Bows Of Holly

WOW! What a weekend we had! Our Christmas Musical "Bows of Holly" was great! Another thank you to Michael and Robin Abernathy. Our kids did great. They did 2 dress rehearsals and 3 shows in a matter of 3 days! Go to the Kidz Aloud site http://www.kidzaloud.org/ to see pictures!

It's so much fun to celebrate Jesus everyday but especially celebrating his birth brings great joy! We want to give to others like God gave to us when he sent his son on that special night.

Merry Christmas to everyone form KIDZ ALIVE!

3,4,& 5 YEAR OLDS HAVE BEEN LEARNING...

Dec 14th

Christmas decorations are going up on all houses in the neighborhoods. The radio sings of the season. Everyone knows what time of year it is. It’s practically announced everywhere you look. This Sunday the kidz learned about a very special announcement. The angel’s announcement of Jesus’ Birth! The angel named Gabriel appeared to both Mary and Joseph to tell them that “the baby is God’s Son. You will name Him Jesus.” What a way to receive an announcement! After hearing the story of the Angel visiting Mary and Joseph, the kids made the first three people in their very own nativity scene.

Dec 7th

Our Bible story demonstrated how Jesus loves children. One day, parents wanted Jesus to pray for their children. When the children ran up to Jesus, his helpers told them to go away and that Jesus was too busy. Jesus’ responded by saying, “Let the Children come to Me. Don’t send them away! Heaven belongs to people like these children.” Jesus is a special friend to Children. They can spend time with Him and talk to Him just like they would their closest friends.

December

Don't be so serious! :)


Celebrate! Christmas is a celebration of our savior and in the past month we've seen over 30 kidz make the decision for Jesus to be their savior. What a testimony!

We've been studying on what complaining can do for atmosphere and moral! Like the Irealites in the desert. And what FAITH can do for your circumstances like Moses with the serpent. Faith can lead you out of bondage while complaining can keep you in the desert for 40 years!



Our 3, 4, & 5 year olds...

One way to love God is to Thank Him! We began our day with a game of Charades where kids acted out things they were thankful for. Then we headed out to the mat where we learned about Noah showed God he loved Him by building an altar and thanking God for his protection through the rain. God was pleased w/Noah’s offering and made a promise never again send a flood like that. Then God sent a rainbow as a reminder of His promise. The kids made rainbows to remind them of things they are thankful for. One by one, they named a color of the rainbow and drew what they are thankful for that that color reminds them of.
