Bay Life Kids - Kids Live in 60 Seconds

In our elementary classes, we learned about Jonah and how disobedience brings trouble! Just take a look at the story of Jonah in the Old Testament. God asked him to go to Ninevah and he went in the opposite direction. His disobedience brought BIG trouble in the form of a fish...a BIG fish!! After three days inside the belly of the fish, Jonah got a second chance to obey God. Don't hope for a second chance when it comes to disobedience. Follow God's commands the first time!

Speaking of BIG fish....have you seen Fred..the Bay Shark? Fred is our Feed The Bay Shark. It's Bay Life Kids' way of helping with Feed The Bay, the local community outreach to help feed families in need. Just bring any non-perishable item into our Student Center lobby and you can feed Fred and watch his belly grow! Every child who donates food will receive an "I Fed Fred!" sticker!

Lesson 27: Choose Wisely
We have decisions to make everyday. Check out the Book of Daniel and see the choices he made to honor God. Remember, if your choice is pure and pleasing to God, then it's the right choice.

Ba Dum...Ba Dum...Ba Dum.....the shark is coming!!! But it's ok folks...that's Fred....the Feed The Bay shark! He'll appear in the lobby of our Student Center, starting on March 17th, to gobble up groceries for Feed The Bay. Encourage your kids to bring in items to feed to Fred. He's got one, massive appetite and a big ole belly to hold lots of food! Our elementary kids are having a friendly competition to see which grade can feed the most food to Fred. Every child that brings in a donation of non-perishable food will receive a "Fred, The Bay Shark" sticker!

Bay Life Kids - Preschool

Hello Preschool Families!

This past week, we ended our lesson on “Being Kind to Everyone” with an example of helping others from a special dog, a service dog! We can learn a lot about helping and loving others from a dog who spends his whole life helping someone, and has fun in the process! God wants us to help others no matter how young or small we are.

We love having your little blessings each week to teach them about God, but you are the most influential person in their life everyday. We can plant the seeds in their hearts on Sunday, 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 March…

Our bible verse theme for the month of March is Luke 11:28, “Hear the word of God and obey it.”   We are learning about how Jesus’ friends show love…serving, sharing and helping others, through these lessons:

• The Lame Man Walks (Acts 3:1-16), Jesus’ friends help a lame man walk.
• Barnabas Shares (Acts 4:32-37), Jesus’ friends helped others by sharing their money, food, clothing, etc.
• Food for the Widows (Acts 6:1-7), Jesus’ friends helped care for those that have no food. 

As an extension of our lessons this month, we will be participating in Feed The Bay. What better way to help those in need, like Jesus’ friends did, than to feed His people? God tells us to help others and Jesus’ friends show us how. Now that we know what God wants of us, we can “Hear the word of God and obey it”. Please have your child pick out some of their favorite foods from your pantry or go on a special shopping trip with you and have them bring the non-perishable food to Bay Life between March 17^th and March 25^th to feed FRED, the Bay Shark, in the Student Center Lobby. It is a fun way to involve your child in showing love and helping others. Remind them that they are helping others just like Jesus’ friends did!  Happy feeding!

Lesson 26 - Dry Bones
This week, we were in the book of Ezekiel which spoke of a valley of dry bones. There are times in our lives when we might not take the best care of our bodies. Sometimes we don't eat right or exercise and our bodies can become tired or sick. The same thing can happen in our spiritual lives when we forget to read our Bibles or make time to pray. Let God breathe life back into your spiritual life. Make time to spend time with God today!
