UPCOMING
Palm Sunday, 22 March
the children will join our All-Age Service and participate in a Palm Sunday Parade at the beginning of the service. They will wave palm branches during the third song.
We warmly invite parents to accompany younger children or those who may be reluctant to join on their own, as it mirrors the crowds who welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. To participate, children will practice at the start of both the 9:30 and 11:30 Kidzone sessions, so please arrive a bit earlier to ensure they don’t miss the practice.
During the All-Age Service, children will gather in the back row to join the parade during the third song, then return to sit with their parents. Please arrive on time to avoid missing the parade.
Sunday, 15 March
Is the 3rd Sunday of the month, which means that children and youth start in church before leaving for their individual programs, and we have morning tea after the two services.
Teachers will bring the children up to be collected from upstairs before enjoying morning tea in the covered area.
Please bring some snacks and food to share! Homemade goodies are especially welcome. Thank you!
WHAT THE CHILDREN WILL LEARN
Creche: Children will hear a story based on Mark 4, how Jesus calmed a storm at sea.
2022-2021: Focus – Jesus wants us to be sorry when we do wrong, as seen in Luke 19:8.
2020-2015: Focus – Jesus is the good news! During March, children will learn about the 400 years between the Old and New Testaments, the New Testament, Jesus the Teacher and Messiah, and Jesus Death and Resurrection as we prepare for Easter. This Sunday, they will learn about the New Testament and the four Jewish religious groups that were around at the time of Jesus.
PRAYING FOR YOUR CHILDREN
The assignment to pray for our children is one of the most important aspects of parenting. Each week, I will share a suggested prayer idea and verse.
I pray that my child/ren will: Commit their lives to make Jesus Lord and be filled with Your Spirit.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that my child/ren will recognise that Jesus is the Name above all names and will confess Him as Lord of all. I pray they will trust Him with all their heart, not lean on their own understanding, and acknowledge He is Lord in everything; thus, You will guide them in Your best way for them. May they be filled with Your Spirit to the fullness of Christ. Phi. 2:9-11, Prov. 3:5-6, Eph. 5:18, 1:23, 4:13.
We look forward to worshipping together with you this coming Sunday.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Warmly,
Carol
