New Order of Service: ANGER DANGER SERIES (Righteous Anger)

Anger Danger

     Angry Birds Themed Series - Righteous and Unrighteous Anger

     Series Power Verse: “In your anger, do not sin.” – Ephesians 4:26 (KJV)

      Righteous Anger (God punishes Cain.)

When the angry birds let their anger explode into violence, it became a sin.  Even though the pigs sinned first by stealing their eggs, the birds were still wrong, too.  Sometimes we think because we are wronged first that our unrighteous anger is justified.  If our sibling hits us, and then, we turn around and hit them back, it doesn’t matter who hit who first.  Our parents will punish both of us. God was not happy when Cain killed Abel.  He punished him. We have consequences for our sins, too sometimes.  Just remember God is always there to forgive us.

   Series Power Verse: “In your anger, do not sin.” – Ephesians 4:26 (KJV)

      Angry Actions (Cain kills Abel.)

The angry birds could have simply talked things over with the pigs. They could
have called the police. However, they chose to let the sin build up until they
lashed out at the pigs in violence. Cain also let his jealousy build up until he
exploded with violence.

New Series Art: BOLD

BOLD
Ordinary People Doing the Extraordinary in Jesus' Name

We will begin the Bold series at our church in early July and finish in late August, so I won't be posting our orders of service for a while.  Incase anyone would like to use this theme, here are the Biblical examples of boldness we will most likely use during the series: Paul & Silas, Abigail, Abraham, Deborah, Stephen, and Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

New Series Artwork: CROWNED

My initial post on the Crowned series listed it as an 11 week series.  After prayerful consideration, we have condensed the series to a 5 week message series that leads up to Easter. I may use some of the unused ideas in my preschool SPARKS class.

We will immediately begin the CROWNED series after wrapping up our ANGER DANGER series.  CROWNED focuses on life lessons we can learn from some of the Bible's most famous and infamous kings.  The final message will be taught on Palm Sunday and is entitled King of Kings. (To allow families time to be together in the sanctuary, we have no Kids' Church on Easter.  We do our Easter service on Palm Sunday.)

The series will also tie in fictional and cartoon kings to assist in making the Biblical kings easier to understand for the kids.  I will be uploading the series in the next few days.

The First King
Saul loses his crown because he disobeys God.  We wrote a skit where the Burger King king loses his paper crown after he disobeys the commercial director and eats a whopper before the commercial can be shot instead of waiting until after the commercial is filmed.

The Give Up King
Asa gives up on his faith in the end.  We will be using the clip of Lightning McQueen helping the King across the finish line in the Disney & Pixar film CARS. 

The Dancing King
King David dances before the Lord unashamed.  We have wrote a skit about the King Vitamin king who dances before the Lord when he discovers a toy in his box of King Vitamin cereal.

The Kid King
Despite his youth, Josiah did great things for God.  He cleansed the land of idolatry.  We will be using the story of Simba from Disney's animated film The Lion King.  Simba chased the hyenas and Scar from the Pride Lands.

King of Kings
Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey and the townspeople cried out Hosanna.  We will learn that of all the great Kings, Jesus is King of Kings.  After our service, the kids will enjoy an Easter egg hunt.

Back To School Magnets

Print the sheet, cut out each individual image, and have the kids write their first name and grade (with a white paint marker).  Attach the images in rows and columns on a magnetic sheet (available online at Oriental Trading or at most dollar stores) and cut out for simple DIY magnets.  Following the adult service have volunteers/kids pass the magnets out for church members.  This is a great way to get the church involved with praying for kids throughout the school year.
