CPC Kids Clubhouse

We will begin May lessons with the final lesson of unit 14 –The Northern Kingdom. We will learn how the Northern kingdom of Israel was destroyed because of the Israelites’ sin. God’s gracious patience lasted for years, but the people failed to repent and seek the Lord wholeheartedly. Repentance is a subject we’ve been really focusing on lately.

We start Unit 15 – The Southern Kingdom the second week in May, learning about the Good Kings of Judah. Kids will learn that the Southern Kingdom of Judah experienced the reign of both good and evil kings. Yet, the people’s allegiance was divided between the worship of God and the idols of foreign nations. God sent prophets (Micah; Nahum; Habakkuk; Zephaniah), to warn the people to turn back to Him, but they did not listen. God disciplined His people by sending them into captivity in Babylon but promised they would one day return home.

We will pause our study on May 24^th for the One Spirit Many Congregations service.*

April begins with Resurrection Sunday! We resume our normal Sunday Morning Clubhouse time on April 12th with unit 14 -The Northern Kingdom. This study continues in the book of 2 Kings and includes the Prophets Elisha, Jonah, and Hosea. We’ll learn how the Northern Kingdom continued to worship idols. How God provided prophets to warn His people to turn away from their sin. In the Jonah lesson we’ll see that while Nineveh repented and was spared God’s judgment, the nation of Israel refused to worship God alone.

BIG PICTURE QUESTION: Why do Christians continue to sin?
Answer: Christians continue to sin because we still have a sin nature, but when Jesus returns, He will make us sinless like Him.

March

We just completed learning about King Soloman’s wisdom and accomplishments. Now we learn how Solomon’s unfaithfulness to God led to a divided and troubled kingdom.

We begin a new study volume this month: Volume 5 – DIVISION AND DEFIANCE

This 13-week study will reveal the many warnings God’s people received—warnings to seek repentance from their sinful, idolatrous ways and turn to God. Because God is holy, good, and loving, He promised a new covenant for His people: one forever written on their hearts.

In March’s study unit: A Troubled Kingdom, we will be introduced to the prophet Elijah and how God demonstrated His presence, power, and preeminence as the one true God.

KEY PASSAGE: 1 Kings 8:60

BIG PICTURE QUESTION: How many gods are there?
Answer: There is only one true God who alone deserves worship

MARCH LESSONS:

• The Kingdom Divided (1 Kings 11–13)
• Evil Kings (1 Kings 14–15; 2 Chronicles 12–13)
• Elijah Confronted Ahab (1 Kings 18–19)
• The Reign of Ahab (1 Kings 20–22; 2 Kings 1)
• *Special Palm Sunday Lesson

 Lenten Devotional

Lots of Lenten resources, countdown paper chains, games, and a fun scratch off Lent calendar were passed out to our CPC and C4K kids.
