UPSIDE DOWN
MARCH KIDS CONNECTION THEME
Our society wants us to think that success is in how much money you make, the things you have, or how many followers you have. It’s not that much different than what people believed in Jesus’ time. Just as he did back then, Jesus turns that whole narrative upside down. He defines success through our humility and service to others. He showed us what that was like in his every day actions and words. Jesus healed, listened to and cared for people how society deemed as unimportant. This month at Kids Connection we will turn toward Jesus and other people who encountered him as we learn what humility looks like and how we can follow their example to treat other the way Jesus would treat you!

It is a caring and welcoming space for kids to come to each week. See the procedures below to help maintain a safe and healthy environment.
- Check-in at the Kids Connection Check-in station prior to the service at 10 a.m.
- Once checked-in, find a spot to sit in the sanctuary with your household.
- Shortly into the service, kids will be invited up for a kid's message.
- After the kid's message, kids are dismissed to Kids Connection. They will follow leaders to the Ministry Center (located all the way down the stairs).
- During the first 10-15 minutes of Kids Connection, all kids will be together and will hear the Bible story or lesson that is the focus for the week.
- Following the story, kids will do age appropriate application activities. We use a variety of application activities to increase the chance that the lesson sticks for everyone. This could include games, crafts, music, or more discussion-based activity.
- Kids Connection concludes at 11 am. Parents and guardians can pick up their kids in the Ministry Center. If the service finishes before 11, adults are asked to enjoy a cup of coffee, snack, or conversation in Fellowship Hall until Kids Connection concludes.
We look forward to gathering and providing a safe and welcoming environment for your children! Contact Chelsea, our Family Ministry Coordinator, if you have any questions about Kids Connection.
