Part of the Family
The love that God has for us is shown in this week's Bible story of the "Prodigal Son". He not only forgives us of all the things that separate us from Him, but He's waiting to celebrate our return to His family. What an awesome church family we have! God has given us brothers and sisters in Christ to encourage us and help us live a life for Him. Watch here: http://vimeo.com/43035111

Lesson 35: Busting through the Roof

Jesus heals us and makes us whole! In Luke 5:17-26, Jesus made a lame man walk but, more importantly, He forgave him of his sins. It's easy to see the sickness that plagues us on the outside but Jesus know the inside is even more important. Take time this week to share with your students about your salvation; when Jesus made you whole. Then talk about others for which you can pray for their healing or salvation.

Bay Life Kids - Preschool

We ended April with a wonderful lesson on helping people in far away places. After learning about how Jesus’ disciple, Elijah, helps a man from Ethiopia read the bible and learn about Jesus (Acts 8:26-40), we learned how we can help those from Uganda, Africa. We had fun playing games from Uganda (all about snakes!) and seeing the things they played with, wore and ate (yucky queen termites that looked surprisingly like a white jelly bean!)

This months bible verse is 1 John 3:1 “God’s Love for us is Great”  and we can see so many ways that he shows us how great His love is!

May 6^th we learned how Jesus came to meet Paul, Acts 9:1-20. We experienced being blinded by the light with our flash lights and eye masks and....we secretly made a special Mother’s Day sign with all our precious hands and feet! 

May 13^th we learned how God protected Paul as he escaped the city, in a basket, with help from his friends. We had an escape route for the puppet with our own basket and rope. Scaling the preschool puppet stage walls was such fun!

Calm Our Fears

We all have to face fears in life. Some fears are easy to handle, other fears are a struggle. What we need to remember is that no matter our fear, God is with us. He can give us peace. He can give us courage. We need to rely on God to face our fears because if He is with us, what could be against us?

We had a great Sunday with some of our Kindergarten families. It is a privilege to partner with our parents to show our students God's love and mercy. We're looking forward to our First Grade families this weekend!

Lesson 33-The Power of Prayer

This week in Kids Live, we talked about prayer. When can we pray? Where can we pray? What should we pray about? The answers are any time, any place, and any thing. God wants a relationship with you, a friendship. You can talk to God just like you do your friends. Make your conversations with God a part of your everyday life. He's looking forward to it!

We had a special treat this week as Bay Life missionaries, Mike and Janelle Doud, spoke to our students about life at the Village of Hope in Africa. Our students are currently collecting change to donate to the village and this made what we are doing really hit home for many of our students. Instead of giving for a "thing", we got to meet the people it affects and look into the lives and faces of some of the children in the village. If you would like to know more about The Village of Hope in Uganda you can visit their website www.villageofhopeuganda.com.
