Around the Creek - Creek Kids Version

If I heard it once, I had heard it twice out of my grandmother's mouth, "There's no use crying over spilled milk." I didn't really understand the full meaning of that saying until I had children of my own and I found myself repeating those very words to my own kids. It seemed each time we sat to the dinner table something was getting spilled or a plate of something would overturn onto the floor. There were days, as a mother, that I thought they would never grow up and then I would hear my grandmother's voice sing out those words, "There's no use crying over spilled milk."


It's not always the spilled milk; sometimes its the messy rooms, the permanent marker that "mysteriously" covered the walls, or the 13 times your child wakes you in the middle of the night wanting a drink. Raising children can sometimes be challenging and there is a tendency to get discouraged, but just remember that all those glasses of spilled milk will one day fade into a distant memory and they will return as a wonderful story that will bring a chuckle to your soul and a smile to your face.


Pre-School
This Sunday in pre-school, Esther is chosen to be the new queen. God gives her the courage to ask the king to save her people from Haman's wicked plan to destroy them.

Our basic truth

God loves me!

Our focus this week

God makes me strong and courageous!

Memory verse

"Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid." Deuteronomy 31:6

Elementary

We have had a great time talking about Nehemiah and the wall that he rebuilt, look for opportunities to ask your Creek Kid about Nehemiah. This Sunday we are changing directions and we're headed over to the New Testament where we will meet the Ethiopian who appears out of no where and asks Philip, to tell him who Jesus is.

How can we tell people about Jesus with our words?

How can we tell people about Jesus with our actions?

Our weekly focus

If someone asks what you believe, what will you say?
