Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter Dear *|FNAME|*, This week the kids continued learning about how God is faithful through prayer and His armor. The preschool group continued the story of Paul and Silas in jail. The PreK and Elementary classes heard about how Pharisees did not wear the body armor of Righteousness. In the preschool class the children learned about praising God when he helps us. Paul & Silas were still in jail when there was an earthquake and their chains broke free. They praised God for helping them. The Pharisees were supposed to teach people to love God, but instead they made up rules for people to follow that made them look good. Jesus got very angry at the Pharisees because they weren’t making right choices in teaching people to love God. The kids talked about the kind of right choices they can make at home and in situations with friends. |

Family Worship July 4th On Sunday July 4th we will have family worship during opening worship. We invite all families to bring all of their children in for worship so you can share the experience as a family. After opening worship the infant, toddler, and preschool classrooms will open. We invite the children in the PreK and Elementary classes to stay with their families during service and spend time learning about God in “Big Church.” |

Christmas in July It’s time to prepare for Operation Christmas Child! Before the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season is upon us, we are getting a head start on helping others! The Fusion Kidz Garden will be collecting plastic shoe boxes, hard candy, school supplies, tooth brushes & toothpaste, bars of soap, wash cloths, small toys, playing cards, balls, craft supplies, small stuffed animals, and other appropriate toys/health care items during the month of July to jump start our OCC project. The collection bin will be available in the Kidz Garden area of the lobby. If you have any questions please see Tanya Curtis or Clare Davis. |

Watering Can: Making Choices While in jail Paul and Silas made the right choice to keep their faith in God and praise him. The Pharisees did not make the right choices in teaching people how to love God. Using paper plates, sticks, yarn, googly eyes, markers, and other supplies you might have at home draw faces on two plates. Make one a happy face and the other a sad face. Glue the plates together with the stick in the middle so you can turn the plate to either show a happy or sad face. Talk about different situations your children might encounter and ask them how they would feel. Then talk about what the right choice and the wrong choice would be in those situations. For example – You break your sibling’s toy (you would feel sad) Right choice – apologize and try to help fix it. Wrong choice: Hide it or lie that you didn’t do it. Another one could be – Someone does something nice for you (you would feel happy) Right choice – Say thank you think of something nice you can do for them or someone else. Wrong choice – Don’t say thank you and complain if it’s not perfect or brag about what happened. |

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. |
