Wed, 16 May 2012 12:56:15 -0700 http://communitychristian.org/ministries/kids/p/2916 http://communitychristian.org/ministries/kids/p/2916 Our series in elementary Uptown and Club 45 for May is called,“Great Expectations—will you win Trust?” It plays out like this: God has proven He can be trusted. When we trust Him and we respond to Him with our abilities, then we are responsible. And when we are responsible, we live a good story and a great life. We are a light to others. They will see our good works and glorify God because of how they see Him at work in us.And when you are responsible with a little, the Bible says you will be given more: more opportunities, more relationships, more ways that you can use what God has given you to reflect His character to the world around you. Our monthly memory verse says it this way, “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much,” (Luke 16:10, NIV).It’s important to remember that we can’t do any of this on our own. But God isn’t asking us to! God is the One who’s proven He’s responsible and trustworthy since the very beginning. Our responsibility is really a reflection of God and His character showing up in us. We can be responsible because of God’s power at work in us to help us respond to Him with everything we have—our ability, our stuff, our words, our time and our actions. Imagine how the world might change if we lived out these “great expectations” and became even more trustworthy people!For a quick video preview of what your child will be learning in May, click here.

Tue, 15 May 2012 14:34:36 -0700 http://communitychristian.org/ministries/kids/p/2853 http://communitychristian.org/ministries/kids/p/2853 Hello parents! This May we have a great series for our Jumpstreet preschoolers and Kindergartners about doing what is right! In Kids' City we love to introduce preschoolers to God’s story and helps them build a spiritual foundation on His truth. Each week, you will find an engaging, interactive and relevant telling of one of the stories found in the Bible as well as introductory and wrap up sketches connecting that story to a preschooler’s world. Many of our campuses use a short video like the one here to reinforce the story and application. If you've heard your children talk about Owlie or Zach, you'll want to check this out.
