Gearing up for the fall!

Hi again from Adventure Pointe!  Parents, I want to take a couple lines to let you know what's starting up here in Adventure Pointe this summer.  As you can read from my last post, we are starting a summer curriculum that will end on August 23, our  "Move-up" Sunday.  

Things are going to start looking a little different as we get closer to our new year kick-off on Sunday, August 30.  The kids are starting to bring home a piece of paper from church and it's important that you look at it and help them complete it and return it.  The paper has activities designed to help your kids digest what's been presented each Sunday in Adventure Pointe.  Along with the activities, there is a bible verse we are encouraging them to learn as well.  These two things are crucial in our desire to help you get God's Word into your kids' hearts.  

Another important aspect that we are ramping up is that we are going to try to make Adventure Pointe a place where your kids want to come and learn about Jesus.  To do this we are starting to record things like completed activity sheets, memorizing the weekly bible verse, bringing a visitor, and doing Christian service.  Each of these will earn rewards for the kids (which I'm still putting together).  The kicker though is that the only time the kids can have these things recorded is during the fellowship time before the start of our Sunday worship service.  Our leaders will not be checking these things during the service so if you don't get the kids here early they will miss out, and none of us wants that! ;)

I'm on vacation but will be checking my email, if you have any question or would  like more explanation I would be happy to respond to you.  See you in a couple of weeks!!

Traveling Route 66 this summer in Adventure Pointe

Hi Everyone! This summer the older kids in Adventure Pointe are starting a new series called "Route 66." We are starting in Genesis and we're traveling through the Bible in 8 weeks (yes we are speeding!) We will finish this series on "Move-up" Sunday on August 23. So far we've traveled from Genesis through Deuteronomy. The lesson today was from Numbers 13-14. Be sure to ask your kids about their lesson, and if they are going to trust God like Caleb and Joshua did!!

Verse for the week: Deuteronomy 6:4-5 -- "Hear O Israel: The LORD our God , the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."
