FORMED HOLY TO GOD
MAY 2026
AT THE HOME // Vol 4 Issue 5
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
It’s hard to believe we are already in the month of April! Spring season can be a busy season as we finish out the school year with field trips, school performances and spring parties. It can be difficult to carve out family time and sit at the dinner table even once a week. We know the value of family time and want to come alongside you to create memorable moments with your family. We often think we need to take a trip or plan a big family outing for the family, but oftentimes its the small moments we spend together that make a lasting effect and are remembered for years to come. This spring, continue to carve out time for your family to just be together. Perhaps take a night this month to play a board game, bake cookies, watch an old movie, play a game of soccer, or go for a bike ride in your neighborhood. Print or use the Bingo card below for family fun ideas!
Use this Bingo card to see if you can make a bingo with the activities listed below! Return a Bingo’d card to Pastor Tonya by the end of Spring for a special surprise!
What is FORM KIDS?
We desire to see families grow stronger in their relationship with God and each other, producing young adults who are confident in their worth: valued by God and their family. Here are a few ways Form Kids can help you as you disciple your children.
Messy church provides an opportunity for families to engage in worship together. Every 4th Wednesday @6pm. Dinner provided
Family Connect events provide an opportunity for families to play together. Throughout the year, dates change based on event.
Community Connection provides opportunities for families to form relationships with the larger church body. Occurs once a quarter.
Sabbath School provides weekly Bible study for kids and provides parents the opportunity to share their faith with their children as they teach a class.
Family Devotions provides weekly activities for families to easily complete together in the form of reading, questions, and an engaging activity.

WHAT we’re teaching +
Can you remember the last time you got lost in a really good book? The epic quests, daring escapes, and wild adventures make it hard to put down! While our lives might not include mythical creatures or fantastical lands, we're all part of an incredible adventure-following God and helping others do the same. Each week, kids will explore the amazing and true stories about Jesus that show us what it means to live for God. In this 5-week series, kids will discover the true story of how Jesus is always with us, God helps us be righteous, God hears us when we pray, the Holy Spirit gives us power, and God helps us share the good news.
