FAMILY CONNECT
TODAY
For all students 7th – 12th grade.
Here’s what your Preschool – 6th Graders are learning today in Sunday School & Kids
Worship. Use these ideas as a common ground for discussion, prayer and application with
your kids throughout the week.
PRESCHOOL:
Basic Truth: Jesus wants to be my forever friend.
Bottom Line: Jesus can do anything.
Memory Verse: “With God, all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26
Bible Story Focus: Feeding 5,000. Mark 6:30-44
Aaron Hughs will be the speaker tonight. Some of you probably know
Aaron from Quaker Haven Camp. Did you know he was once a WFC youth
too? And assisted the youth pastor for a time? He is now the Assistant
Superintendent of IYM and heavily involved in the Quaker Haven Camp
program. Come and hear about WINTER SNEAK!
KINDERGARTEN - 6th GRADE:
Virtue: SELF-CONTROL… choosing to do what you should do, not what you want to do
Memory Verse: “My dear brothers and sisters, pay attention to what I say. Everyone
should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get
angry.” James 1:19
Bible Story: Reckless Words, Proverbs 12:18
Bottom Line: Select your words carefully.
