CPC Kids Clubhouse

August

The July lessons in the book of Daniel were very engaging, full of wonderful examples for how kids can stand strong in their faith as they face whatever “lion” come up in their own lives. Now the time of captivity is over and after 70 years, God is brining His people home to Judah August lesson will be full of hope. Let the rebuilding begin!

HOPE At HOME (Unit 17)

Sunday Clubhouse Kids will hear how through the prophet Zechariah, God spoke a message of hope to His people about what would happen in the future. The people began to rebuild the temple so that they would have a place to worship God. Years later in Persia, God used Esther to save His people through her bravery and sacrifice. And August wraps up with Nehemiah rebuilding the wall (in record time!)

KEY PASSAGE: Isaiah 25:9

BIG PICTURE QUESTION: How did God plan to fix what sin broke?
Answer: Before He created the world, God planned to send the Messiah

July

We pushed our lesson plans up a week due to the mid-year Congregation meeting where kids stayed in service. So July’s lessons include all but one lesson from unit 16.

HOPE FOR CAPTIVES

Sunday Morning Clubhouse kids will learn that consequences are tough! The people are in exile because of their failure to follow His plans and worship Him only. However, while the people were far away from the land God had given them, they were not far from God. The kids will see that the Lord was with His people even while they were in exile. He watched over them and promised that they would one day return to the land. When they did, they would return to Him as well.

The last Sunday of July we get to see how God brought His people home from the book of Ezra.

KEY PASSAGE: 1 Corinthians 10:31

BIG PICTURE QUESTION: How can we glorify God?  
Answer: We can glorify God by loving Him and obeying Him.

June

We’ll be wandering the dessert, learning how to be God’s people with the Israelites this month. Kids will see that God continues to show Himself faithful to the Israelites, even though He knew they would be unfaithful to Him. God gave His people commands to follow because He loved them. God instructed the Israelites on how to love Him and other people. He gave them clear instructions on what it means to worship Him alone.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION: Why do we need to be saved?
Answer: People are sinful and cannot save themselves.

KEY PASSAGE: 1 Samuel 2:2

Kids will be welcome to hang out just outside the pavilion with Bonnie and Evangeline during the meeting portion of the service.
