Howdy Parents! I am writing this update a few hours early since it's daylight savings time tomorrow and we'll be springing ahead and losing an hour. I need all the sleep I can get on a Sunday morning, so I'll sneak in a little time tonight.
    This week, we will worship together in KidSong, and our worship set will contain the new I Will Follow song as featured in the last post, as well as I Wanna Follow Jesus, and God is Great. There will be some quiet worship time with Mighty to Save. I am hoping to have some new CDs or a downloadable playlist up soon so that you can worship along with your kids anytime.
    Togetherland, our preschool environment, will continue their Jesus has the Power series, on miracles. This week is the feeding of the 5,000, when Jesus multiplied a small gift of bread and fish into enough for a crowd. Be sure to talk about it next time you serve Goldfish for a snack!
    Konnect Kids are still On the Trail, this time literally, as we stop on the roadside to hear about the people who thought about following Jesus, but had other dreams they wanted to follow as well. We'll talk about the dreams we have for our futures, and discover the best goal is to FOLLOW JESUS, our target for the week. There will be obstacle courses and trail mix, cowboys and astronauts, all to help your child FOLLOW JESUS more closely.
    Our memory verse is Colossians 2:6 "Now as you accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, you must continue to follow Him."
    Use the Trail Journal this week to see how John and his friends learned to FOLLOW JESUS.
    Can't wait to saddle up and get to it tomorrow! Hope to see you bright and early at KidSong!

Hey Parents! Here's a new song for our On the Trail series!

    Hi Parents! We are so excited for KidSong this week! Both groups are starting new series, and we have some new worship to celebrate God!
    In Togetherland, we begin a unit on the miracles of Jesus called "Jesus Has Power". Kids will be encouraged to think of all the amazing things Jesus has done. Today we will hear about Jesus power to heal. Stay tuned for the memory verse!
    In Konnect, it is the kick off week of our new On the Trail series, where we join Jesus and the disciples on the trail to Jerusalem as Jesus prepares for the cross. First stop is the mount of Transfiguration as the disciples are challenged on what it means to really know Jesus. They knew the teacher, the leader, their friend, but the Son of God who talks to the prophets, is loved by the Father, and will rise from the dead? We will all be encouraged to hit our target this week and KNOW JESUS for who He is, God's Son.
    Our verse this week is Philippians 3:10 -" I want to know Christ better. I want to know the power that raised Him from the dead."
    Get your kids ready for a wild time on the trail, with high speed games, rocks and clouds trail mix, and a whole new look at Jesus!
    We will be posting our new worship videos on the site soon, so be on the lookout!

Welcome to our all-new series for Lent this year. We will be joining Jesus on the trail to Jerusalem, from the mount of Transfiguration to the gates of the great city; stopping along the way at Mary and Martha's house, the leper's colony, and a roadside inn. Every week, we will have a target to hit as we journey - a way that we will discover more about Jesus and how we can follow Him. Come on the trail with us every Sunday though Easter!

    Hey Parents, I hope your families are ready for a great week! There will be some great stuff happening today in KidSong! We will be wrapping up this worship series, so the kids will be singing their hearts out to Jesus Loves Me, My Best Friend, and Forever. It has been such a joy to watch them grow in worship this month.
     In Togetherland, your preschooler will discover many ways of being thankful to God for what He has given us. Be on the lookout for a special craft that shows that we can be thankful for our families, food, homes, and world.
    The Remember Verse are the same as last weeks - " A person must follow only the teachings of Christ." 2 John 9

    Konnect kids get a treat today as they are led by Mrs. Magali, and discover how God worked through a prophet and a king, Isaiah and Hezekiah. They'll scramble for Scripture, create a craft, and practice their chopstick skills with some very "hot" tamales! These things will help stick the lesson in their minds and hearts.
    The memory verse for this week is " And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8
    This will be the last week of Konnect's regular teaching series for the winter; next week we'll start an adventure with Jesus as we follow Him on the trail to Jerusalem during the Lenten and Easter season.

