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.
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 are in a series called "Treasure Quest." Today's lesson was on A Respectful Heart. Our prayer is that each child will learn that when they seek after Jesus, they will understand more about how to respect and honor others around them. Getting to know Jesus will help them to see others like He sees them. Following Jesus will help them to treat others the way He does. Children will realize that a person who seeks Jesus has a heart of respect towards others.
Bible Story: Mark 10:13-16
People were seeking out Jesus and bringing their children to Him, hoping Jesus would bless them by placing His hands on them and praying for them. The disciples were annoyed with the interruptions and felt Jesus had more important things to do than spend time with children. They began to stop the parents from bringing the children to Jesus, but Jesus was not pleased with the disciples’ attitude and he scolded them. He told them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” He then went on to tell the disciples that to enter the Kingdom of God, you must accept Christ with the same faith as a child. Then Jesus took the children up in His arms, laid His hands on them and blessed them.
Key Point:
The more I follow after the ways of Jesus, the more I will treat others as He did—with respect and kindness.
Memory Verse:
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Luke 12:34 (NIV)
Live It:
1: What does it mean to respect others?
2: How does Jesus want me to treat others?
3: How can I learn to respect people better?
