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 classrooms.
The kids are going through a series with Boz the Bear, "Thank you God for Friends and Helpers." Today they watched "A Lesson for the Teacher" and learned how God likes it when we teach our friends about things we know.
Bible Story: Jesus taught His friends about God when He was young. We heard the story from Luke 2:42-52 where Jesus went to Jerusalem with His parents and ended up going to the temple and teaching everyone about God.
Remember Verse: I give you sound learning, so do not forsake my teaching. Proverbs 4:2
Live It: This week, look for ways you can help another person learn this week.
Elementary (K - 5th Grade)
This classroom will also be split into smaller classes as attendance continues to grow.
The kids finished a series called "What's Bugging You." Today's lesson was on Worship.
Bible Story: (1 Kings 15:10-24, 2 Chronicles 14-16)
King Asa was a man who worshipped God. He went from town to town tearing down false idols that other people worshipped. He even removed his own grandmother from being the Queen because she didn’t worship God. God rewarded King Asa for his love for Him. He brought peace to the land that King Asa lived in. King Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the God. He was faithful to God and God continued to bless him. However, when King Asa grew old, he turned from God and he was punished. He suffered and so did his land. It’s important to worship God our entire life.
Key Point:
When we worship God we show our love for Him. We worship God through our actions. Praying, singing, and making right choices are all acts of worship! Our prayer is that each child will see God as the focus of their life and will take active steps to show their love for Him, by living a life of worship to Him.
Memory Verse:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 (NLT)
Live It:
1. Recite the Bible verse from memory and say it to someone in your family.
2. Write a thank you note to God and show it to someone in your family.
3. Pray once a day this week.
