ISLAND KIDS
Sundays | 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM
Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:
This Sunday we’ll look at the story of when King Hezekiah prays to God in Isaiah 37:14-21, 33-35; 38:1-6, 20 and 2 Kings 18:3, 5-7; 20:3, 5. When Hezekiah learns that an army is coming to fight against God’s people, he prays to God for help. God sends the prophet Isaiah to tell Hezekiah that He has heard his prayer and will save the city. Later, when Hezekiah becomes sick, he prays to God again, expressing his wholehearted trust in Him. Once again, God sends a message through Isaiah, promising that Hezekiah will recover. In response, King Hezekiah praises God. Through this story, the kids will learn that no matter what we face, we can trust God and talk to Him about anything, because God’s got it!
Our October memory verse is: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart.” Proverbs 3:5 (NIrV)
Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:
This week, we’ll explore John 16:33 and Revelation 19:11-16. We’ll wrap up the month with an incredible reminder of how our story ends! On the night before giving up His life, Jesus told His friends, “In this world you will have trouble. But be encouraged! I have won the battle over the world.” Jesus’ resurrection proves that His words are true! What’s more, Jesus gave His friend John an incredible vision of His triumphant return at the end of time. The kids will learn that they can be confident that, in the end, God will make everything right because Jesus wins!
Our October memory verse is: “God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble.” Psalm 46:1 (NIrV)
SEMINAR + DINNER
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.

GRIEFSHARE SEMINAR
November 5 @ 6:30 PM
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.

LEARN ABOUT MEMBERSHIP
November 5 @ 7:00 PM
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.
