Sunday, May 12
Kids will learn from Acts 15-18 when Paul and Silas started churches. I love the visual map that is in the older kids’ activity page this week. It shows where Paul and Silas started churches. Share this visual with your kids and see if they can solve it and learn a little along the way.
Offering Update
Only two weeks left for the Esperanza Viva Orphanage offering project! If kids collect $180, the mission team will be able to have a special ice cream party with the kids in the orphanage! We are so close to this goal with about $20 to go.

Summer Sunday School Volunteers Needed!
This is a great time to allow our school year leaders time off to refresh or to try out serving in Kids Ministry. You could serve as little as twice a month!
- Childcare is available for birth – 2-year olds each week. Volunteers are needed to care for, play with, and read to these little ones.
- Programming is available for 3k-5th grade June and July (off July 7th). Volunteers are needed as lead teachers, assistants, large groups leaders, and at check ins.
July 31 is Kids Camp! Volunteers are needed!
- Small Group Leaders | Be “homebase” for a specific group of girls or boys and get to connect and guide kids through discussions throughout the day.
- Special Leaders | Do you have a special hobby or gift you would like to share? Specials are similar to “breakout sessions” or “workshops” where leaders walk kids through an activity (baking, crafting, sports, games, experiments, etc) that you plan and tie into camps’ theme: Scuba – diving into friendship with God.
- Small group assistants, Special assistants, and floaters are also needed!
