Camp

Kidz Inc. takes a group of kids to camp every summer. We take a trip to Lost River West Virginia to the Lost River Retreat Center. We take kids going into the 3rd grade through the 6th grade. More details will be in the bulletin soon but we are thinking about the last full week in July. Please mark this on your calendar if you are interested and email me if you have questions or would like to volunteer for the week. You can reach me at PastorRoy@LoudOnPurpose.com

I stink!

OK! As you have already discovered, I am not a good blogger. I promised a weekly blog but I stink and that is all there is to it!

What I have decided to do is blog once a month and give you all the items you need for the month. I will most likely put them in my blog a week or two before the end of the month. I will also start placing hard copies of these items at the check in desk if that is easier for you.

Here are the items for April:

Refrigerator Door - April week 1
Refrigerator Door - April week 2
Refrigerator Door - April week 3
Refrigerator Door - April week 4
God Time Cards - April week 1
God Time Cards - April week 2
God Time Cards - April week 3
God Time Cards - April week 4

See you this Weekend @ Fair Oaks Church!

Finally got a minute to blog...

You ever have this problem...you get so busy that the new stuff you try to implement, becomes an issue of time for you? My last post said I would blog on Tuesday and leave God Time and Fridge Door card for you. It is now Friday and I am a little frustrated with myself. You have probably been waiting for days to get this right? ;-)

See you on the Weekend!!!

New Stuff!

Last week I left fridge door cards and God Time card for you all. I will sent 2 out on Tuesday. The reason I am not getting them out today is because I spent my entire week getting new stuff ready for the kids. Phil Bassham and I redesigned the front lobby of the church for Kidz Inc. Check In. There are still a few things to do but it already looks very kid friendly!

I also put a huge name tag in the hallway near the Kidz Inc. Clubhouse! This is so the kids can slap thier stickers on it after they are picked up from Kidz Inc. It should be fun and I think the kids will like it!

February Virtue and Family Help

It's a new month and a new virtue! We are talking about Fairness in Kidz Inc. and this week we will be discussing the topic James taught the church about being fair to those in your congregation. He warned the church in James 2:1-9 not to show favor to those who were dressed better or had status in society. You can learn memory verses and help illustrate the point to your kids by using the daily devotions called "God Time Cards." To keep the virtue fresh each week, you can use the Refrigerator Door Cards to mount on the fridge and help everyone memorize the verse for the week. There will be new devotions and memory verses posted on this blog each week so keep reading. You can find these materials from this web link:
Refrigerator Door Cards 2/01/09
God Time Cards 2/01/09

See you this Weekend!

Coming in February

Kidz Inc. has the important goal of helping parents in showing their kids how to be Loud On Purpose for God! We will have resources available in February that will assist you in the character development with your kids.

What will it include? It will have a fridge door card that will have memory verses on it and the definition for the month. It will also include God Time Cards that are simple daily devotions for you and your kids. To add to these items, we will include a website with Family Wise materials you can buy. These materials include family activities, devotions and music CDs that reinforce the virtue of the month.

Hope there items help you in partnering with Kidz Inc. because Kidz Inc. stands for Incorporating God's Word in Kidz Lives!

See you on Sunday!

Resourcefulness

This month we are learning about resourcefulness in the Kidz Inc. Clubhouse. We encourage parents to observe those times when the kids have shown themselves to be resourceful around the house. When you notice that they have been resourceful, send me an email story and we will award 5 feet of duct tape for each story so we can tape Vinny or Frankie to the Clubhouse wall. It will be a blast!

What is the deal with the duct tape? Duct tape is the most resourceful material in the world. Seriously! You can use it for about anything. Just this week I used duct tape to fix a leak in the radiator of my old car. Cool, right?
