Dear Parents of Sunday School Children:

We wanted to let you know that we started our Flipt Children Ministries: Son Rock Kids Camp this week. The format is similar to several other studies we’ve done recently. All K-5th grade kids are together the first week of a new story and then we split into small groups (K-2 and 3-5) the second week to review and reinforce the story.

This week the Daily Truth was: Accepted by Jesus. A few of the Heritage Junior Players presented the bible story in the form of a skit. The story comes from Matthew 4:18-20, Luke 5:1-11 and John 1:40-42, when Simon Peter is called to follow Jesus and Jesus gives him a new name.

Our Bible memory verse is 1 John 3:1a: “How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!”

We talked about what the verse means and the younger kids were given a copy of the verse to put in their memory verse flip books. Please have your K-2 child bring this flip book again. If a new one is needed, we’ll take care of that if you let us know.

The 3rd-5th grade kids were given a Journal this week. They wrote the bible verse in their journals and were challenged to write in their journal this week about times when they don’t feel loved or accepted. They are then encouraged to write about how it feels to know that Jesus loves them lavishly and wants them to be part of His family. They could also write about a time when they saw someone else not feeling loved or accepted and how they showed that person God’s love.

We’ll be using the journals every week, so please help them remember to bring them. The older students will also need to bring their bibles.

The other homework for the older students is to decorate their journals this week. They can use photos, pictures from magazines, etc. that represent themselves, their walk with God or pictures that remind them of God.

Thank you so much for your support of these initiatives with your child. We encourage you to ask your child about the lesson each week and help them to learn their verses!

We love your kids! Thank you for allowing us to be part of their walks!
