We had so much fun this week at Beginagin Theme Park!
In large group, Zip and Andy Made their way to the top of the leaderboard of the Ultimate Theme Park Challenge by riding the Farris Wheel 8 times to gain 800 points each! Then, Fil Finagin announced that the person at the bottom of the leaderboard was going to be taken out of the competition unless someone wanted to give some of their points away. Zip and Andy decided to work together to each give away 500 points. By working together, they were able to do something great!
Wil Winagin told us the story of the Early Church from Acts 2:42-47. From this story, we learned God Does Great Things Through His Church!
Kids had a special assignment in small group to show that God STILL does great things through his church today. We're asking every K-5th grader to bring ONE can of food with them to church next week. Together, everyone in KidSpring will be able to help our community more than we could on our own!

This past Sunday we learned I Should Love Others The Way God Loves Me! Help your kids understand this by giving them opportunities to think of others before themselves. Here are a few ways you could do that:
We see how great God's love is in our memory verse for this series:
“And may you (point to others)
have the power to understand, (point to temples)
as all God’s people should, (spread arms to sides, palms up)
how wide, how long, (left arm out wide, right arm out wide)
how high, and how deep (right arm up high, left arm down low)
His love is.” (cross arms on chest)
Ephesians 3:18
This Sunday in KidSpring, preschoolers heard the story of The Good Samaritan from Luke 10:25-37. From this Bible story, we learned that I Can Love Others! In small group we talked about times when we can choose to love others. We can love others who are kind and play with us, and we can love others who may push or laugh at us. Jesus can help us love others--even those who are hard to love--because that's what He wants us to do!

We had so much fun this week in Beginagin Theme Park! In Large Group, Zip lost his iPod and needed help finding it, but the Tilt-A-Whirl ride was offering double points for the Ultimate Theme Park Challenge and that is Andy's most favorite ride in the whole wide world. Zip told Andy to go ride the Tilt-A-Whirl without him while he continued looking for his iPod, but Andy decided to stay and help Zip. Wil Winagin told us the story of Naomi and Ruth from Ruth 1-4. From this story, we learned I Should Love Others The Way God Loves Me!
Check in later this week to find out how you and your family can love others the way God loves us!
This past Sunday we learned I Am Valuable To God! Help kids understand this by asking them what they think is valuable. This could be a special video game, book, jewelry, or pet! Ask kids why they find this item valuable. Ask them how much they would be willing to sell it for. When they realize that they wouldn't want to sell this valuable item, remind them that God thinks they are valuable! We are priceless to Him and He loves us so much! They can see this in our memory verse for this series:
“And may you (point to others)
have the power to understand, (point to temples)
as all God’s people should, (spread arms to sides, palms up)
how wide, how long, (left arm out wide, right arm out wide)
how high, and how deep (right arm up high, left arm down low)
His love is.” (cross arms on chest)
