August’s Theme:
Origin Story
Where our story with God begins…
This month kicks off our year-long journey through the Bible as we look at God’s Big Story.
Every story has a beginning. As we explore Creation, the Fall and other pivotal moments in the origin of our faith, kids will discover that not only did God create everything, but even after people chose to go their own way, God had a plan to restore us.
We can see how God faithfully began to fulfill that plan in Abram’s call and in the lives of Jacob and Joseph—and we look forward to the fulfillment of that plan in Jesus.
When kids see how God has worked in the past, they can grow in faith that our faithful God continues to work in and through each person who chooses to follow Jesus.
WEEKLY VIDEOS ARE AVAILABLE HERE!
If you want to know what we are doing each week at ccKids or you can’t make it on Sunday morning you can still join in where ever you are, and when you have the time! Not only do you get the So & So Show with it’s great content, you also will get a mix of different songs that help kids worship, and the memory verse for the month. We often add extra content that relates to the in person experience from time to time. Everything from upcoming events, a motivational video about the topic or what ever.
Parenting Resources
We have compiled some helpful resources that parents can use. Many of them are from Orange which is our amazing ministry partner who creates much of our Sunday kids and youth curriculum.
Mental Health issues are on the rise, especially with kids and teens. SEEN - Healing despair and anxiety in kids and teens through the power of connection - is a book put out thru our partners at Orange. Written by Will Hutcherson and Chine Williams, PH.D. We have two copies at the church so get connected with Jim Staniels if you want to read one. Its great info and practices that will help hurting kids even if they are not your kids. If it feels weird borrowing from us, you can get a copy or even a digital copy at the Orange Store.
Anxiety Conversation guides help give parents an age appropriate tool to talk with their kids about the anxiety they feel and see around them.
