Sunday recap

I must first give huge thanks to the amazing coordinators, teachers, and helpers that we have in our e:Kidz ministry! The last few weeks have run so smoothly on Sunday mornings, with the dedication of so many wonderful people with huge hearts for serving kids!

Explorers - Two weeks ago, we started a new curriculum in Explorers: Elevate, Jr. by Creative Pastors. If you would like to see more about Elevate Jr., go to www.creativepastors.com and click on the Elevate link.

This week in Explorers the kids learned: "I will be kind to others." The scripture they read this week was Luke 10:30-37, the story of the Good Samaritan. They were encouraged to think about kindness this week and ask their parents to set aside time to do something kind for someone. You might make a batch of cookies for a neighbor or friend, take a meal to another family, or just write a card to someone. Make sure that the children are included in the process of choosing what to do as well as the implementation of the plan. Remind your children that we are supposed to be kind to others.

Elevate - Elevate is in their 2nd week of the new unit, Adventures in Science, from the Elevate curriculum, also by Creative Pastors. The lesson goal was to learn that because God made all people, I should love and respect others. The main point was God loves everyone and so should I! The Bible verse this week was Acts 10:34. Dr. Oppenheimerstein was given the assignment to research which type of people God loves the most. Through a series of events, he learned that we are all different from each other in some way. God doesn't want us to all be the same. All activities this week were geared toward teaching your children that God loves everyone and we should too.

I love serving your children in e:Kidz and I thank you so much for giving me that opportunity!
