Dear Families,
Thank you for bringing your children Kids Zone. We teachers are enjoying learning God's word together with them.
At this point your children should be able to verbalize the PURPOSE of John's Gospel (John 20:31) and should identify Jesus as The Word who brought light and life to the world (John 1:4)
This week we will meet John the Baptist (not the writer of the
Gospel of John), who came to point people to Jesus - the light of the
world. Your children will hear what John the Baptist said and see how
the people responded. Just like today some people did not accept Him
and other believed.
As we study the Bible at Kids Zone, we want to help your children
develop their own habit of reading and studying at home. We will be
teaching them how to find a verse and use a common Bible reference.
The context for our verse this week is John 1:10 - 12
the : separates the chapter from the verse, and - refers to a
series of verses in a chapter You would say John chapter 1 verses 10
through 12.
To some this is very familiar to others it is completely new.
Either way would you look up the verses this week with your child,
discuss the different responses and help them memorize John 1:12.
Kids Zone Teachers,
Nancy and Severn
