Patience is a…

…VIRTUE! And, wouldn’t you know, it’s our virtue for the month of May. Funny how things work out. We are really enjoying what we’ve learned so far in EpicKidz. We’ve explored the story of Jacob and Esau, and how Esau’s impatience cost him more than he could have known. Last week, we talked about the Israelites’ impatience and how that led them to worship a golden cow. A golden cow! They were being led through the desert by the One True God, and they compromised and settled for a lesser god because of their impatience. Yesterday we got the whole large group involved in the re-enactment of Joshua and the Battle of Jericho!
This whole month is about Patience, and our EpicKidz are doing a great job waiting for something they really want… an ice cream party! So don’t forget to bring the spoon you got at KidzJam on May 30th. We will have an awesome ice cream party at the end of Large Group to celebrate the patience you’ve shown at home and school. There’s nothing we love more than throwing parties, but to be able to reward you all for waiting… we love that even more!
Each week, we learn our bottom line for the Bible story. This month we’re specifically talking about:
If you don’t wait, it could cost you
(Esau and his birthright)
Don’t get tired of doing the right thing
(Moses and the Israelites – the golden calf)
Don’t miss out because you think you can’t wait
(Joshua and the Battle of Jericho)
If you don’t wait, it could hurt others
(A Western sketch that teaches the principle of patience)
Our fifth week will be another venture into one of our Faith Skills! Join us on May 30th, not only for the ice cream party, but where we TAKE PRAYER OUT OF THE BOX!
Have a great month!
