ROOM CHANGES: We’re
splitting up your kids into smaller groups and making sure that they have
consistent small group leaders. Don’t
worry, we’ll have lots of people to help you find your way.
PROGRAMMING: We’re starting “PowerUP” which is where we’ll have our awesome
leaders take the kids through worship followed by a Bible Story matching our
weekly theme. Speaking of themes, every
month will be a new one, bases on a thread or a virtue of God. We’ll focus on
that theme through music, drama, Bible Memory and some really fun activities
that drive home our Bottom Line. The kids will also spend some quality time in
small groups with our amazing leaders. You can check out the curriculum at http://www.whatisorange.org/252basics/
PARENTS: Since we only get your kids for about 40 hours a year (Sunday’s
are our favorite day) we know that it’s what happens in your home that’s most important,
you get them for 3,000 hours a year! We
want to partner with you, that’s why YOU will get lots of tools you can use at
home. There’s a Parent Cue Monthly and Parent
Cue Weekly which will give you the basics of what your kids learned and
questions to follow up with. You’ll also
get the monthly memory verse to work on. Your kids will also get weekly GodTime
cards, which are 4 days of devotions for them that go with our monthly
theme. The littler ones will need your
help, but we’d like you to encourage the older ones to do it on their own. There’s also an app! Parent Cue App on iphone and droid. It gives you great questions and activities
for key times throughout your day…. Drive Time, Meal Time, Hang Time and Bed
Time.
We’ll roll out some more exciting aspects of this strategy,
It’s too exciting to tell you all at once.
If you have any questions
at all on any of this, please let us know! Email Kimberly@live-oak.org
We are so excited about Sunday and cannot wait to see your
kids!
