AT THE HOME // Vol 4 Issue 1
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
Last month we ended on a high note with the Easter Glow Hunt, where we reflected on what Easter is all about (JESUS’S LOVE FOR US), and making memories with our families and friends. It was wonderful seeing everyone have fun and fellowship together. And this month we have more planned for the FORM KIDS Family.
Please see below for upcoming events!
+ What’s happening
MESSY CHURCH // APRIL 24,2024
FORM KIDS strives to integrate a family discipleship model that involves partnering with and equipping parents in their roles as faith influencers. One of the ways we do that is through Messy Church, an immersive interactive space, where parents join with their children to learn, teach, and empower them through Biblical themes.
CHILDREN’S CHURCH// APRIL 20, 2023
Kids in PreK - 5th Grade are invited to attend our second quarter Children's Church on April 20 at 11:30 a.m. in the Youth Annex. Bible stories, crafts, games, mission, and snacks will round out a worship experience designed especially for kids!
Register now to help us plan an awesome worship experience for all of our kids!
VBS REGISTRATION// JUNE 24-28

WHAT we’re teaching +
From retro toys to fashion trends, we all love a good throwback. Especially for grown-ups because it reminds us of being young again.) There are things that remind us of a moment in time, but other things feel timeless and like they’re always in style. In this four-week series, kids will travel through the decades and see the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels are always trending. As we hear from Jesus we’ll see it’s always good to be humble, we always forgive, Jesus is always fair, and love always needs action.

PARENT TIP OF THE MONTH +
I know “screen time” has a pretty bad reputation, but our phones and devices aren’t going away anytime soon. We can either fight to keep technology out of our kids’ hands, or we can try to reframe technology to make it helpful instead of just a distraction. What if we could help our kids use their devices to grow in their faith? With a little intentionality, technology can be a tool to practice the four spiritual habits:
