Creek Kids

Have you ever thought about the fact that God chose you to be the parent of your child? He knew exactly what your child needed in a parent, and He chose you. He knows your strengths and weaknesses, and your amazing capacity to love. And, He gave you this child. God is there-every minute of every day-guiding you through this parenting journey. He has a story of love and redemption to tell your child through you. He wants your child/ren to know their Heavenly Father is there to help them, just like He's there to help you - every step of the way.

Pre-School Parents
During the month of October we continue teach the basic truth that God loves me. We want each of our Creek Kids to know that they can ALWAYS count on God. This week we are excited to bring the story of Elijah and the fire to life for them. We will learn how Elijah challenges King Ahab to a test to see whose God is real. They both build altars and pray for fire to come from heaven. God proves He is the ONE true God and all of the people worship Him.

We also have a memory verse that we will be learning together:

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

Bible memorization is a great way to get the Word into our children's hearts. So look for opportunities at home when you can talk your child about their memory verse.

Elementary Parents
Last month we learned about respect and this month were learning about initiative; seeing what needs to be done and doing it. Our Creek Kids will take a journey into the life of Nehemiah and the great task that he takes on rebuilding the wall. We begin this week by introducing the kids to Nehemiah and how he hears about the wall. This will be an exciting journey for them!

The bottom line
When there's a job to be done, first you have to see it.

Our memory verse for the month of October is:

"Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others." Philippians 2:4

Take some time to help your child memorize their memory verse and look for opportunities to have a conversation with your child/ren about what they are learning during their time in Creek Kids.
