We're kicking off the new year with a winter wonderland! Wear all white and we'll pray that we get some winter weather.
This year, we are splitting the Kingdom Kids classes into two age groups - K - 2nd and 3rd - 6th. This will help students to learn the lesson with a more age-appropriate focus. Both classes will focus on the same scripture passage. We are winding down our study of the books of the Bible, which will be completed in February.
January 3: Hebrews
January 10: James
January 17: 1 & 2 Peter
January 24: 1,2,3 John
January 31: Jude
We will have two memory verses this month:
January 3 - 10: 1 Timothy 4:12 - Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young. Set an example for the believers in what you say and how you live. Also set an example in how you love and in what you believe. Show the believers how to be pure.
January 17 - 31: Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End", says the Lord God. "I am the One who is and who was, and who will come. I am the Mighty One."
We are starting off the new year with a new study - The Bible in a Year. We will dig in to Bible stories throughout each book of the Bible, starting with Genesis and ending with Revelation. Each class will dive into the same Bible story, but with an age-appropriate focus. Weekly take home pages will keep you informed of what your students are learning. Please take time to go over these papers as a family and do the suggested activities. The more you can reinforce the truth of God's Word at home, the more your kids will know their Heavenly Father, their Savior, and that they have been created on purpose for a purpose.
January 7: God Creates Adam and Eve - Genesis 1-2:24 (God created us for a reason)
January 14: God Gives Adam and Eve a Choice to Stay Close to Him - Genesis 3 (God lets us choose between good and evil)
January 21: God Tells Noah to Build an Ark - Genesis 6:9 - 9:17 (God gives us do-overs)
January 28: God Promises Abram a Son - Genesis 15 (God keeps His promises to us)
This month, we have one memory verse for Sunday mornings - Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Every student should be able to easily memorize this verse by the end of the month. The importance of knowing and understanding God's Word cannot be underestimated.
