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, "Friends and Helpers Lessons." Today they watched "RescueMan to the Rescue" and learned that by sharing things we have, we can help people in need.
Live It: Encourage your child that “even though you’re little, you can do a lot!” Help your child find ways he/she can help others in your home.
Elementary (K - 5th Grade)
This classroom will also be split into smaller classes as attendance continues to grow.
The kids are beginning a series called "Get Ready for Easter." Today's lesson was “Who Is This?” Our prayer is that each child will understand that Jesus is King and that we need to worship Him as King by the way we live our lives. They will hear that many years ago, people recognized that Jesus was worthy of praise and worshipped Him on Palm Sunday. They will learn ways to worship Him in what they do and say.
Bible Story: Matthew 21:1-11
Jesus entered Jerusalem for the very last time. The disciples were instructed to go find a donkey and her colt that were tied up outside of town and bring them to Jesus. He then rode on the donkey into the city of Jerusalem. As Jesus made His way into Jerusalem, people began to gather from all around the city. They waved palm branches and laid their coats and palm branches on the ground before Him. This was how they showed honor to Jesus as their King! It was like the people were watching a parade. This parade of people began to follow Jesus and shout “Hosanna,” (or today we would shout “Hooray!”) which was a shout of praise to Jesus. They also yelled, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!” Their excitement continued to follow Jesus as He entered into the city of Jerusalem. When Jesus finally entered the city, the people who did not know Him asked, “Who is this?” The people who knew Jesus said, “It’s Jesus from Nazareth.”
The Child’s Prayer:
Dear Jesus, I pray that I will understand what this Easter season is all about. I know that many years ago people worshipped You with palm branches and were saying, “Hosanna” to You. I want to recognize that You are worthy of worship each day, because You are my King too. Help me to remember to worship You each day. I love You, King Jesus. Amen
Memory Verse:
Bless the one who comes in the name of the Lord! John 12:13 NIV
Live It:
Question 1: How can I show Jesus that He is the King of my life? (ask Him to live in my heart, pray to Him, sing praises, read the Bible, share Him with others)
Question 2: How can I worship Jesus each day? (sing songs, talk to Him, put Him first, watch my words and actions)
Question 3: Where can I worship Jesus? (church, home, outside, inside, at camp, with friends, anywhere!)
