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

In November, we hope to spark a “Tiny Parade” of joy and celebration as the kids learn that we can celebrate God when we see His creation and how mighty and powerful He is! They’ll discover how good God is and that we can celebrate Him every day. This Sunday, we’ll explore Psalm 33 and Psalm 100. The kids will hear how God spoke and created everything, including us! As they discover the amazing things God has made, they’ll learn that we can celebrate God.

Our November memory verse is: “Shout aloud and sing for joy.” Isaiah 12:6 (NIV)

Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:

Throughout November, we’re challenging the kids to thank God for every good gift He gives us! We’ll start by remembering all the amazing gifts God has already given us, and how we always have something to be grateful for. We’ll also dig into what it means to have a heart of gratitude and to regularly express our thanks to God. This week, we’ll look at James 1:17 and Philippians 4:8 to discover how focusing on what is right and lovely and excellent, instead of what’s wrong, allows our hearts to respond with thanks and gratitude. And as we celebrate the start of Advent at the end of the month, we want kids to remember that they can thank God for the incredible hope He gave us by sending Jesus!

Our November memory verse is: “Every good and perfect gift is from God. This kind of gift comes down from the Father who created the heavenly lights. These lights create shadows that move. But the Father does not change like these shadows.” James 1:17 (NIrV)

November 2 @ 6:00PM

One of the most important areas of leadership takes place in our homes. It’s also one of the toughest places to lead. In this seminar, "Parenting: It's Not What You Think It Is" by Dr. Paul David Tripp, you will be filled with hope as you see parenting from a whole new perspective—the perspective of our Heavenly Father. For many, this will be a welcome shift in the way we think about parenting. Whether you have kids of any age, are a grandparent, or serve as an Island Kids or Island Youth leader, this seminar is for you. You’ll benefit from this practical, hope-filled teaching and be encouraged in your role of leading the next generation.

Childcare will be provided.

Pastor Appreciation Month

At Island Christian, we are abundantly blessed with the loving care and ministry of our faithful team of pastors. Each October, it has been our tradition to take time to thank and pray for our pastors. Whether it's a note, a dinner invite, a gift card, or your prayers, our pastors are sure to be blessed by your thoughtful gestures. Pick up a brochure and a prayer guide at the Connection Hub. This year, we will also be receiving a special offering to honor our pastors, to be given between now and Sunday, November 1st. If you would like to give a financial gift, go to islandchristian.com/give or use the special offering envelope you received in the mail.

Facing grief this holiday season? You are not alone. Bittersweet memories, lost traditions, an empty seat at the table: the holidays can stir up sadness for anyone grieving a loss. Join us for Surviving the Holidays, a 2-hour GriefShare seminar with practical help for getting through the season. When everyone around you seems to be celebrating, it can be hard to remember that God sees you and cares for you. Our church wants to welcome you into a caring community. God has a plan for this pain.

Do you consider this your home church? Do you want to find out what it means to be a member of Island Christian? Join us for an evening of interactive discussion about joining our church.

Many times in the New Testament, the church is referred to as a body, with each part being a member (Rom. 12:4, Eph. 3:6 and 4:25, Col. 3:15). Church membership affirms your commitment to a local church as part of the body of Christ. As Christians, we are called to live in community, and becoming a member is a great next step!

Childcare is not provided. Questions? Contact Pastor Colby at colby.rohde@islandchristian.com
