What we learned on Sunday June 13th

NEW POST LAYOUT

I am excited to announce a new posting layout for all of Children's Ministry! Each Sunday a blog will be posted containing what Desert Springs kids learned in EVERY age group! This will allow parents to see what there children learned every week. As a parent this will give you an opportunity to go deeper with your children during the week, or even ask them some questions about what they learned in church. The older age groups have activities and scriptures to memorizes to help reenforce the lesson at home. Don't forget that Summer Blast is only 8 days away! Sign up your children, their friends and to volunteer!

This week in Animal J.a.m. we are learning more about God. In our two year old classroom we learned how God watches over us. God loves us each and everyone of us and we should be thankful that He loves us and watches over us. In our 3 and 4 year old classroom we learned that we can listen to God as we Grow. We heard the story of Samuel and how he grew he listened and learned about God. This story can be found in 1 Samuel 2:11, 18-21, 26

Today in Jammers we learned about Jesus teaching us how to pray. Praying is a way that we can communicate with God every single day, because God is always with us. For activities and more information about the story, please refer to your take home page in your child's bag.

Welcome all new fourth and fifth graders to Highway 45! We are kicked off promotion Sunday with some fun get to know you games and activities. As the kids got to know one another we also discussed what the kids are looking forward to this year as well as what they want to learn about God. This year is going to be very exciting for all of us, and I feel so blessed to be apart of the kid's lives while they grow closer to Christ. (From Alexa)
