Kidz Church

I Corinthians 13:11: “When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child, when I became a man, I did away with childish things.”

I Corinthians 13:11 tells us that adults and children speak differently, think differently, and reason differently. If an adult is to be effective at ministering to a child the adult must enter the child’s world and relate Biblical truth on his level. Therefore, we offer Kidz Church because we believe that children can learn so much more than most adults can imagine! We believe children are the church of TODAY, not tomorrow.

Things to make note of:

• Pick-up: Big City will end right after Big Church does. We release 4th-6th graders on their own, but keep 1st through 3rd graders for parents to pick up. Big City Studio is located in Room 127 at the entrace at the back of the building near the Gym/Worship Center.
• Tickets: Your child will receive a “movie ticket” for attending Sunday School. We draw one winning ticket each week. The winning ticket receives a sizeable box of candy (sometimes we give an extra ticket for bringing your Bible).
• Star of the Week: A pre-selected chair is chosen to be watched each week. IF that child pays attention and is “good” then he/she will be recognized and rewarded for their good behavior.
• Make a Scene: Each week we “produce” a movie scene that allows kids to see, say, and DO the Bible story by acting it out.
• Shout it Out/Z Street Live: This is a word game that runs throughout the entire morning. It is much like Wheel-of-Fortune with Hannah Bright.
• Playback Game: A review game to help kids recall every aspect of the lesson and have fun doing it (plus get some candy).
