Theme of the Week: The Bible tells me stories about God

Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter

This Sunday the children heard the story of God taking care of the Israelites in the desert.  God provided manna each day for they would have food.  He always provided exactly how much they needed so everyone would be taken care of and no one had too much.

Talk to your child about how God cares for us like he did for the Israelites.  What kind of things does he give us each day to take care of us?  How can we show God we are thankful?

Halloween Service

Fusion will hold its service on October 31st at 11am.  The leadership team hopes this allows the members of the church to be home in their neighborhoods that evening.  This evening presents a wonderful opportunity to spend time in your neighborhood meeting and greeting your neighbors.  We hope everyone has a safe and fun evening and makes some new friends as well.

Operation Christmas Child – Donation Time Again

Thanks to your generosity we have received enough donations to cover the cost of shipping 45 shoe boxes!  Now it’s time to fill the shoe boxes! We’ll still collect items to fill the boxes and plastic shoe boxes to fill on Saturday.

We’ll have a packing party is on Saturday October 30th from 10-12 at the Pennington House – 1303 Hubner Ave. Catonsville.  We’d love for your family to join us.  Please feel free to bring a snack if you’d like, but most importantly we’d just love to spend time with you.

Samaritan’s Purse has informed us that Boys age 10-14 tend to get the least donations.  Decks of playing cards, socks, art supplies, small boxes of legos, or anything else you can think of would be greatly appreciated.

Have items to donate and can’t make it? If you have items to donate and can not make it on Saturday, please email us (kids@fusionfellowship.org) or get in touch with a Children’s Ministry team member!

Is your child a scout??? – Please let us know and we will get a patch to present to your child for helping out with Operation Chirstmas Child.

Memory Verses: New Verses

Welcome To The Garden

Your little ones are like seeds, ready to grow and become beautiful plants. All they need is some good soil, water, and of course sun. Your family provides the soil for their little roots to take hold in. We hope to work with you to provide water, the Word of God, to nourish them and help them feel the light of the Son.

Happy Birthday

Bible Truth: The Bible tells me stories about God

Memory Verse: Every word of God is perfect. Proverbs 30:5

Scripture Reference: Jonah 1-2

Bible Story: This week, take the lead in teaching your child the story of Jonah running away from God because he didn’t want to obey.  Read Jonah 1-2 in your own Bible before telling the story to your child from a children’s Bible.  Discuss how we cannot hide from God, because God is always with us.  Jonah disobeyed God, but God protected him inside the fish until Jonah had a change of heart.  God was patient with Jonah, just like he was patient with the people of Nineveh.  God’s way is always the best way.

Family Activity – Fishy Fishy: Discuss with your child how Jonah learned to obey God while he was in the fish, although it would have been better for him if he had obeyed right away.  Create simple fish shapes on a piece of paper, have your child color them, then cut the out.  Every time your child obeys you during the week, place a fish on your refrigerator (or a premade chart).  Set a goal for a certain number of fish to put up, the reward your child at the end of the week if that goal is attained.

Theme of the Week: The Bible is God’s Word

Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter

Our second week with the Boz curriculum was a great time once again.  Please make sure you get your child’s bag each week so you have their crafts, the homelink, and any other announcements from us.

The Bible story this week was Nehemiah 8:1-18.  This is the story of Ezra finding the Book of Law and sharing it with people.  Everyone listened to Ezra and celebrated God for seven days.  How often does your family have a party to celebrate the Bible and the wonderful things it teaches us about God?

If your child is in the Elementary class and has their own Bible we encourage them to bring it with them on Sunday.  We will be reading out of the Bible each week and learning how to find passages in the Bible.

Halloween Service

Fusion will hold its service on October 31st at 11am.  The leadership team hopes this allows the members of the church to be home in their neighborhoods that evening.  This evening presents a wonderful opportunity to spend time in your neighborhood meeting and greeting your neighbors.  We hope everyone has a safe and fun evening and makes some new friends as well.

Operation Christmas Child – Donation Time Again

Thank you to everyone for the donations last week.  We now have $130 towards our goal of $350.  We’re still collecting items to fill the boxes as well as plastic shoe boxes to fill.

Samaritan’s Purse has informed us that Boys age 10-14 tend to get the least amount donations.  Decks of playing cards, socks, art supplies, small boxes of legos, or anything else you can think of would be greatly appreciated.

