We will have a swim party at my house this coming Tuesday night at 6:00p.m.  We will grill dogs and swim.  Every child should have an adult who STAYS with them.  I will be sending out a letter this Sunday with kids, be sure to ask for it if they get out without it.

KidzPointe – July 27

Jul 22, 2008   //   by tisha   //   news-old  //  No Comments

Hello everyone!

I am looking forward to this Sunday!  It is going to be awesome- the lesson is great and the activities line up with it well.  Not to mention that the activities include a science experiment.  I can’t wait.  We will also be doing something with shoestring potatoes(with another activity) and rubber bands. 

It was very hot outside last week.  This week everything is inside except one activity and it should not take long at all.

All this month’s lessons on self-control boil down to this:  Think before you act.  The hardest time to think before you act is when you are really angry.  Even when your temper is on the rise, maybe even especially when your temper is on the rise, we need to have self-control.  This week we are focusing on CHECK YOUR TEMPER.  Kids should be able to understand these statements(in their own words and understanding) after conclusion of this week.  Self-control is choosing to do what you should do, not what you want to do.  God has a massive amount of self-control.  He doesn’t lose His temper.  Every move he makes is calculated and perfect.  God wants us to have self-control, even when we are angry.  Why?  Because the decisions we make when we get angry could change our lives forever.  We will focus this week on losing tempers, the choices we make and what we say and do matters.

Virtue:  Self-Control -choosing to do what you should do, not what you wnat to do.

Memory Verse:  “A man who can’t control himself is like a city whose walls are broken down” Proverbs 25:28 (NIrV)

Bible Story:  Check your Temper (Water from the rock) Numbers 20:1-12

Bottom Line:  Losing your temper always cost you something

Time permitted we will be digging a little more into prayer.

Just a note – pretty much all of the kids know their memory verse already!  That’s cool!

Kidzpointe July 13

This week I will be leaving town Sunday morning, therefore I will not be there.  Ms. Van, Ms. Courtney, Ms. Pam and Ms. Natalie will be teaching this Sunday.  I am not sure about activities planned but the same virtue that we started last week will continue.  For those of you who are new – we work on the same memory verse and virtue all month.  Most all of the kids know the virtue, understand the meaning and how to apply it by the end of the month as well as the memory verse.  The only thing that really changes during a month is how to apply it (which is the bottom line), and the bible story changes or continues off the original from the first of the month.  The following is for this week.

Hold Your Tongue

 

 

Virtue: – Self Control

Memory Verse:  “A man who can’t control himself is like a city whose walls are broken down.”Proverbs 25:28, NIrV
Bible Story: – Hold Your Tongue (Taming the tongue) •†James 3:1-12 

Bottom Line: – Just a few words can make a big difference. 

Name three

“easy” jobs. Chocolate taste tester? Relaxation coach for a walrus? Director of ticket sales for a Hannah Montana concert? What about three “hard” jobs? Maybe being paired with Tiger Woods for the final 18 … teaching ninth-grade algebra … taming a lion? Guess what the Bible says? Controlling our tongues is harder than any of those. In fact, James 3:6 (NIV) refers to the tongue as “a world of evil” and “set on fire by hell.” Yikes! Does that sound like a tongue you know? When it comes to words, (1) self-control involves saying what we SHOULD instead of what we WANT. (2) It’s best demonstrated by a perfectly loving and perfectly controlled God whose words are “a lamp unto our feet” instead of the tongue lashing we deserve! (3) When we actively practice control of our tongues (think: boss on an unjustified tirade, a referee’s “YOU’VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!” call that just cost your team the game, rush-hour traffic, arguing children …) we’re GONNA be noticed! (4) And when others notice, then what a difference just a few words can make when you get to use them to introduce someone to your great and faithful God!
It’s our second week of looking at self-control, and this week is all about the words we use. (1) (1) Self-control is choosing to do what you should do, not what you want to do. (2). God exhibits self-control whenever He gives us another chance, chooses to love us when we’re undeserving, or allows us to disobey and make mistakes. (3) God wants us to have self-control too. (4) One way you can show self-control is by keeping a close rein on the words you say—using your head when it comes to your tongue. We say thousands of words every day, and some of those are hurtful or said in anger. Practicing self-control when it comes to your words is hard, but oh, so important.

Congrats to Dylan Welch, Hannah Schmmock, and Jacob Westbrook for remembering the memory verse after just hearing it 3 times.

I WILL DEFINATELY MISS ALL OF THE KIDS THIS WEEK BUT I WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT WEEK!

 

KidzPointe outreach this Saturday

Jul 10, 2008   //   by tisha   //   news-old  //  No Comments

Just a reminder – outreach this Saturday July 12

We will leave the church at 1:30 p.m. and return at 3:00 p.m.  Please make sure kids wear tennis shoes or comfortable walking shoes.  They need to be well hydrated with water or a sports drink before hand as it will be very hot.  You may even want to apply sunscreen before you leave.  I know this sounds kind of extreme but I had rather be safe than sorry so that everyone has a good time.  If you have a cooler with wheels please bring it.  I have their Kidzpointe T-shirts that we ordered and need them to wear them Saturday.  If you want to make arrangements to get it before Saturday please call me.  If you have any other questions or concerns call me at 257-6459 or 315-4674
