Letter to Parents

Dear Parents,

Plan now to have your child participate in unique, special-agent excitement at Kids 4 Christ as we train to be Agents in Action. This is a 13-week adventure in discovering what it means to live courageously every day as God’s disciple.

Each Wednesday from 6:00 to 7:30 P.M. in the Youth Annex your child is invited to a time of games, Bible stories, crafts and more! You can see the full scope on the back of this page. Pay special attention to the bible verses, your child will be asking you to memorize them to help them earn Bible Bucks! Yes, you memorize the verses, too! ;)

Agent training will begin Wednesday, January 23rd!

We will not meet on Family Night (the 3rd Wednesdays of each month). In addition, we will not meet April 2nd - Spring Break.

For the first time ever, K4C will participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring this year on Super Bowl Sunday. This is a nation-wide effort to touch lives and teach youth to fight hunger and poverty in their local communities.

We are selling Soup ‘R Chili Bowl tickets to support the LAD Soup Kitchen in Downtown Lake City. Ticket holders will be entitled to All-You-Can-Eat Soup or Chili in the Bethel Fellowship Hall on Sunday, February 3rd at 12:00 Noon. The kids have set a goal to sell 100 tickets!

In addition to the fundraising events, youth are encouraged to participate in the Service Blitz by serving hands-on at the charity of their choice the Saturday before the big game. We will do this by helping to serve lunch at the LAD Soup Kitchen on Saturday, February 2nd. Details (meeting time and place) will be worked out as the date draws closer.

Thank you for your continued efforts in bringing the children on Wednesday nights. If you see room for improvement or want to stick around, let us know! We truly enjoy the time we get to spend with your children. They are a blessing to this church and to each of us!

Your friends at K4C,

Agents in Action Training

Beginning January 24th, Kids 4 Christ will start training as Agents in Action! This is a 13-week adventure for children ages 4 to 12. Accomplishing daily missions for God as His special agents will challenge us to live courageously as His disciples. As we study each lesson's Bible verse, all words of Jesus, we will begin to develop an understanding of how to live as God's disciples in everyday life. Each Bible verse gives a truth on which the daily missions of special agents for God are founded. We will learn such truths as the characteristics of peacemakers, the source of generosity with money and possessions, the benefit of treating others in the same way you would like to be treated, and the security God's disciples have because of His awesome promises. A variety of both Old and New Testament Bible characters will lead us in discovering key attitudes and actions exhibited by God's disciples. For example, we will travel with Ruth to her future in a new land and learn of God's promise to be with them, no matter what happens now or in the future. We will walk in the footsteps of Elisha to discover how to stand up to bullies. We will be challenged to follow Jesus' example of unselfish attitudes and actions as we seek to get along with family members. We will catch the vision of Paul's efforts to spread the good news of the Gospel. Woven throughout these lessons is the love God has for His children, and how that love is the motivation for the courageous and compassionate ways He wants us to live.
