4th & 5th Grade September Lessons

September 2, 2012

Dear Parents,
     Kids Zone is off and running and we are excited to see you and your kids each week and to learn from God's word.
     As much as it depends on you, please make sure your children get a good night sleep on Saturday and a good breakfast on Sunday so they will be able to focus and enjoy the morning.
     Our study this year, for the 4th and 5th graders is "To Be Like Jesus". The first two lessons teach that we are created in God's image for His glory. We want each child to understand that they are created with characteristic and abilities like God's character and abilities and that they are to use these characteristics to bring God glory.
    
     Here are some of your children's ideas:
     Since God is good and perfect, they could bring Him glory by being helpful to a new student, a shy student or a student from another country by showing them around the school, or playing with them at recess.
     Since God is just and righteous, they could bring Him glory by taking turns at school, sharing, and not cheating in games or on they work.
     Keep talking to your children about ways they display the image of God at home, or school to bring God glory.
thanks for partnering with us,
Teachers Nancy and Severn

1st - 3rd Grade September Lessons

Sept. 8, 2012

Dear Parents,

Welcome to a new Sunday school year!  We want to touch base with you and let you know what's in store this year.  Once again, we'll be combining the 1st - 3rd graders in one class and will be meeting in the Growing Place room for the whole time.  (No more switching back and forth between rooms!)

It will be beginning to look a lot like Christmas as we start our lessons this year.  The lessons are a chronological teaching of New Testament stories so that does mean the birth of Jesus comes first!  (If you hear any Christmas carols being sung just remember there is a reason.)  Below are the lesson titles and the Scriptures we'll be using with them.  We hope you will ask your kids what they learned each Sunday and make sure we're doing a good job teaching them.

Sept. 9--God hears Zechariah's prayer and promises him a son.  Luke 1:5-25

Sept. 16--The coming of the Savior is announced.  Luke 1:26-80; Matthew 1:18-25

Sept. 23--Good News of great joy!  Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 2:1-38

Sept. 30--Family Celebration.

We will also have memory verses but will be working on them in class this year.  We realize that most of your children will also be attending Church Time so will be studying THE STORY along with you.  We want you to be able to put more time and attention into those lessons.  Do ask them to recite the memory verse though, as practice, practice, practice puts it in their heads and hearts.  The verses we will be working on this month are Luke 1:18-20.

We're excited to meet everyone tomorrow.  See you soon!
