GO Kids
Welcome!
We are passionate in helping kids engage with Holy Spirit and each other through discussions and activities. When kids arrive, they will participate in a variety of stations of their choice - choices include craft, game, playing with toys, and other extra stations we make available for any particular session. After this, they will break into small groups as they partake in a large group lesson. The small groups are led by trained youth leaders for: Discussion Times, Bible Reading, and Activities. Through the set up of station time and small group time, children will build relationships with youth they can look up to, and will also have the opportunity to be trained in leadership at a young age.

To become his student, his disciple, to be ready to follow Jesus’ instructions and be trained by Jesus.

The following week, I will post those pictures on our website so you can share the experience with the other kids/families who participated.
This week:
- Find a ROCK and take a picture (could be small like a pebble or big)
- Satan came to Jesus and tempted him to turn a rock into bread thereby proving that he is the Son of God.
2. STAND ON TOP OF SOMETHING
- The devil took Jesus to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple and then a bit later took him to the top of a very high mountain.
CRAFT IDEAS (pick one or do them both):
CRAFT ONE: Have kids paint the rock or rocks they found.
CRAFT TWO:
Supplies:
- liquid glue
- cotton ball or something to spread the glue
- crafting sand (you probably don’t have that on hand. You can use salt or something similar of whatever you have on hand - you could color the salt by mixing salt and food colouring in a plastic baggie, but then you will need to let it dry before using it)
- Click HERE, Hit the download icon near the top right and then print out the page you want - regular or card stock is good.
To Make:
- Drizzle some glue on the picture where you want to have the sand (or salt, …). Let your child spread the glue out by using the cotton ball.
- Now pour 1/4 cup or so of sand over the glue. Then lift up paper over a bin to shake off the extra sand to save for another child.
- Now you have a desert picture.
GAME IDEA:
Supplies: 6 containers, pen and paper, something to represent stones that you can throw inside the house safely.
Purpose: When Satan was tempting Jesus to sin, he tempted him to change a stone into bread. Jesus knew that he didn’t have to prove himself to anyone, including Satan, and spoke from bible to say that man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from God. Today, we will play a game using stones (the item you chose to represent a stone) to remind us that even when we are tempted to sin, Jesus is always with us to help us to do the right thing.
Preparation:
- On a slip of paper, write: Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and brave. Don’t be afraid of them. Don’t be terrified because of them. The Lord your God will go with you. He will never leave you. He’ll never desert you.”
- Cut the 6 sentences of the verse apart.
- Put one sentence into each container.
- Set the containers a small distance away.
Play: The child(ren) now take turns trying to throw the ‘stone’ into each container. When they are successful, they can take out the slip of paper. Once they have won all slips of paper they can put them in order and read it out with help if needed.
