Hey, gang!
We use such an awesome curriculum in kids church! Every month, we have a new theme, and with our theme we receive a song that reinforces that theme. Now this month we’re focusing in on Trust as we continue our adventure through the Bible, taking a long look at the life of Joseph (Genesis 37-45)!
Check out the companion song to these lessons below!
Yesterday, Mr. Mike kicked off our April lesson series on Hope! We dug into John 11:1 – 45, when Lazarus dies and Jesus resurrects him. Through this miracle we learned that whatever happens, we can remember how powerful God is!
For more resources to keep the lesson alive throughout the week, check out http://Studio252.tv where you’ll find free videos, games, crafts, and more created by the very same people who write our weekly curriculum.
Are you ready for spring? Already looking ahead to summer? Then pull out your calendar because the dates for Father’s Vineyard’s VBS have been announced! Join us every evening July 14 – 18 for an amazing adventure across five continents and through history as we learn about the race (the human race!), the tower of Babel and its aftermath, and everyone’s need for the One Savior! From Bible time to snacks to games and science crafts, every kid age 3 – 12 is guaranteed to have a blast while interacting with the Word of God! So save the date! We can’t wait to see you there!
During the month of November, we’re teaching kids about cooperation, working together to do more than you can do alone. Our graphics are anchored in the idea that a band works, plays, and sounds its best when all of its members work together. When we all work together, we give room for different kinds of creativity, different perspectives, different personalities, different sounds, different skill sets.
Part of working together is appreciating the parts that others play. The Father’s Vineyard staff began this week by appreciating and serving all of our wonderful volunteers. On Tuesday, we celebrated our ability to work together as a nation to elect leaders on local, state, and federal levels. November 10th marks the Marine Corps’s birthday, and on the 11th we’ll honor the courageous men and women who have devoted themselves to the preservation of our nation, our veterans. As November nears its end, we will celebrate Thanksgiving. This holiday is the direct result of people working together as the Native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to adapt to and survive in the New World. Because the Pilgrims worked with the natives, those settlers were able to survive and thrive rather than die of starvation in a strange land.
November truly is a month that treasures cooperation, whether we’re honoring our armed forces, our volunteers, or our history. It is a clear reminder that when we work together, we can do more than we can alone.
Here in Father’s Vineyard Kids Theater, a new month means a new series! This month our theme is The Hunt: Wisdom is Worth Searching For. This series defines wisdom as finding out what you should do and doing it. Our key verse for the month is James 1:5a, “If any of you needs wisdom, you should ask God for it. He will give it to you” (NIRV). Check out the resources below for a deeper look at what we’re learning this month!
Father’s Vineyard Invites Children to Shipwrecked VBS: Rescued by Jesus.
A summer kids’ event called Shipwrecked VBS will be hosted at Father’s Vineyard from June 18 – 22, @ 6-8:30pm, Ages 3-12. At Shipwrecked, kids discover that Jesus rescues them! Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, make and devour yummy treats, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures, collect Bible Memory Buddies to remind them of God’s love, and test out Fun Gizmos they’ll take home and play with all summer long. Plus, kids will learn to look for evidence of God all around them through something called God Sightings.
Each day concludes with the Sail Away Sendoff that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned. Family members and friends are encouraged to join in daily for this special time.
