ISLAND KIDS
Sundays | 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM
Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:
This month, we hope to spark a “Tiny Parade” of joy and celebration as the kids learn that we can celebrate God every day! This Sunday, we’ll explore the story of Moses and Miriam in Exodus 15. After God parts the Red Sea to rescue His people, Moses and the Israelites celebrate all that God has done by singing together. Miriam joins in with her tambourine, and all the women play tambourines and dance in celebration! Through this story, the kids will learn that we can celebrate God together with others, too!
Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:
This month we’ve been teaching the kids to pause and focus on gratitude. This Sunday, as we look at Luke 17:11-19, the kids will be reminded to stop and thank God! They’ll hear the story of ten men with leprosy who approach Jesus and plead for healing. Jesus tells them to go show themselves to the priests, even though they haven’t seen any change yet. But along the way, all ten men are healed! Only one, however, stops and goes back to thank Jesus. Through this story, the kids will be reminded that we should take time to recognize all that God has done for us and remember to thank Him!
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)

GIFT DRIVE
Now through 12/6
We are partnering with CHI, a local shelter that provides emergency housing to individuals and families to host a Gift Drive. We asked each child at the shelter to send us their wish list for Christmas! You can choose a very special, personalized gift from our AMAZON REGISTRY. You can have your donation shipped directly to the church, bring it unwrapped to Sunday services, or bring it to the Island Christmas Event if you plan to attend. Thank you for your generosity in bringing joy to our community this Christmas season!

CROSSROADS
New night + time
Our goal at Crossroads is to equip young adults, ages 18-25, in their faith and launch them into service. We believe that it’s time for this generation to step up and make an impact on the world around them. As iron sharpens iron, we meet together in large and small group settings to encourage each other in our faith and build each other up for service. Starting November 18, Crossroads will meet at its new day/time: Wednesdays at 7:00 PM!
