AT THE HOME // Vol 3 Issue 5
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
Can you believe it’s already May! As the school year winds down and summer is close at hand, we are preparing for Summer activities as well! We will have a family picnic to celebrate the end of our school year as well as VBS to culminate our year. Look below or the registration and information link. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and your family. We are also considering starting a children’s choir this fall and would like to get an idea of who may be interested. Please keep a lookout for more information about a possible children’s choir.

WHAT we’re teaching +
Puzzles don't come with step-by-step instructions for solving them. That's what makes them so much fun! You have to try to figure out the next best step to take. When Jesus left Earth, his followers had to wonder the same thing - "What's next?" In this 4-week series about the Early Church, kids will see how Jesus' followers solved the puzzle of what to do next and the ways we can follow in their footsteps. As kids discover what to do next, they'll learn they can follow Jesus, pray for others, love like Jesus did, and share the good news.

WEEKLY FAMILY DEVOTIONALS +
Weekly devotionals are a great way to keep your children talking about what they are learning in Sabbath School class but to also engage the family in worship. Each week, read the Bible verse together, then complete the hands-on activities together. You can use these activities Friday evening before Sabbath School class or Saturday afternoon to review their lesson. Enjoy playing, laughing, and hopefully listening to lots of giggles as you lead your family in meaningful worship.