    Welcome to another wonderful week in KidSong!
    In Togetherland, your preschoolers will learn to follow Jesus by being good helpers. We will act out the story of the Good Samaritan, and make a craft that will remind us to help others. Be sure to put this in a special place. I know all parents will enjoy the Good Helper coupons, special cards that will give your child practical ways to follow Jesus in servanthood.
    Our Remember Verse is the same as last week. "A person must continue to follow only the teachings of Christ." 2 John 9

    In Konnect, Jonah will learn a big lesson about loving His enemies and following God's plan, and not his own. There will be fish made of paper plates, prophets made of peeps, and an epic game of Go Fish!
    This week's memory verse is, "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you." Luke 6:27

    As always, today in KidSong, all ages will gather in worship and song, dance and prayer as we celebrate our Great Big God!

    Welcome to another great week in KidSong! Today we're adding a new worship song - stay tuned to the blog for the video!
   This week in Togetherland, your preschooler will learn to follow Jesus by sharing with others. They'll make paper baskets of sweets to share, have a sensory table of birdseed to take turns sharing, run a Munchkin sharing relay, and hear the story of the man who didn't want to share (Luke 12:13-21). It's a day full of love for others.
        The Remember Verse for this unit is still "A person must follow only the teachings of Christ" 2 John 9

        Konnect kids are going to have a hands-on experience with the miracles of Elisha, as they do an object lesson with floating soda cans, and have a tasty treat that reminds them of Naaman's healing.
        The memory verse for this week is " No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love Him."
1 Corinthians 2:9
     So get your kids up, get some coffee, and get to KidSong. It's going to be a fantastic week!

     Welcome to another great week in KidSong! All kids will be worshipping together as we continue our worship theme "Jesus loves Me!" I hope you've learned the songs and motions by now from your kids!
  Today in Togetherland, we begin a new unit, learning to Follow Jesus. We will follow Jesus in prayer, sharing, helpfulness, and thankfulness in the next few weeks.
  This week's lesson is the Lord's Prayer, and we will explore all the times you can pray!
  Our Remember Verse for this unit is "A person must continue to follow only the teaching of Christ" 2 John 9.
    Ask your preschooler about their prayer puzzle!
   Konnect continues with their study of the prophets of God, this week learning about Elijah passing his mantle to Elijah. There will be chariots of fire, overflowing oil jars, and fruit roll-up mantles to make sure this lesson "sticks"!
    The memory verse this week is "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." Colossians 3:12

Good Morning KidSong Parents! I am really excited for what will happen today in KidSong and I can't wait to tell you all about it! We will join together and worship God, with the songs  "Jesus You Are My Best Friend",
"Yes! Jesus Loves Me" (see the previous posts for videos) and "Yesterday, Today, and Forever" . We'll use our voices, some instruments, and our whole bodies to show how much we love God and how happy we are to celebrate Him today! 

    
      In Togetherland, we are continuing our unit on Jesus is a Friend, with the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well. This is not a story that leaps easily to the mind when thinking about preschoolers, but it shows that Jesus was a friend to someone who was very different from him. Today, they'll learn that they can be friends with all kinds of people who are different, because Jesus showed friendship to the woman at the well. 
    The remember verse is still "Love each other as I have loved you." John 15:12
   
     In Konnect, your elementary kids will see how God was with Elijah; that God fed him in the desert and spoke to him in a still, small voice; that God used him to get the attention of a whole country with a drought that would remind people to look to God as their hope. There will be popcorn tossing, paper crafting, and a stop-and-go game, that will engage all their senses, and that's after the story is told by Legos in our "See It" video!  
  The memory verse this week is 
    Psalm 55:22 “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain       you; he will never let the righteous fall.”

Another great song from KidSong, brought to us by the Go Fish Guys!
