COMING THIS MONTH...
  • The virtue in Kidz Church for the month of April is Humility, which means we will be learning about "Putting others first by giving up what you think you deserve".
     
  • The Bible Bucks Store will be open this weekend, April 2nd & 3rd. 
WHAT WILL MY CHILD LEARN THIS MONTH?

WEEK 1 - April 2 & 3
Bottom Line: I can put others first by serving them. Kids will learn that they don't need to wash their friends' feet to show humility, but they can serve them and put them first. We pray this will be a powerful week for kids as they see how much Jesus did for them and how they can respond to Him by how they treat others.

WEEK 2 - April 9 & 10
Bottom Line: I can put others first by letting go of what I want. At some point in our lives, we'll be faced with a decision to give up something we want for what someone else wants. For Jesus this was a matter of life and death. While that may not be the case for us, showing humility in these situations is still important. We pray that kids will realize that showing humility is often more important than getting their way.

WEEK 3 - April 16 & 17
Bottom Line: I can put others first because Jesus put me first. It cost Jesus everything to put us first. He gave up His life, so we could be with God forever. As we respond to God and His gift of salvation, we can follow Jesus' example and put others first.

WEEK 4 - April 23 & 24
Bottom Line: I can put others first by doing what Jesus said. We get to continue the mission that Jesus gave His disciples all those years ago. When we choose to share Jesus' love with others, we're putting them first. We pray that kids will realize that they have an important role in God's One Big Story.

WEEK 5 - April 30 & May 1
Bottom Line: Put others first. We hope that when kids take a look at the people around them, that they will start to understand just how much Jesus loves them, it will change the way we treat them, and they'll make sure to put them first.
Parent Cue App

Every month, Parent Cue will focus on one specific virtue, or life application. You will receive prompts for videos, activities, discussion questions and more that will help you connect with your child around this one key virtue. These prompts will come in the form of Drive Time videos, Hang Time activities, and Meal Time discussion starters to help you fit them into the day-to-day moments of your routine. There's even a section just for you called Parent Time that's filled with parent blogs, podcasts and more.

The Parent Cue App is available for download on iPhone, Android, and Google powered devices. 

WHEN PARENTS DISAGREE ABOUT HOW TO ENFORCE THE RULES...
By: Carey Nieuwhof

So you might have noticed there's this tension in parenting. The tension between the parent who wants to enforce the rules and the parent who wants to focus on the relationship. You know what I mean... One parent says, "It's lights-out at the sleep over at 10 p.m.," and the other parent, faced with pressure from her despondent ten-year-old daughter and not wanting to disappoint, lets the kids stay up until midnight because nobody likes a mean parent.
