The Choir kids learn worship songs, learn about leading worship, and prepare for Christmas Eve worship and will deliver a musical message in the Spring. During the last hour of the night, the children participate in either the ROCK Choir or the ROCK Caring Kids groups. Each night we share a game, a Bible study, a craft, and a home cooked meal. ROCK: Our ROCK (Rock On Christian Kids) program, designed for kids in 3rd through 5th grade, meets weekly on Thursdays from 5:00-7:30 pm in Schulte Hall at 20 High St. ROCK and Stepping Stones will kickoff on Thursday, Septemat 5:00 pm. To assist in that endeavor, we provide two mid-week ministry programs for our children to assist them in their faith journey by offering them a foundation for a relationship with Jesus. Even though we may experience not nice things in life, God is always in control.We feel it is important for the church community to partner with parents in helping children realize that God is a part of their lives always and not just on Sundays. Share how a storm, shipwreck, and a poisons snake couldn’t stop God’s plans for Paul. Or visiting a museum but you got sick and had to stay home. Talk about a time you planned to do something, but things got in the way. Nothing is outside of His ability to hold. Remind them that God can control everything. Just like we can’t hold everything in one fist, we can’t control everything in our lives. As they hold each item, talk about which ones are easy to hold, which ones are harder, and which ones are impossible. Now, ask the child to pick up the objects and hold them in their fist without dropping any. Place several objects into various bowls on the counter-water, an egg, a cracker, a carrot, sugar, etc.
Paul knew that nothing was outside of God’s control. Paul had the courage and trusted God, even in the middle of the storm. Talk about a time you did something that deserved a punishment, but someone didn’t give it to you. Mercy is not giving someone the punishment they deserve. Whether your child succeeds or not, point out that they are picking up toothpicks in their house, and the sailors were in the middle of a stormy sea. Allow them to scramble to pick up as many sailors as they can before time runs out. Set a timer for a select amount of time, depending on the child’s age. Call out, “Shipwreck!” and toss the sailors onto the surface. Push the sailors in the boat across the surface. You may use a tub of water, a floor, or a large table to play the game. Also, select a boat, whether a toy, cup, or paper boat. You may decorate if you wish with your child to create sailors. Imagine if you were in a ship on the ocean when the storm came.Įven though the centurion disobeyed Paul’s advice, God was merciful and spared every life on the ship. Talk about big storms that you have experienced. They were on the boat when a massive storm started. Paul told the centurion who was traveling with him that they should not start sailing, or the ship would be wrecked, and many people would die. Have you ever not taken advice and had something go wrong? Talk about a time that not taking advice was unwise. They should sit down if they think it is bad advice. If they would listen to the advice, they should stand up. Play a game where you give some advice to your children.
