Children's Ministry Lesson for August 28

Grade Promotion Sunday is August 28 during the main service followed by a "Goodbye Summer Popsicle Party" for all the kiddos!  If you have a child going into the 3rd grade or going into the 6th grade for the 2022-2023 school year, we want to recognize those kiddos and emphasize that as kids grow, their understanding of foundational truths grows with them.  
Here's the breakdown:

•  Tots (ages 1-2) will move up to Tykes class on their birthdays when they turn 3.
•  Kids (K-2nd grade) those that are going into the 3rd grade will move up to Students.
•  Students (3rd-5th grade) those that are going into the 6th grade will move up to Youth.

Please reach out to me at [email protected] if your child will want to be recognized on this Sunday.  

RSVP here for our "Goodbye Summer Popsicle Party!" 

This upcoming Sunday your child will learn about: Solomon's Sin Divided the Kingdom
Story Point:  The tax collector knew he needed God to forgive him, and he cried out to God. Everyone is a sinner who needs God’s mercy and forgiveness. Jesus took the punishment for our sin by dying on the cross. We can cry out to God like the tax collector and because of Jesus, God will have mercy on us.
Family Bible Reading: The LORD is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth. Exodus 34:6
Big Picture Question: What is mercy?
Big Picture Answer:  Mercy is when God does not give us the punishment that we deserve.
