Does God only use adults to do His work? Absolutely NOT!! Jesus showed particular interest and patience with children in the bible because they were and are important to His ministry.
This week we looked at the story of Jesus visiting the temple for the first time. Even at a young age He was ready to do God's work, and our children can and should have the same attitude. How, you ask? By inviting their friends to church, by setting an example of obedience - to their parents, teachers and anyone else who is in a position of authority over them, and by being a good helper when there is work to be done. Cleaning isn't fun for anyone, but children that have a good attitude when they are asked to help sets a huge example for others!
Don't let anyone tell you that you are too young to make a difference for God!
Things to think about:
Parents...have your kids think about how they can be more helpful at home and post your ideas in the comment box for $3 KB cash. Is it less whining when asked to do chores? Or is it taking the initiative to clean your room without being asked? There are lots of ways to make a difference!
For an extra KB buck...list the name of one friend you could invite to come to Kidz Blitz!
Challenge of the week: "Who am I" mystery...
My name means "the Rock", and I have a particular hatred for roosters!
I don't deny that I love Jesus...but sometimes need a little help admitting it!
Write your answer on a piece of paper and bring it in to KB for $3!!
Heads up for next week: March 6th
MV - John 1:29: "Behold, the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world"
Yes - we've had this verse before...so it should be an easy $5!
March 20th - is our KB store where the kids get to cash in their money! You won't want
to miss that day!
March 20th - Dress up day...Twin day - dress up like everyone in your small group for extra KB cash!! p.s. small group leaders will discuss this for the next two weeks!
Kidz Blitz is what we do every Sunday morning at 9:30am. It's a high energy large group environment that uses competitions, songs, skits, games and bible stories to teach kids about God and what He has done for us through His Son Jesus. This blog will be a tool that we use to keep us connected to the kids and parents throughout the week. We will use games, word scrambles and devotionals to help parents keep what the kids are learning on Sunday in their home all week long!
