Fa-la-la! Don't forget: This Wednesday is Ornament Night at KidZRocK!



 HiSKidZ NEWS



HiSKidZ K-6th have started a new lesson series entitled, "God Speaks!" 

Does God really speak to kids? You betcha! In the coming weeks we will be learning together that God didn't just speak to people in the Bible days, but that He is speaking to us today and we need to listen and follow. 

This week we are learning about God speaking to Abraham and His promise to give him a son and make him the father of many nations. God spoke to Abraham and God wants to speak to us, too.

Our power verse this week reminds us that Jesus said,




We want to help HiSKidZ know God's voice, hear Him when He speaks and follow where He leads. 


PARENTS DAY OUT!!
Be sure to get signed up for Parents Day Out. This will be a great day for HiSKidZ to spend the day at church playing, eating lunch, decorating Christmas cookies, making a Christmas gift for parents, watching a movie and more while YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME  getting some shopping or errands done.

Cost is $10 per child with a $20 per family maximum charge. We will be taking the first 30 children (ages 2-6th grade) with paid registrations, and a waiting list will be used if necessary. Event envelopes are available at the KidCheck Kiosks.

For more information, see Amy or Ms Dawn. If you would like to volunteer with us, even for part of the day, just let us know. 


I can't wait!!

I love ornament night! It's always a little crazy, but these little treasures that we make are spiritual markers in HiSKidZ lives that stay with them forever.

This Wednesday, Nov 19, HiSKidZ will be making ornaments at KidZRocK. It's a HiSKidZ tradition to make an ornament with a connection to a spiritual truth we have been learning about. 

HiSKidZ make their ornament and it goes on the HiSKidZ tree in the foyer. Then after Christmas we take them down and send them home so you can put them on your tree next year.

This year's ornament will fit our "Take Me to Your Leader" theme and will help HiSKidZ share Jesus with someone just by showing them their ornament.

KidZRocK is for children K-6th grade and meets from 6-7:15 in the main building at NTCC





 


Truth in the Tinsel isn't just for preschoolers.  In fact, I love that "littles" and "bigs" can all have fun with this tool for keeping Christ in Christmas. You can purchase the advent book, Truth in the Tinsel online at http://truthinthetinsel.com/

This is a great little resource to help bring the meaning of Christmas into the hearts of our children.  For each day leading up to Christmas there is a Bible reading, a simple ornament craft and talking points for the whole family. I bought a copy to do at home with Mr Tim. I keep a copy in my office, so come on and check it out anytime. 

If you buy it and use it, I hope you will let me know how much fun your family had with the experience!!


If you love Christmas songs like I do, you and your kids are definitely going to want to check out this song by Hillsong that HiSKidZ will start learning this week.  BORN IS THE KING is SO MUCH FUN!! This song is filled with joy and the message of Jesus at Christmas. Just click the link below the picture and then get ready to be singing this a latte in your fam-mobile!!

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do! Yeah, you'll understand in a minute!!

We set a goal of 110 shoe boxes this year and we are half way there.

Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes can be turned in all this week.  If you haven't turned yours in yet, be sure to get it in to the church and we will deliver it to the drop off spot.

HiSKidZ did a good job last week of putting boxes together, but I know several mentioned that they had forgotten items for the boxes. 

Although we aren't making them as a group anymore this year, I hope your family will consider filling a box and changing a child's life. Check out the NTCC and HiiSKidZ facebook pages for stories of lives changed by the love of Jesus in a shoebox.

Bring those Bibles to Church on Sundays and earn $1 for Missions!


HiSKidZ earned $40--that's enough money to mail 7 shoeboxes. I can't wait to see how many Bibles will be here next week. HiSKidZ are always encouraged to bring their Bibles and last Sunday we began THE BIBLE MISSION project. 

Each Sunday when HiSKidZ K-6th grade bring their Bible to church they will receive a Bible buck. Each buck will be almost immediately returned to their KidZChurch or KidZDiscover leader. Why???

Because we will save each buck in our offering container an at the end of the month each paper buck will be turned into a real buck to be sent to a mission or missionary that we are sponsoring. 

Our Mission for November will be Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child and we will use the funds to help cover the cost of postage for the boxes that will go to children all around the world.

 

 KidZChoir practice and performance times are set, and we are ready to go.  If your child (K-6th) wants to be a part of KidZChoir Christmas but hasn't signed up yet, just let Ms Dawn know and come to the first practice.
