YESTERDAY IN KIDS@HOME
We told the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead by Jesus. Jesus asked the people who were there to help Lazarus by taking the grave clothes off of him. We wrapped and unwrapped our stuffies who were our Lazarus stand ins.
THE CHALLENGE FOR THIS WEEK
Make a poster with the words “How can I help?” on it. Stick it up somewhere you will see everyday and then remember the question as you go about your day and see what comes up that you could help with.
TO DO AT HOME
TO READ:
Acts 2:1-17
The Holy Spirit comes on the disciples of Jesus who are gathered, waiting like He had told them to do. The Holy Spirit shows up in the form of wind and fire that doesn’t burn on this occasion but there are other ways the Spirit shows up in the stories in the bible and in our lives.
TO REMEMBER:
God says, In the last days I will give my Spirit freely to all kinds of people. Acts 2:17
A PRAYER
It’s a very simple prayer this week but a very good one.
Come Holy Spirit.
Amen
TALK ABOUT IT
Can you see the wind?
How can you show the wind’s action?
THE GRAND PLAN FOR SUNDAY - JUNE 5
Sign in as a family at the playground that you can see from the parking lot. Parents will get number stickers for collection. KIDS MUST STAY WITH THE TEAM ONCE SIGNED IN & NOT WANDER BETWEEN PLACES - this area is way too public to let kids roam independently. Should we need parents we will text you.
BridgeKIDS will spend the whole morning outside so dress appropriately for the weather - WATERPROOF LAYERS will help as it looks pretty damp at this point, I am hopeful that it will be summer soon.
There will be a story, craft activity, games, and a time for snack and reflection. We’ll have water and snacks for the kids, if you want to send a different drink feel free to do so.
REGISTER YOUR KIDS
Please message Sarah if you are planning on being there this Sunday so we can make sure we have the appropriate number of team and all the bits and pieces we need. 604 615 9406

UNDER 3s
Two team members will be wearing red shirts that say, I WOULD LOVE TO HOLD YOUR BABY, and they truly would. They will be happy to have your under 3s to play with or walk around with during the gathering time. If you have a stroller with you that would be handy to use. Please make use of this team if you have littles.
They will get you if a diaper needs changing.
AGE 3 to Grade 1
This team will be wearing bright orange shirts, it’ll be hard to miss them! They will be on the playground ready to sign your kids in.
They will be with your children on the playground and outside under the covered area for story, crafts & snack.
Snacks will be provided (nut free with options for gluten free too). Please send your kid with a warm drink if they would like that or something else.
Find them outside after the gathering to pick up your children - either undercover or on the playground.
Grade 2 to Grade 5
This team will be wearing blue shirts. They will be on the playground ready to sign you in.
They will be with your children in the under covered area and on the playground. They will be doing story, crafts, snack and reflection with them.
Snacks will be provided (nut free with options for gluten free too). Please send your kid with a warm drink if they would like that or something else.
Find them outside after the gathering to pick up your children - either undercover or on the playground.
JOIN A TEAM
We will take a break over July & August but be back in September on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month - I’d love to gather a team to launch KIDS IN THE WILD again then.
If you are someone who enjoys children and wants to help provide space for them to connect with God and know how loved they are then this job is for you. The bottom line for those who serve in bridgeKIDS during any gathering in person on online is that we are connection people not content providers. Your aim is to be present with the children and develop relationships with them. We want you to be an additional loving adult working in a supporting role alongside their parents.
If you would like to join us on a live Sunday morning and hang out with the children please contact Sarah asap!
