Bible Blitz Review Sunday
Bible Blitz Sunday September 9th!
On September 9th we'll be playing a whole group review game going over the past 4 lessons. Want to review them with your child? The August newsletter (see your inbox or Facebook) had the first 3 lessons listed in it:Children of God, A Transformed Mind, & Fruits of the Spirit. Our lesson for September 2 is below and is also part of the game. Bible Blitz Sunday is also their opportunity to say our verse from memory, which we've been practicing all of August.

Kindergarten might stay and join, or may do their own review activities in their room, depending on amount of kids that day.
Practice the verse with your child! They get to pick a prize/treat if they say it on September 9th!
September 30th is Super Hero & Soldier Sunday!
Plan now for a FUN 5th Sunday in September:
Super Hero & Soldier Sunday!
After learning about the armor of God on the 16th, and then the Heroes of Faith on the 23rd, we are going to end our month with a fun Sunday!

The children are welcome to come dressed in a super hero or soldier costume on Sunday the 30th ! If they choose to wear a mask, just warn them that there may be times during class that they are asked to remove it.

RULES: no "bad guys/villains", no weapons.
Our Sunday will be filled with fun activities, crafts, games, etc., that focus around the armor of God and the super heroes of the Bible! Wondering who these heroes are? Read Hebrews chapter 11!

We finish unit 33 of The Gospel Project - The God Who Changes Us
We have been learning that when you become a follower of Jesus and believe in Him, the power of the Holy Spirit transforms and changes you! Some of the changes are immediate, and some take time. This month we finish our lessons in this unit.

New Discipleship Program beginning in September
We believe our Gospel Project curriculum and our process of big & small groups helps us teach kids the truth about our need for a Savior, and who that Savior is! We are now adding a 1:2 component to our program, where a mature Christian leader meets with 2 children and walks them through a more individualized process to help them grow Spiritually. Pray for our discipling leaders - we currently have 3 who have stepped up! Pray that God will give them wisdom, and that children's faith will be nurtured!
