Kids Connect: July 2019 Theme

Preschool 3s, PreK, Kindergarten

This month, we will continue with our Power Up theme as we learn how Jesus gives us the power to love others—and not just the ones who are easy to love. No, this kind of power is what helps us love everyone! This powerful kind of love looks a lot like goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Bottom Line: Jesus gives me the power to do everything.

Memory Verse: I can do everything by the power of Christ— Philippians 4:13, NIRV

Grades 1-6

God created us in His image, and He sent His Son, Jesus, to show us the way to live. He also knew we would need help; that’s why He sent us the Holy Spirit. With the power of the Spirit, we can produce fruit that points others to Jesus. Every month, kids discover something about God’s character and how they can reflect or respond to that character because they are created in God’s image. We call those Life-Apps. And this summer we’re discovering how several of these Life-Apps show up specifically in what the Apostle Paul calls the fruit of the Spirit.

Bottom Lines:
Wk 1: Show God’s goodness to others.
Wk 2: Be faithful so others can count on you.
Wk 3: God can give you the strength to be gentle.
Wk 4: God gives you the power to have self-control.

Memory Verse: God began a good work in you. And I am sure that He will carry it on until it is completed. That will be on the day Christ Jesus returns. — Philippians 1:6, NIRV
