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, "Color and Shape Lessons." Today they watched "Counting on God’s Love" and learned that they can count the different ways that God shows us His love, and ways that we can show God we love Him.
Live It: Ask your child, what are some ways God shows He loves them? How can your child show his/her love for God?
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 Serving Heart. Our prayer is that each child will understand that as they seek after Jesus, they will develop the desire to serve Him. Jesus wants us to serve Him by helping others. He will give them many opportunities to serve.
Bible Story: John 6:5-13
Jesus saw a great crowd coming toward Him. There were about 5,000 men in the crowd. Jesus asked Philip, “Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?” Jesus was only testing Philip because He already knew what He was going to do. Philip was doubtful. He didn’t think there was any chance of feeding all of the people. Another disciple, Andrew, saw a boy who was willing to give his lunch of five small loaves of bread and two fish. Andrew asked Jesus, “But how far will this go?” Andrew was doubtful, too. Jesus then asked His disciples to have all the men sit on the grass. The boy gave Jesus his food, and Jesus blessed it. They gave thanks and passed the bread and fish to all the men in the crowd. It fed everyone! After they were finished, the disciples gathered the leftovers. Jesus said, “Don’t let anything be wasted.” They filled twelve more baskets with what was left over. Although Philip was doubtful, God was able to serve all the people because of one little boy who was willing to give all he had to Jesus.
Key Point:
The boy in this story had a serving heart. He could have kept the bread for himself, but he didn’t. He saw that people were hungry and there was nothing for them to eat, so he did something about it. The key to unlocking the truth of this story is the more we seek after Jesus, the more we will be like Him. Then we will understand how to serve Jesus by helping people in need.
Memory Verse:
Serve each other with love. Galatians 5:13b (NCV)
