AT THE HOME // Vol 3 Issue 9
Hello, FORM KIDS Fam!
We hope you and your family are in the full swing of the school year and have begun to find your new school rhythm. We have lots of things starting and restarting this year with FORM Kids. We are excited to restart Messy Church every 4th Wednesday, we will also have an upcoming thank you lunch for Children’s ministry volunteers. September 13 we will not have any Sabbath School classes on camps but there will be Sabbath boxes available for kids to grab and complete during the service happening at Burton Academy campus.

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// September 24, 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.
Children’s Choir
If your child is interested in singing and becoming part of a children’s choir begin by taking a parent survey. The children’s choir will begin after the international Sabbath Children’s choir performance. Keep an eye out for more information!
WHAT we’re teaching +
King Solomon is best known for his wisdom and for building God’s temple. Thankfully, he passed on his wisdom so others could have a strong foundation for building up their faith. In this series, kids will hear from Solomon and the wisdom he shared about the kind of life God wants to help us build. We will see that God gives us directions to follow, listens to our requests, is worthy of our worship, and gives us true wisdom.

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.
