Agents in Action - Lesson 6

We are looking forward to getting back in the groove now that FCAT is over! This week we will be talking about Temptation. We will learn that we can pray to God for help in saying no to temptation and living in right ways by reading about how David resists temptation in 1 Samuel 24:1-22 & 26. We will concentrate on Jesus' words in Matthew 6:13, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.”

See you all tomorrow - don't forget your Bibles!

Field Trip to the Capital on April 1st

The “Children’s Capital for a Day” is scheduled for Tuesday, April 1 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the State Capitol. The day includes free walking tours of the Capitol, hands-on educational activities for children, and legislators reading and distributing books to children. Dozens of non-profit organizations will host interactive and educational booths for children in the State Capitol Courtyard and Rotunda on April 1st. Live entertainment, children's characters, face-painting and free Children's Week t-shirts to the first 750 attendees. A press conference to dedicate the “Hanging Hands” to the Florida Legislature will be held at 9:30 a.m. in the Capitol Rotunda. We will be making Hanging Hands at our March 26th K4C meeting. We will be traveling by bus, leaving Bethel at 6:30 am.

FCAT & K4C

Well, its that time of year again: the time when the FCAT rules the worlds of our young people! Recognizing that the FCAT and Norm Reference Testing will be ongoing over the next 2 weeks, we have determined it may be in the best interest of our children and parents to cancel K4C on March 12th and March 19th. We will resume our meetings on March 26th at 6:00 pm in the Youth Annex. Please keep all of our students, teachers and parents in your prayers throughout this stressful time!

Agent Training Session #5

We've been having so much fun and learning a lot at K4C! The kids are really opening up and sharing with each other and helping each other see the importance of Christian values. This week we will continue our Agents in Action training as we learn about God's promises for the future using examples in the Adventures of Ruth! We will focus on Jesus' words in Matthew 28:20, "I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Can't wait to see you all there on Wednesday!

Thank You from NBN

Dear Bethel Kids 4 Christ,

Thanks for doing your part to support Nothing But Nets. Your gift of $568.50 is greatly appreciated!

As you read this, a mother and her children are being given a mosquito net. An aid worker is showing them how to hang the net over their bed. Tonight, she and her children will sleep safely under this net. Later-perhaps tonight, maybe in a week-a malarial mosquito will enter their hut, intent on feeding. It will buzz around the room as they sleep, and they'll be unaware of the killer lurking nearby. As it approaches the family, it will seek rest on the net hanging conveniently close to their bed. But this will be the last act it makes before it's crippled, forever incapacitated by the insecticide embedded in this protective bed cover.

You've just protected someone from malaria. You've sent a net and saved a life. For that we want to say thank you.
