Family and Parents

Today in Kids Church we talked about Exodus 20:12 "Honor your father and your mother so that you may live long on the earth."

We understand that God's plan is for our good. ...and part of that plan is for us to receive direction for our lives, our behaviour and our attitudes.

Do you remember the name of the girl who had a special type of puppet made for her? If you will come next Sunday and tell me the name of the girl, I will give you an award.

This special puppet is controlled by someone moving it's strings. It is given direction by the one holding onto the "airplane". In the same way, God has given kids parents to help give kids direction too.

Take some time to read about Josiah. He didn't have a dad, but God still had a great plan for his life. You may read about his dad (Amon) in 2 Kings 21:20-24. Then you may read about Josiah in 2 Kings 22:1-7 and 2 Kings 23:1-3. Josiah did not have a dad that loved and served God, but Josiah still did what honored God.

Lastly, don't forget that pre-registration for our Snow Blast Retreat (for 2nd-6th graders) is this Wednesday. Retreat STARTS at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. See you there!
