Children’s Message February 18, 2026 Have you ever built a sandcastle at the beach? Maybe a tall one with towers, or one with a moat. Sandcastles are so fun to make. But what happens if you try to build a sandcastle with dry sand? It just falls apart. It crumbles right through your fingers. So what’s the secret ingredient? Water! When you add a little water, something amazing happens. The sand sticks together. It becomes strong enough to build walls and towers. The water hel

Matthew 5:13-20 No need to pretend Simply to be seen and to be felt Why does Jesus use salt and light? Because both are ordinary, everyday things—and yet both have extraordinary impact when they’re doing what they’re meant to do. Jesus chooses images that: everyone in the crowd would understand don’t depend on wealth, education, or status reveal how small things can change whole environments point to identity, not achievement Salt and light don’t try to be influential.

Children’s Message: Our Story John 1:29-42 1/18/2026 Today we’re going on a little field trip—right here inside the church. We’re going to visit three special places that help us grow in God’s family. And at each place, Jesus says to us, “Come and See.” As we walk together, let’s look closely, notice what’s happening, and say a few things out loud together. 1.

Children's Message 1/11/2026 ✨ [Texts] Matthew 3:13–17; Mark 1:9–11; Luke 3:21–22; John 1:29–34 At home, parents are invited to help children hold water in their hands and watch it flow down. Then, they can say: “That’s a little like God’s love—always moving, always reaching us.” When Jesus was baptized, God’s love poured over him, and God said, ‘You are my beloved.’ And God says that to us, too. Dear friend, I want to tell you a story about how we hear God's calls to us—kind

A Joyful Movement Children Message December 24, 2025 I want to tell you something special about the words we say tonight: Merry Christmas. First, the word merry . Do you know what merry means? It means happy, joyful, full of gladness — the kind of feeling that makes your face light up. So when we say merry, we’re talking about a feeling in our hearts. Now let’s look at the big word Christmas . It’s such a big word that we sometimes say it without thinking. But Christmas is ac

Children’s Message on 12/21/2025 Today we’re talking about angels. But before we talk about angels, we need to talk about a very important word: message . 🌟 A message is something someone wants you to know, or hear, or remember. When your grown‑up says, ‘Time to clean up!’ — that’s a message. When your teacher says, ‘Take your seats!’ — that’s a message. And every Sunday, when I talk with you right here, I’m sharing a message too. Now, someone who carries a message is call

Yahweh saves.) 🌟 You say: “What is Good News?!” 🌟 Children respond: “God keeps us safe.” ✨Part 2: The Angel and Joseph Joseph was worried. But one ni

🌟 Children’s Message: Advent Journey from Hope to Love Introduction This colorful tablecloth is made of many strips woven together—some dark, some light, some bright and cheerful. Each little square is like a person’s story, a family’s story, or a group’s story—a piece of their faith journey.

Children’s Message: Luke 21:5-19 Leader: How many people are in your family? How many friends and classmates do you have? What about teachers? Or how about neighbors? All of those are called relationships. Because we’re related and somehow connected to each other! Leader: Did you know God has relationships too?

Children’s Message Luke 20:27-38 Hey friends! I want to tell you about a time someone asked Jesus a tricky question. They said, “Jesus, what if a woman had seven husbands—who would she be married to in heaven?” They were trying to trap Jesus with a confusing question. But Jesus didn’t fall for it. He reminded them that God sees things differently than we do. Now let’s think about something: We all have lots of people in our lives, our family, our friends, our teachers, even p

🌟 Preschool Chapel Time Ten Commandments – Nov 3 & 4 Exodus 24:12–18 Children are invited to help tell the story. When I say, “God said, ‘I want the best for you!

November 2, 2025 Children’s Message: Hi friends, Today we’re going to learn two big words: Saint and Sinner . Can you say them with me? Saint! Sinner! What do they mean? Here’s an easy way to understand: Saints remember God’s love for themselves and for everyone. They look up to God’s love each day. Sinners forget about God’s love for themselves and for others. They look down and miss the love that’s always there. Now let’s look at these two words again: S-A-I-N-T and

🕊 Children’s Message John 8:31–36 • Reformation Sunday 👋 Hey friends! Have you ever used a ruler before? When do we use a ruler? How often do we need it? Well, sometimes people use invisible rulers—not the kind in your pencil box, but ones that try to measure how good or how smart or how special we are. They might say things like: “You’re too loud.” “You’re not fast enough.” “You should be more like them.” 📏 Free from Rulers We live in a world that tries to measure us wit
