Nursery

Babies at Canyon Church are shown the love of God by being played with, held and cared for!

Walkers
The kids are going through a series with Boz the Bear, "Thank you God for Friends and Helpers." Today they watched "Doing Our Fair Share" and learned how to serve others.

Bible Story:
The kids also read John 13: 1-16, where Jesus washes the disciples' feet. Jesus shows that it is important to help one another.

Live It:
This week, look for ways you can help a friend or family member in need.


Preschool
The kids started a series with Lil'K, “I Can Talk to God.” Today they learned the story of Jonah in the Big Fish, and that they can talk to God anywhere.

Bible Story:
Jonah in the Big Fish, Jonah 1-2

Remember Verse:
I pray to you. Answer me because you love me sooo much! Psalms 69:13

Live It:
Discuss with Your Child -
• We can talk to God anywhere because He is with us everywhere.
• Where can you talk to God?

Elementary (K - 5th Grade)
Currently we are combining all Elementary classes. This group will 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 Trusting Heart. Each child learned that as they seek after Jesus, they will learn to trust Him more and more. He will be the One they can count on to guide and strengthen them in all areas of their lives.

Key Point:
The more I learn about Jesus, the more I can trust Him.

Bible Story: Matthew 8:5-13
One day, Jesus was traveling to the city of Capernaum. The servant of a captain in the Roman army was very sick and close to dying. When the captain heard that Jesus would be coming his way, the captain went seeking after Jesus. He had faith and knew that Jesus could heal his servant. When the captain found Jesus, the captain told Jesus that he believed and trusted that He could heal his servant just by Jesus’ words; and that He did not even need to come to his house to heal his servant! Jesus was impressed with the captain’s faith and trust in Him. He had not seen faith like this. So, Jesus told the captain to go home, his servant would be well again because he believed and trusted Jesus. The servant was healed that very hour.

Memory Verse:
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 (NLT

Live It:
Talk about these questions…
1: What does it mean to seek after Jesus? (To learn more about Him; read the Bible; pray to Him; treat people like He did)
2: How do I know that I can trust Jesus? (The Bible tells me I can—it takes faith and having a relationship with Him)
3: What are some things I can trust Jesus for? (Protection at night; help on a test; strength to make good choices.)
