4:00 DISCIPLESHIP HOUR (Pre-k through 5th grade):
Due to the members’ meeting, there is no 4:00pm Discipleship Hour for pre-k through fifth grade this week. However, we do want to continue through our study so below you will find the videos to watch this week as well as at home suggestions for reviewing and applying the Bible story.

This week we are beginning a new unit, Creation is Ruined.  Everything was perfect when God created it, but it didn’t stay that way. Adam and Eve rebelled against God. From that time on, creation was ruined and everyone has been born a sinner. But God would not leave people to remain dead in sin. He would provide the solution for sin: His Son, Jesus Christ.

October 3: Sin Entered the World (Genesis 3)*
*No 4:00 Discipleship Hour. Video Curriculum will be sent for pre-k through 5th grade
October 10: Sin Spread to People (Genesis 4-5)
October 17: God Spared Noah (Genesis 6-10)
October 24: People Rebel Against God (Genesis 10-11)

Below you can find this month’s preschool song :

Creation Glorifies God (Psalm 19)

This week we looked at a Psalm that King David wrote many years after Adam and Eve. David used creation to speak of God’s glory. For David, it was easy to see God’s glory—at least its fingerprints—all around him. But, one of the greatest ways we can know of God’s glory is that the Creator who made everything not only made us too, but wants to have a friendship with us. That is why He gave us the Bible—so that we might come to know Him, love Him, and live for Him. As you talk with your kids, seek to leave them in awe of how big and how good and how loving God is. 

Check out the resource below designed to help you talk more with your child about what he/she learned and for activities you can do as a family this week to help your child apply the things he/she learned. 

This week in IDC Kids, Children learned how God created people in His own image and provides for everything He made. People are special because God made people to live forever in a relationship with Him. Through His Son, Jesus, we can have eternal life with God just as He planned.

This week we launched The Gospel Project on Sunday mornings 9:00 & 11:00am for 2 & 3 year olds and Sunday evenings 4:00pm for Pre-k group. We are beginning a three year study through the entire Bible. This week we started, you guessed it, In The Beginning. Below you will find a recap of what your child learned as well as a way for you to continue the learning at home.

Out of the Grave
Key Passage: John 11:25 

 The darkest moment of the gospel story became the brightest when Jesus rose from the dead to provide forgiveness for all of God’s people. After Jesus rose from the dead, He spent 40 more days proving that He is alive and preparing His followers to continue His mission after He returned to heaven to be with His Father. In our final unit for this semester, we will cover the following lessons:

April 25: Jesus’ Resurrection Matthew 28; John 20
Story Point: Jesus rose from the dead and is alive.  

May 2: The Emmaus Disciples Luke 24
