Kids Inc

This week’s Bible story came from Matthew 19 and Mark 10. One day people brought children to Jesus, hoping Jesus would bless them. When the disciples tried to keep the children away, Jesus rebuked them. Jesus told everyone there that the kingdom of God belongs to children. Preschoolers can know that Jesus welcomed the children in the Bible story, and He welcomes them, too, because He made them with worth. Ask your preschoolers to share with you a toy or possession that they value and that is important to them. Share that your preschoolers that God values them very much because He made them with worth and value!

Take 1 day this week to highlight these 2 things and spend 3 minutes talking about them: Create a simple name tag for your preschooler. Ask, “What is on a name tag? (Your name!) A name tag reminds people of your name. You can know that God knows your name and everything about you because He loves you and made you with worth.”

Help your preschoolers trace their hands on different pieces of paper using different colors. Mix up the papers and challenge your preschoolers to find certain colors as quickly as they can. Point out that the handprints are small because they are smaller people; they are still growing. Talk about how preschoolers can know that God sees and knows them even though they are young. God made them with worth, and He loves them.

Jesus showed that God made us with worth, as seen in this week’s Bible story from Matthew 19 and Mark 10. People were bringing their children to Jesus, hoping He would bless them. But when the disciples rebuked them, Jesus grew upset. He invited the children to come to Him, saying that the kingdom of God belongs to them. Kids can know that God made them with worth right here and now. Find times this week to tell your kids, “You are so loved and valued!” Do this at random times (not when your kids do something special) so kids know their value is not in what they do but who they are.

This week, take 1 day to ask these 2 questions and spend 3 minutes talking about them: What makes you valuable and important? What do you think God would say about what makes you valuable and important?

Create a paper chain to help your child remember that God values us and made us with worth. Cut paper strips and provide several for your family members. Invite them to write amazing and unique characteristics about themselves. Form the strips into circles, interlocking and securing the strips to make a chain. Celebrate the amazing ways God has made your family members with worth.

Our goal is simple–volunteers show kids the love of Jesus! All volunteers are screened with thorough Federal background checks, so they are able to provide safety and spiritual guidance to your child. Plus, you can be a part of our talented Children’s Ministry!

Are your kids starting to ask a lot of questions about God, Jesus, and Baptism? If so, "Start Here" is designed for you and your kids to begin a life-long conversation about faith. This class will be held in the Side Lobby.
