Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: Sept. 20, 2020
This week the Elementary and PreTeen kids head to 1 Kings 19:14-21 and 2 Kings 2:1-15 and take a look at a different sort of friendship between Elijah and Elisha. God knew Elijah needed help and directed him to Elisha. Elisha came alongside Elijah and stayed with him to the very end. Elisha knew the importance of encouragement.
Bottom Line: Friends encourage one another. Our kids are growing up in a world that can feel like everyone is out for themselves. God has a different way for us to live. God wants us to take time out to encourage others. Kids will find out how they can be friends who use their words and actions to build others up.

Preschool kids will continue learning about Joseph. This week, they will see God using Joseph to help save a nation from starvation. Because Joseph patiently waits on God and trusts that God has a plan for him, he is able to see the good things God had planned for him to do along. The song embedded in the PreK video (Really Awesome Plan) is so good that I added it to this week’s Worship playlist so that even the Elementary and PreTeen kids will hear it.
PreK Message Summary:

Memory Verse: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ says the Lord.” Jeremiah 29:11, NLT
