NEW LIFE KIDS
Summer 2025 Sunday Mornings
This summer families with kids will get a chance to spend some time in worship together. Families will check in as usual, but instead of dropping their child/ren off at the elementary room they will accompany their child/ren to the Sanctuary. Families with preschoolers can drop off their child/ren or bring them to the Sanctuary. The child/ren will stay in service through music and prayer. At that point, Elementary Room Leaders will be at the doors to escort the elementary and any preschool children back to their rooms. Kids will then have their age appropriate lesson & activities. Pick up will be as usual, we will be asking for stickers.
Why are we doing this?
As we strive to create a more intergenerational church community we acknowledge that church is for everyone. Giving New Life Kids the opportunity to share in the worship experience is an important extension of that mission. Including kids in adult worship services offers several benefits including modeling faith and enriching the worship experience. Children learn by observing, and participating in worship alongside adults helps them understand its importance and fosters a sense of belonging within our church community. And lastly, families are strengthened when they worship together and this gives families the opportunity to share in the same experience. We look forward to worshipping and building connections together this summer!
New Life Kids Sunday Morning Programs
10 a.m. - The New Life Kids Experience
June 2025 Theme Elementary Kids
All summer long, our elementary kids will be hearing about God's call to action: to "Live It Out"!
What are we living out, though?! The answer: God's hope and desire for each of us- to love other people the way Jesus did. This may sound easy, but putting it into practice can actually be a little hard. We will talk about ways to implement living our faith out by being peacemakers, looking out for one another, and encouraging & accepting others.
The more we become like Jesus, the more we can make a true difference in this world and in the lives of those around us.
June 2025 Theme Preschool Kids
What do you do when you don’t know how to do something? Do you pick up your phone and do a quick search? Or do you find someone who knows how to do it and just ask them, “Hey, can you please show me how to do this?” We all need people to show us how to do things, and when it comes to how to love others, well, there’s only One who can truly show us how—Jesus! This month, we are going to discover how to live it out and love like Jesus. No matter how young or old you are, we all need Jesus to show us how to love others. Together, we will point preschoolers to the One who came to show them how to do the most important thing: loving others the way Jesus loves them.
The New Life Kids experience is offered to all children every Sunday at 10am, infants through 5th grade. We provide a loving, fun, and safe environment for children to grow in their knowledge, love for Jesus and others.
We use the Orange First Look Curriculum with our Preschoolers. They enjoy age-appropriate stories from the Bible with fun activities and crafts to help them learn about Jesus.
We use the Orange 252 Basics Curriculum with our Elementary Kids. This allows the children to begin in a Large Group where they participate in an interactive experience before separating into age appropriate smaller groups where they dive deeper into scripture and how it relates to them.
Kids will leave knowing how to model themselves like Jesus in Luke 2:52 using three basic truths:
“I need to make the wise choice.”
“I can trust God no matter what.”
“I should treat others the way I want to be treated.”
We invite your child(ren) to join us in New Life Kids every Sunday to experience Bible stories as they come to life.
