ISLAND KIDS
ISLAND KIDS
Sundays | 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM
Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:
This Sunday we’re in Acts 8:26-35. Kids will learn from Philip’s story that God speaks to us through His Word. When God told Philip to help a man sitting in a chariot to understand God’s Word, Philip obeyed—and the man chose to follow Jesus. Kids will learn that just like Philip, we can hear from God too.
January memory verse: “Your word is truth.” John 17:17 (NIrV)
Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:
This week, kids will explore Matthew 6:9–13, a simple model of prayer often referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. Given to us by Jesus, it helps kids acknowledge who God is, ask for God’s Kingdom to come, and request what they need—like forgiveness, provision, and protection. How powerful is it for our kids to know they can talk directly to God in their own words!
January memory verse: “Training the body has some value. But being godly has value in every way. It promises help for the life you are now living and the life to come.” 1 Timothy 4:8 (NIrV)

ABIDING IN GOD'S WORD
Reading the Bible together continues to shape and ground our church. We’ve seen people grow deeper in God’s Word and have been reminded week after week that God speaks through Scripture.
HERE are several recommended Bible reading plans to help you maintain a daily rhythm of time with God. These plans are not the only options available, but each is a trusted guide for daily devotion and spiritual growth.
As you choose a plan, we encourage you not to read alone. While we are not following a single churchwide plan, we invite everyone to choose a plan that fits their season of life and read it in community. Connect with your Life Group, Men’s or Women’s Group, Bible class, or a few friends, and commit to encouraging one another along the way.
Our encouragement is simple: choose a plan, read it in community, and remain faithful.
