Watering Hole: 1st - 5th Grades
Ms. Tracy invites you to come with your kids to our virtual Watering Hole Sunday service! This weekly video runs approximately 20 - 25 minutes, and will simulate a condensed Sunday morning in the Watering Hole, with songs, Bible verse review, story, and lesson application! Ms. Tracy encourages parents and grandparents to complete the extra activities described under the video as well!
Find the story in the Bible!
Help your kids find and read today's story from Luke 17:11-19. If you have one of our Bibles, use the phone app to listen to a recap of our story! This week, act out the story! Use rags or toilet paper to wrap up parts of your child's body to cover their "leprosy". Then let them act out the story as you read it from the Bible. Use siblings, dolls, or stuffed animals for the other lepers. Ask some follow up questions...
Make Thank You Cards
Brainstorm with your kids some people that they maybe need to say thank you to. Help them write letters of thanks, or call someone to say thank you! It doesn't need to be saying thanks for a gift - it can be saying thank you for going to work every day to earn money for the family, for babysitting, for help that was given for a task. Be creative!
Continue to use (or make) a "God Can"
If you didn't do it yet, find a can - an old coffee can or soup can perhaps - with no sharp edges. Let your children decorate paper to wrap around the can, with the words "God Can" on it. This is now a place where prayer requests can be written on paper and placed into it, knowing that God CAN (and WILL) answer prayer!
Memory Verse
If your child has memorized the verse, and can say it to you - let Ms. Tracy know! Fill out the form at the bottom of the page.

- Do you think ALL of the men were excited to be healed?
- Have you ever gotten so excited about something, that you forgot to say THANK YOU?

"To everything there is a season..." Eccl. 3:1
We (Ms. Tracy & Ms. Jami) have been praying and asking God to lead us in this new season, so that we can disciple the children in our church family who are returning to campus, and those who are still worshipping with their families at home. You can read about our on-campus changes by clicking the button, below.
If your family is participating from home on a regular basis, we would love to provide a Connection Teacher for them! This teacher will send them periodic postcards and follow up on lessons by video call, speaker phone, or other methods you feel comfortable with. They will help your child find our lessons in their Bible (which we will give them for FREE), and give them a connection to First Alliance! Interested? Click the button to see our video, or fill out the form at the bottom of this page to request a Bible and/or a Connection Teacher!
