Monthly Worship Song: This is Amazing Grace



This week In Preschool & Lower Elementary...
CNX Kids learned: God will take care of me!”
This Sunday, CNX kids had fun talking about the love that God has for each of them.  Through their reading of 1 Kings 17:1-6, kids learned how God took care of Elijah by sending Ravens with food. Even though Elijah was hiding in a far away place, God kept him safe and gave him food to eat and water to drink. God took care of Elijah and God will take care of us, too!

To remember this lesson, preschoolers and lower elementary students made bird feeders to take home with them.


This week in upper elementary
CNX Kids learned: I need to unpack what God is telling me with others.
Today in CNX Kids, Kids learned through the story of Joseph interpreting Pharaohs dream that we need other people to help us unpack what God is telling us. Then, they reviewed the circle and had the chance to discuss personal kairos with their classmates.

Its easy to forget all the things God does to take care of us. This month, use your drive time to help you and your child remember.

Get all the advice and instruction you can so that you can be wise the rest of your life. Proverbs 19:20 (NLT)

Try out the following activity:
This week sit down and work a puzzle together. Talk about how sometimes puzzles can be hard, but that if you work together with your friends or family, you can help each other put all of the pieces in place. Talk to your kids about the fact that when God speaks to us, it can be a little confusing, like a puzzle, but that God gives us friends and family to help us put all of the pieces together and figure it out. Share an example from your life about how God got your attention with a Scripture or a circumstance and how you unpacked it with another person to help you to put what God was telling you into action.
