Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter Summer has come to an end. The hustle of getting kids ready for school and end of summer vacations means this is once again a two weeks for one special newsletter. In the Preschool class the kids started the story of Jonah and how he didn’t obey God. The kids have talked about the importance of obeying God and parents. Obeying God is difficult at any age. Talk about how the things God asks us to do are the right things for us to do. It is important that we obey God. In PreK & Elementary on the 22nd the kids heard the story of the rich man who asks about salvation and how he wouldn’t able to give up everything he had to follow Jesus. On the 29th the story was Paul and Silas teaching the people in jail about Jesus and how the jailers were saved and baptized in the end. Salvation is and very important subject to discuss with your children. Spend some time reviewing these stories with your children to help them understand more. |

Operation Christmas Child – Donation Time Again
We’d love to use all plastic shoe boxes this year because the familes can then use those boxes to store food and other items at their houses. If you’d be willing to donate plastice shoe boxes that would be wonderful. The cost of shipping for each box is $7. To reach our goal of 45 boxes we’ll need $315. 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. |

Classroom Move-Ups This year our new curriculum will begin the first Sunday of October. We will use the last Sunday of September to transition any kids who are moving into their new classroom and review some of the topics we covered last year. For review the classrooms are divided as follows: Infant: 6wks – walking, move up based on development Toddler: walking – 2yrs old, move up the first Sunday of the month following their 2nd birthday Preschool: 2yrs-4yrs, move up in the Fall if they are 4 before Oct 1st Elementary: 4yrs-10yrs, graduate upon completion of 5th grade These guidelines were developed with the children’s safety and capabilities in mind. All classroom placements are at the discretion of the coordinator and exceptions may be made on a case by case basis. No matter what classroom your child is in they will be taught by volunteers who love them and love Jesus. |

Watering Can: I Will Follow Jesus The theme for the summer has been about how God is faithful. Both classes this week saw how if we have faith in God and trust him things will work out. Jonah was saved by the fish and delivered to Nineveh and Paul and Silas got out of jail. On a piece of construction paper or poster board write “I Will Follow Jesus”. Then trace your child’s foot. Add pictures of your child at home, school, church, the playground or other areas where they can follow Jesus. If you don’t have pictures draw your own. Hang the poster up in their room to help them remember that they can follow Jesus everywhere they go. |

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. |

Come See What the Boz is All About 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. We invite all the families to come early to Fusion on the 26th of September to find out more about the changes in your child(ren)’s classroom. We’ll have snacks and a video for the kids while the parents hear more about our vision for the ministry and the exciting things we have planned for the next year. |
