray to God and ask Him to guide us, and also seek the advice of others who have a strong relationship with God. |

New memory verse and song!
For the SLIME unit, we'll be challenging the 3rd-5th graders (and anyone else who wants to try) to memorize the verse below! They can say it from memory on September 19th for a prize!
