SUNDAY SCHOOL
9:00 AM & 11:00 AM
An important safety reminder for parents: You must remember to KEEP and PRESENT your security tags at pickup. This is not optional, the safety of our kids is most important.
Island Kids 2s&3s and 4s&5s:
This month, we’re talking about THE best friend—the One who is ALWAYS a good friend…JESUS! This Sunday, our Bible lesson is based on John 11:1-3, 20, 28-36 – Jesus is a good friend when I am sad. Help your kids memorize our monthly memory verse: “A friend loves you all the time.” Proverbs 17:17, NCV
Island Kids 1st - 6th grade:
This Sunday, we turn to James 1:19 where James writes about how we should respond when situations begin to get a little out of hand. When we’re quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry, we allow ourselves to respond well so we don’t sin in our anger. Bottom Line: When you’re angry, talk to God. Help your kids memorize our monthly memory verse: “Be strong, all you who put your hope in the Lord. Never give up.” Psalm 31:24 (NIrV)
