Bay Life Kids - Kids Live in 60 Seconds

In the book of Isaiah, Isaiah is called by God to be a messenger of His word. Isaiah's response is, "Here I am. Send me!" As Christians, we are called to share Christ with others every day, but do we answer God's call the same way Isaiah did? Think about that this week as you go about your daily errands. Perhaps it's soccer practice, the grocery store, school, wherever God calls you...be ready and say "Here I am.  Send me!"

Bay Life Kids Missions

Here’s the latest installment of the "Kids Live!" mission videos.  
You can support Team Honduras and other missions trips by running in Bay Life's Global 5K or 1K Fun Run on March 10th. We are encouraging our elementary students to participate and write "Bay Life Kids" on the sponsor line. Monies gathered by Bay Life Kids will be used to support those students going on a missions trip and also serving as an Elementary volunteer. You can walk, run, or even skip....just don't miss out!  Sign up to race today!

Bay Life Kids - Mission Team Video - Pawley's Island

Here is the second video of our Bay Life Kids "Support Missions" campaign: http://vimeo.com/36486953

Each week in Elementary, students in our "Hot Seat" participate in a service project. This session, we are supporting the Global 5K Cross Country Run & 1K Kids Fun Run. This annual event supports student and adult mission teams as they prepare to take the gospel to the ends of the earth this summer. We hope our students and families will participate in the race on March 10th, and help students serve outside of our community. This is a serve-to-serve situation! As we run, we are enabling others to go into the world and be the hands of God.
We have 20 student volunteers participating in missions trips this summer. Our hope is to send them! On each entry form is a line “The Student that I would like to support is”. We are asking all of our Elementary students to write “Bay Life Kids” in that blank. By doing so, the funds raised will be gathered and equally divided among our student volunteers. It’s a tangible way to say “thank you” for the time and care these students give to our ministry.
Whether you walk, run, or just give a donation, you are helping our students grow in Christ by serving others. Pick up your forms today at the INFOdesk in both buildings. If you have any race questions, please contact Sharon Poulton at
spoulton@baylife.org or call 661-3696 x.247.

BAY LIFE KIDS

What’s cool in PRESCHOOL? Kindness!

 2 Timothy 2:24 is our bible verse theme for the month, “Be kind to everyone”.

As the new Preschool Coordinator at Bay Life Church, I am so excited to see all of your precious little ones each weekend! We love having your little blessings to teach them about God, but you are the most influential person in their life everyday. We may plant the seeds in their hearts at church, but they need you to help them grow and flourish throughout the week. Talk to your kids during the week about what they have learned at church and help them see practical ways to use the lessons each day. 
Here is a cheat sheet for February: We are learning about being kind. 

Last week, we learned about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) that was kind to a stranger in need, as we covered everything in Band Aids.

This week, we learn about the Good Shepherd (Luke 15: 3-7) that went looking for his lost sheep. 

Next week, we will learn about the kind father that forgave his prodigal son (Luke 15:11-24). 

Our young children can learn about being kind to friends and family from the example Jesus demonstrates in his own teachings and actions. God wants us to be kind to everyone!  What a perfect time to show kindness to others. Teach your children that everyday is Valentine’s Day in God’s eyes. We should show love and kindness everyday in many ways….and chocolate is good everyday, too!! 

Happy Valentine’s Day everyday!
Jenifer Burnham ~ Bay Life Preschool Coordinator

As we run, we are enabling others to go into the world and be the hands of God.
On each entry form is a line “The Student that I would like to support is”. We are asking all of our elementary student/parent race participants to write "Bay Life Kids” in that blank. By doing so, the funds raised will be gathered and equally divided among our 20 student volunteers who are going on mission trips. It’s a tangible way to say “thank you” for the time and care these students give to our ministry.

Elementary Video - Kids Live in 60 Seconds: Lesson 22 - Esther
Click this link to see the video clip http://vimeo.com/36299905
Growing a child is a full time job. We have 20 different roles as parents and the list is never ending. As a church, we want to help with your most important job...discipling your child. We only see your child one day a week, but we want to give you opportunities to sit down with your child every week and read God’s word. To help with this, Kids Live Elementary Ministry, will be posting a review of what we covered on Sunday every week.
Take time this week to read through the scriptures and talk about it with your child. Keep our power point we learned in mind as you read.
Power Point: I will stand up for other Christians.
Memory Verse: And who knows but that you have come to your position for such a time as this? Esther 4:11
Scripture: Esther 2:17; 4:14 (Read Esther 2-7 for lesson background.)
