Children's Resources

In our preschool ministry, kids learn that God made them, God loves them, and Jesus wants to be their friend forever.

This month our preschoolers will be learning that God is our ultimate source of joy. When God is at the center of all we do, we can have joy all the time! And that is worth celebrating! This week, we will hear the story of Ezra and the rebuilding of the Temple, found in Ezra 3. Just like Ezra and the Israelites, we can have joy when we do hard things.

We hope your whole family will join in as we worship God by singing and dancing. Then we’ll visit Ollie the Owl and our clubhouse friends to hear the amazing, true story from the Bible.

In our elementary ministry, kids learn that God loves them no matter what, they can put their trust in Jesus, and what they say and do matters.

This month we are looking at what it means to have true joy. We want kids to understand that joy is about more than just their circumstances or the things they have. Joy is an attitude we can choose that stems from trusting God no matter what. Even when life feels hard, we can remember that God is always at work and that is where our joy comes from.

Our Bottom Line this week is: celebrate each step of the way. Many things don’t happen all at once, and it’s important to celebrate each little step you take, just like God’s people did in the rebuilding of the temple!

We hope your whole family will join in as we worship God and hear an amazing, true story from the Bible.
