Nursery
Babies at Canyon Church are shown the love of God by being played with, held and cared for.
Walkers & PreSchool
Currently we are combining the Walkers and PreSchool classes as there have been a small number of children in these classes. We are watching attendance closely and as this class grows, are ready to split the PreSchoolers into their own classroom.
The kids are going through a series with Boz the Bear, "Thank You God for Friends and Helpers." Today they watched RescueMan to the Rescue and learned how to share with others in need.
Elementary
This classroom will also be split into smaller classes as attendance continues to grow.
The kids are continuing a series called "What's Bugging You." Today's topic was on Serving. It is our prayer that the kids understand that they were created to help and serve others, and as we do that we are really serving God.
Bible Story:
Miriam was a young Hebrew girl who served God by doing an important job. Miriam's task was to make sure baby Moses floated down the Nile River in his basket safely. During this time, the Egyptian rulers didn't want any newborn sons of Jewish families to survive. Sending baby Moses down the river was the only way to keep him out of harm's way. Even though Miriam was small and young, her service of protecting her brother was very important. An Egyptian princess found baby Moses at the end of the river and wanted him for her own. Miriam continued to serve by making sure the princess had a nurse to help her with the baby. This nurse was Moses' real mother! Miriam's purpose was simple and straight forward: to serve by being responsible for her brother's safety. Even serving on a small scale can lead to great outcomes! (Exodus 2)
Key Point:
When we serve others, even in the simplest way, we bring joy to God.
Memory Verse:
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others. 1 Peter 4:10 NIV
Live It:
1. How can you "serve" in your own home?
2. How do you think you might feel after serving?
3. Where can you volunteer your time to serve God?
