4th & 5th Grade Sunday School - October 20, 2013


Dear Kids Zone families,
   We had a great lesson this morning and missed and prayed for those that were absent. Thank you for helping your children memorize their Bible verses and 10 to 15 minute Home Connection assignments.  We check those on Sunday morning and the kids can put their names in for a drawing for a $5 ice-cream certificate in November.

Dear Parents,

Who or what is influencing your child's thinking? Is it you, their friends, their teachers, the computer or TV? This is a serious question in the age of information or misinformation we live in.

In our lesson today, we acted out two interviews. First we looked at Nicodemus, an important religious leader who knew God was with Jesus, because of the miracles Jesus had preformed and found out that no one can “know” God in a personal away apart from belief in His Son and experiencing a “new birth” through the Holy Spirit. Next we reenacted the conversation between Jesus and the woman at the well. This exchange revealed Jesus’ knowledge of the woman’s life and his compassion for her. In both situations the people has some light, some belief, and were given more.

Jesus influenced Nicodemus and the Woman at the well with truth and light. The question we each must answer is -- what are we doing with the truth and light that we are given?
This week would you read with your children John 3:17-21, and discuss it? An would you pray for Severn and me as we seek to guide your children in truth and light.

Thank you,
Nancy and Severn
