ISLAND KIDS
Sundays | 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM
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)
CROSSROADS
New night + time
Our goal at Crossroads is to equip young adults, ages 18-28, 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!

OCTOBER 2026
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.

THANKSGIVING EVE
November 25 @ 5:30 + 7:00 PM
Let’s come together to celebrate and give thanks for all God has done this year at our annual Thanksgiving Eve Services! These services will be filled with worship, baptisms, and powerful stories of God at work. You will leave encouraged, uplifted, and overflowing with gratitude as we praise Him and celebrate those stepping forward in baptism. Nursery for children up to 4 years old will be available at both services.
Baptism is a joyous, public proclamation of our faith in Christ. If you want to publicly declare your faith in Christ Jesus by following His command to be baptized, sign up below. A mandatory baptism class will take place on Sunday, November 22.