Next week is our last Sunday collection.  We’ll have a packing party is on Saturday October 30th from 10-12.  We’d love for your family to join us.  Please feel free to bring a snack if you’d like, but most importantly we’d just love to spend time with you.

Bible Truth: The Bible tells me stories about God

Memory Verse: Every word of God is perfect. Proverbs 30:5

Scripture Reference: Exodus 16:1-32

Bible Story: This week, take the lead in teaching your child about how God provided for the Israelites in the desert.  Read Exodus 16:1-31 in a Bible before sharing the story with your child.  The Israelites had no food.  God sent manna every morning to feed them, so they would know he was caring for them.  God gave them just enough for each day so they would continue depending on Him.  The Bible tells us stories like this about God so we can learn about the awesome God we serve.

Family Activity – Manna in the Morning: Sprinkle cotton balls on the floor of your child’s bedroom and leave a small bowl nearby.  Each cotton ball represents one piece of manna.  Some morning this week, have your child gather one cotton ball for each meal and snack time of that day.  Have your child give you one piece of “Manna” in exchange for each meal or snack.  By the end of the day, all the manna should gone.  Remind your child that God meets our needs one day at a time.

Theme of the Week: The Bible is God’s Word

Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter

We had a great week at the fall festival last Sunday!  Thanks to everyone who came out and helped and had a great time!

Two weeks ago we had our first week with the Boz curriculum and it went over fabulously.  I hope your kids enjoyed the lessons and activities.  Your child should have brought home a bag they decorated filled with their craft and other important information.  Please make sure you get your child’s bag each week.  They will have the Home Link portion of our curriculum (described below) as well as other information for your family.

The Bible story this week was 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 1 John 5:13.  These passages teach the children that what we read in the Bible is God’s word.  And that he gave us these words to help us learn and grow in our relationship with him.  Spend some time with your child looking through your Bible and tell them about some of your favorite stories.

If your child is in the Elementary class and has their own Bible we encourage them to bring it with them on Sunday.  We will be reading out of the Bible each week and learning how to find passages in the Bible.

Operation Christmas Child – Donation Time Again

Toy collection has been going well.  Please remember to bring your donations each Sunday.  Spread the word to your other friends as well.

We will collect items through the end of September and the month of October.  Our packing party is tentatively schedule for Saturday October 30th.  We’ll have a great time with food and music while we pack up the boxes.  I hope your family can join us.

Bible Truth: The Bible is God’s Word

Memory Verse: I will obey your word. Psalm 119:17

Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 8:1-18

Bible Story: Although the Israelites got the walls rebuilt, their lives still lay in ruin.  The only thing that could rebuild their lives was the Word of God.  Daily, Ezra read God’s Word to the people.  It helped strengthen and encourage them during this difficult time.  Let your child know that God’s Word will do the same for us today as we take time to listen to it.

Family Activity – Time to Build: Work together with your child on a building project.  Use building bricks, logs, or rocks to construct walls.  Discuss what a hard job it must have been for the Israelites to build their walls without construction tools and vehicles we have today.  Talk about how God’s Word can help us when we face a tough task because it gives us wisdom and encouragement and reminds us how great God is.

Theme of the Week: God Gives Us The Bible

Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter

Our Summer program is finished.  Last Sunday we got all the kids together and talked about Noah and God’s promise to him.

This week we’re excited to start our new curriculum.  We’ll be talking about the Bible for the first unit and how we can use it to learn about God.

Take out your Bible and talk about it with your child.  Show them the different sections and names of the books.  Talk about how people in different countries read the Bible too.

Fall Festival

Fusion is hosting a Fall Festival on October 10th.  We’re planning some fun activities for the kids.  If you’d be willing to donate candy for a Hay Bale Hunt we’d appreciate it.  We need small individually wrapped candies please.  You can bring donations to church on Sunday, or make arrangements with Katy Linda.

If you have other ideas or items you’d like to donate please see Hillary Pennington.

Memory Verses: New Verses

Looking Ahead

Our new curriculum for the year is based off of the popular children’s character Boz.  The Preschool class uses the popular character Boz to help kids learn more about God and His love for them.  Our older children will be reading directly out of the Bible and hearing the same stories as the younger kids, but on their level.  All the classes will continue to use stories, games, drama, songs, arts & crafts, and discussion to engage all of the children.
