Kidz Garden Newsletter – 1/17/2010

Kidz Garden Newsletter – 1/19/2010

Welcome to the Fusion Kidz Garden Newsletter

IMPORTANT -TIME CHANGE FOR THIS SUNDAY ONLY Fusion will start at 6pm this Sunday only.  Read the whole story here.  We encourage all families to have dinner before church starts.  There are several family friendly restaurants near the mall including Baja Fresh, Panera, and Flip Side Pizza. For the Garden the classrooms will open at 5:50 for drop-off.  Service should end around 7:10 so as not to affect bedtimes too much.

Last Sunday the kids talked about their faith and heard three stories about Peter and his faith.  First they heard how Peter trusted Jesus enough to be able to walk on water.  Peter’s faith wavered a little and he started to sink but Jesus pulled him back out.  The next story they heard was how Jesus told Peter that his faith was strong like a rock.  The kids talked about how strong a rock was and how we should all be strong.  Finally the kids heard the story of Peter and John healing a man who could not walk.  Peter and John had such strong faith that they knew if they asked God to help them heal someone, He would.

Buzz at Home

If you haven’t gotten your cards yet or can’t find this week’s here is a summary of this week’s card:

This week, your child heard about how Peter learned to have faith in Jesus.  Ask your child to share what he or she learned about Peter growing in his faith.

Fill a large bowl or glass full of water.  Hold up the Smile Ball.  Ask your family to make predictions about whether the Smile Ball will float or sink. The drop the ball in the water and see who was right.  Discuss why you think Peter was able to walk on water, even though he should have sunk like the Smile Ball.

Ask:
*What does it mean to have faith?
*How did Peter show that he had faith?
*Tell some reasons we can believe that God is perfect, so we have faith in Jesus

Kidz Garden Newsletter – 1/19/2010Drop off & Pick up

Now that we’ve moved to the hotel we’d like to go over the new drop off and pick up policies.

Your families names tags will be located in the hallway between the toddler and Pre-K classrooms. Please get your parent tags and children’s tags before taking them into worship or their classrooms.

At drop off please wait at the front door until a volunteer for that room finishes checking your child in. Use this time the let the teacher know anything they might need to know for the night (child is teething, didn’t nap and is cranky, started walking/crawling, etc)

For pick up please wait at the front door again until a teacher checks your child out. At this time they can explain the craft the children made. It also helps us ensure the safety of the children by knowing who’s care they are in.

Please try to pick up your children by 6:45. If something comes up you can give your tag to someone you trust and ask them to pick up your children.

Once you’ve picked up your child please refrain from letting them go back into any of the classrooms. This is for the safely of your children as well as to allow our volunteers time to get everything cleaned and packed up.

Welcome To The Garden

Kidz Garden Newsletter – 1/19/2010

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.

The Watering Can

Mix up a package of blue Jello.  When the Jello is half-way set add in some gummy fish and or sea creatures.  Once the Jello is completely set use Sour Patch Kids to represent the disciples and Jesus.  For extra fun use licorice for boats and find other candy to add to your scene.

Looking Ahead

One of our goals in the Kidz Garden is to help families continue the discussions we start on Sunday throughout the week.  We hope this newsletter and it’s information helps you with this.

If you’d like to start preparing your child for next weeks service at the end of the week we will begin listing the next topic here.

Next Sunday the children will hear the story of Saul and how God helped him change his heart. Acts 9:1-19
