Watering Hole - Sunday, July 12th
We will begin with large group time, then split into small groups. Your small group will either be in the front of Watering Hole, the back of Watering Hole, or in the gym sitting on rubber circles. Try to keep the kids 2 - 4 feet apart when in small group. Any questions...let me know! Kindergarten will go to Cheetah room IF there are 4 or less kids in that age group. The video story & the lesson plans are below!

Connecting during Covid-19
We miss our team! We hope to reconnect with all of you during July, and we thank you for understanding that during the last 3 months, we tried to stay in contact with you - but our main focus was on connecting with the families and kids. Here's some of what did!
What's been happening: Deliveries to familiesBeginning in March, as we moved to online Sundays, we began delivering lessons to the home of any of our Safari Kids who were interested. Ever since, Ms. Jami and Ms. Tracy have delivered to an average of 42 families on each trip - about 75 of our kids! Each delivery contains a few Sundays worth of materials for crafts, object lessons, and activity sheets. Then the parents log onto our new Safari Kids Online page, watch the story video, and complete the lesson. We have had a great response to our deliveries! We also delivered hand-written cards and Chick-fil-A kids meal cards, as well as some toilet paper on one of the trips!

Other Recent Special Deliveries & ActivitiesThe week before Easter, we secretly hid big Easter eggs at each house, then texted a picture to the family! The eggs contained some treats and crafts for the kids. For kids who memorized their Bible verse from March, we delivered some prizes - toys they could play with while quarantined at home! The week before Mother's Day, when we delivered the lesson packet, we also brought a present for the moms & grandmas: a Chick-fil-A mug with some cocoa & tea bags. For Father's Day, we delivered wate bottles full of "pop" treats. We also recently invited Duane & James to come along, and visited each of our promoting 5th graders! During this time, we have also served meals at Peace River Elementary, helped with the food drive, placed puppets in the Worship Center, and organized Thank You cards to place in the Worship Center. We have been BUSY!

The kids & families miss us...miss you...miss each other!
As we made our deliveries, sometimes we would find notes to us waiting on doorsteps, or cards sent through the mail! We received treats from patries, homemade cookies, and more. The kids miss Sundays! They miss the routine, their friends, and their teachers. We hope that all of you are praying about your future in Safari Kids, and what you might do as the restrictions begin to ease. We miss you, too!
