I love kids

I am the children's room coordinator for our 3-10 year old classroom. Yes we are all in one classroom and to say it is a challenge to reach each child at their various age is definitely out side the box. But the way I see it, if God gives you an assignment if you'll listen, He will also give you the way to make it happen.

Well, He has and we are thriving - more importantly our kids are thriving. Recently we had a Oasis Training (the name of our children's ministry is Oasis Kids) and our Oasis Kids took over the Wednesday night service (approved by our Pastors). We began planning in February and began talking and praying about the theme and what we wanted to accomplish. When it comes to kids there is so much we want to accomplish.

We had a wonderful evening and it proved to be a great resource for recruitment without going out and trying to recruit people. Its amazing how God just moves on hearts.

Our theme was " A Heart for Children's Ministry." We were focused on giving things for "children to reach for" instead of candy, chips, soda, video games, etc. Their hearts are hungry and boredom is a loud suggestion. So we wanted to give ideas for parents and kids to reach for when they think their hungry, or bored, to reach for things about Jesus. Reach for their Bible, or even an activity based on the Bible. So I created some things for parents to take with them.

One of the things that I thought was so wonderful, I found on Pinterest from Rachel Wojo, was a Bible reading plan for kids. I printed it out for Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John along with instructions to parents to get stickers and make Bible reading a fun daily activity for their family.

I also created for our younger children - ABC Attitude Cards you can obtain a set of your owe from by going to my store at www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Suzy-Bzz-Things.  You will want to print them out, laminated them for long term use, hole punched them and then put a colored plastic ring so they can hang on a hook, you can review the ABC's with your child, have a verse every day to read. Its a way to bring the awareness of God into your child's everyday.

Here is a sample of Alphabet Cards. 

Recently one of our grandparents who brings her 3 grandchildren to Oasis told me her one granddaughter was dealing with a disease. I told her that I would bring her healing scriptures for her to confess daily. Well, I was prompted to create a set of Healing Scripture cards similar to the ABC Attitude cards. They are also available

Healing scripture cards there are 29 cards in all. You can get your set at my Teachers Pay Teachers Page Suzy Bzz Things.

If you believe that Jesus is your healer, and that He still heals today then these cards are for you. Declare them in faith. Believe and take them just as you would take the medicine the doctor prescribes. The doctor is practicing medicine - our Jesus is the Great Physician. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is (eternally changeless, always) the same yesterday and today and forever.

We can count on Him healing us. Believe in His Word, act on His Word, and say what His Word says.

Kids will reach for something - why not Jesus!

Be Blessed!
