AT THE HOME // Vol 3 Issue 8
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
As we finish our last vacations, trips to the beach and sleepovers with cousins, and begin planning for a new school year, don't forget to add FORM Kids to your calendar. Be sure to know which events happen monthly and what activities to look for each quarter. We want to partner with you as you disciple your children and help them grow closer to Christ. Be sure to use the resources provided on this webpage as well as resources given at church. As we start a new school year, be sure to leave space on the calendar to gather with your church family and share Christian Fellowship!
Keep reading below to see what else is happening this month in Children’s ministry at Arlington SDA Church. Be sure to stay connected to the events happening with Children’s ministry by registering to receive texts updates.

+ What’s happening
FORM KIDS REGISTRATION//
As we move into a new year, it’s time to re-register for FORM Kids to receive updates and newsletters. Stay connected to calendar events through Instagram, Facebook, the church website, or receive text updates.
MESSY CHURCH// August 27, 2025
This year for Messy Church we will look at the character traits many people in our Bible possessed. We will look at how we can strengthen the good character traits God has blessed us with and how to strengthen those we may not display as easily. Through our study, we hope your family shares these character traits with each other and with your greater community.
Children’s Ministry Volunteer lunch
We appreciate all of our volunteers who work so hard to make Children’s ministry happen! Without our volunteers we would not have Sabbath school, Children’s church, VBS, or the many other events!
As a thank you, please join us for a thank you lunch for you and your family. Please register so we can plan for food. If you are not a current volunteer but plan to volunteer this year, please join us as we will also give information about this upcoming year.
Club Ministries
Pathfinders and Adventurers Clubs are restarting their year soon. Don’t forget to register for Pathfinders club for 5th grade and older. Register for Adventurers club for ages PreK3-4th grade. This is a great time to connect with other families and to watch your child grow in their faith in Jesus as well as learn necessary life skills.
WHAT we’re teaching +
On your mark, get set, go! When a shepherd named David became king, it was a whole new ballgame! He had some big wins and some big losses, too, but he also had a great plan for how to overcome his challenges. In this 4-week series, kids will team up with David and learn that making peace, following God, showing kindness, and
forgiveness are all part of God's game plan for us!

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.
