0-3 room (Nursery)

Happy New Year! Here at Bethesda, we want to partner with you in raising the next generation of Jesus followers. From the littlest of babies to our oldest KidChurch kids, we want you to know that you are not alone.

"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." - Philippians 1:3-6.

Our Nursery volunteers will spend some time praying for your family this month, while crafting, reading, and playing with your child. Each Sunday, families will receive a prayer card, where they can send in prayer requests to our staff throughout the week. We are so glad you're here, and it is an honor to pray for you.

4 & 5'S / KINDERGARTEN ROOM

WHAT IS THE BIBLE?

These Kindergarten brains are getting bigger and bigger each week as we learn more about the Bible.

New year, new beginnings! Our Kindergarten Crew will spend the first half of the month looking ahead to 2025! What are you most excited about!? What fun things do you want to do! What is one thing you want to tell God about the year ahead? Is there something you want to learn this year?

As we kick off our Alignment Series on January 19, our kids will be learning what it means to be formed by Jesus, believe in Jesus, and follow Jesus - right alongside you. Each Sunday, families will get a prayer card that will help remind them about the week's focus. We pray that these small reminders will help your family connect and grow together this month!!

1ST - 3RD GRADE SPACE

Hello, 2025! I can't believe you're already here!! Our 1st-5th Grade kids will spend January together, laughing, playing, and practicing joyful fellowship to start the year out right!

On January 5, we'll take some intentional time to look ahead for the year, make some achievable goals that we'll continue to support each other in, and plan some really cool events for families together!!

On January 12, our kids will spend Sunday morning celebrating with a KidChurch Game Day! We hope to see you there for bowling, carpet ball, checkers, a movie, and lots of crafts and snacks!!

As we step into our Alignment Series, this crew will learn all about what it means to be "dusty" before Jesus, and we'll learn some steps we can take to get there. Each Sunday, families will receive a small card that will help remind them about the week's focus, as well as offer a space for you to send your prayer requests. The staff at Bethesda will be praying for your family all month long. 

"Jesus himself invited his disciples to 'be with him.' You would spend every waking moment with your rabbi (teacher) - sleeping at his side, eating at his table, sitting at his feet - and end up, after long hours walking behind him from town to town, covered in his dust." - excerpt from Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.

4TH & 5TH GRADE SPACE

What does it mean to follow Jesus? What does it look like? What does it feel like? God sent the Holy Spirit to live with everyone who believes in Him, and He promised that it would help us answer these tough questions.

We were created to be in relationship! This month, our 1st-5th Graders will be together for some intentional fun and fellowship. We'll celebrate the new year, play some games, eat some snacks, and start looking at Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer. This group will be taking a deeper dive into our Alignment Series with some small group time each Sunday. Your children will be able to share some fun stories from the week and talk through some of the same things you're learning in BigChurch! We pray that this series will allow your family deeper connections to Jesus and each other.
