ISLAND KIDS
Sundays | 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM

This Sunday, we’re in Luke 2:41-52. The Bible teaches us that we can talk about God with others, and young Jesus at the temple is a great example of this! 
 

Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:

Throughout the month, the kids will learn that the Bible is where we discover the best things in life—God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. We pray that by the end of the month, each child will grow to love the Bible and see God’s Word as truth, and know they can talk to God, hear from God, pray to God, and live for God—because those truly are the best things!

Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:

This month, the kids will learn how to make a plan to grow closer to God. All month long, we’re going to look at four parts of a game plan to help the kids get to know God better—talking about God, praying to God, hearing from God, and living for God. 

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

Join us as we discover how the last book of the Bible—the culmination of God’s great story—speaks both a steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age.

Each week, you’ll engage with reflective Scripture passages designed to guide your personal devotional reading. As you meditate on these selected readings, you’ll encounter Revelation within the context of the Bible’s overarching redemptive story. Our study will also be enriched by teaching videos from Jen Wilkin.

Session begins:

• Tuesday 1/13 9:30 AM
• Wednesdays 1/14  7:00 PM

Nursery childcare is available for infants through 4 years old.

Alpha is a series of conversations about things we all question in life: Why do bad things happen to good people? What's the purpose of life? What's next? It is a safe place to ask questions about the meaning of life and about God. Whether you, or a friend or family member, are seeking and searching for a safe space to have this conversation about faith, or you are ready to take the next step in growing in your faith, Alpha is for you!

Our Alpha conversations at Island Christian Church are held on Tuesday evenings. We meet over 11 weeks for a brief teaching, followed by discussion. All sessions start with a meal, providing a time to connect and build friendships. There is no charge to attend!

Grief turns your world upside down, making it difficult to know which way is forward and where to turn for help. It’s understandable that your thoughts are scattered, your days are disorienting, and everything around you feels off. It can help to view grief as a journey. But since this is a journey you’re never prepared for, you’ll want to know what to expect along the way—and how to handle the emotional twists and turns and daily challenges. Join us in this 13 session video series where we will help you to understand the common emotions people often feel in grief and share practical tips you can use to begin to find peace as you cherish your loved one's memory.
