What's in a Name?
Good afternoon!
The past couple of weeks back in Kidz Zone we have been learning about prayer...BUT not just any prayer...The Lord's Prayer! We are learning how to pray it and why Jesus taught it to us in Matthew 6:9b-13.
This past week we were focusing on the second line..."hallowed by your name." So that it is easier for the children to understand, we are using a version that says "may your name always be kept holy." We talked about how most names have other meanings, for example...Michael and Michelle mean "Who is Like God?," Sofia means "wise," Carmen means "song," Christina means "follower of Christ," and Hannah means "grace,"
just to name a few. We then started talking about how it makes us feel when someone makes fun of our name. The kids learned that God is the most important name and by saying "hallowed by your name," we are respecting God's name and saying how much we love God!
This past Sunday, March 20th was the last day of our Penny Wars. We raised $261.33 to buy animals for struggling families in third world countries through World Vision. The kids all did a great job and I will announce the winner this coming Sunday during Kid Worship!
Have a great week:)

Are you being a good Sheep Dog?
Life has been crazy the past 3 weeks. I have learned how precious life is and the necessity of sharing God with others! Not just through words but through actions.
During Kid Worship this past Sunday, the kids and I discussed sheep dogs. Our Bible Text was "The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need."~ Psalm 23:1 A sheep dogs job is to take care of the sheep when they get in trouble or fall away from the herd. The kids learned that Jesus the our Good Shepherd and that we are all God's sheep. We need to share the love of Jesus with everyone around us and help them if they start to fall away from the herd. So make sure the rest of the week, you are being good Sheep Dog!
This past Sunday we started our new set of songs! The kids had a great time and love the new songs...adults are always welcome to come back and see these kids worshipping God! For the next 7 weeks our discussion time will be focusing on prayer, more specifically how Jesus taught us to pray...The Lord's Prayer.
God Bless you all:)
