Main Point – Forgiveness God Does Not Lack.  To Him you can always go back.

Bible Verse – Acts 3:19 Now repend of your sins and turn (turn around) to God (point to God), so that your sins may be wiped away (wipe hands together like you are wiping them off). NLT

Bible Story – Lost Son – Luke 15:11-24

Weekly Challenge – Back Track – Get a toy or game with multiple parts that can come apart.  Take a walk with your family through the house and drop pieces of the toy as you go.  After dropping some pieces, talk about times that you have disobeyed God.  Have each family member think back and tell about a time that they broke a rule or disobeyed.  As you tell about each time keep walking and dropping pieces.  When you have run out of pieces, have the family follow the trail of dropped pieces back to where you started.  Work as a family to put the toy back together.  As you work, remind them of the Bible Story about the son who returned to his father.  Tell your family that when we come back to God, He forgives us but our lives might not be exactly the same.  But with God’s love and forgiveness, we can start to put our life back together, just like we put this toy back together.  When we turn back to God, it doesn’t matter how far we have gone, or how many sins we have dropped along the way; God will forgive them all when we come back to him.

There are olots of exciting things happening in Kid’s ROCK every Sunday.  Let’s take a quick peek at what is on the horizon.

ROCK-A-Bye Babies – We recently moved to our new location and the volunteers have been using prayer cards.  When you drop your child off, make sure you let the nursery volunteers know what they can be praying for you and your family about.  They will pray for you during the week and then check back in with you on the following week.

Wee ROCK – We are starting a series entitled Jesus Helps Sick People.  The children will be learning from Luke 5:17-26 for the next four weeks.  Keep checking back for more information on the lesson’s they are learning.

ROCK Stars – ROCK Stars just started a new series entitled “Jesus Shows Me How to Act”.  Last week was their first lesson and they learned about The Farmer who sowed his seed.  They each planted a seed to take home.  We’d love to see pictures of those seeds as they sprout.  Bring pictures or the seeds in to show the teachers as they progress.

Club ROCK & Remix – Just finished a series about being Agents of Change.  They learned about how they can change their family, their community and their world.  This week we are starting a new series called Super U.  They will continue to build on the idea of being a world changer by learning how world changers think and live.  They will learn about Choosing wisely, Trusting God, Living life on purpose, hanging tough, and taking risk for God.  If Club ROCK kids have superhero costumes, let them wear them…we are going to have a blast learning that God is our SuperHero!

This Sunday, October 4th, Wee ROCK through Club ROCK will be finishing up their series.  Club ROCK has been studying the life of Joshua and Wee ROCK and ROCK Stars have been learning that God made families.

This coming Sunday Wee ROCK and ROCK Stars will be talking about what it means to be a part of God’s family and will be having a family celebration.  Club ROCK will be finishing up their Ten Hut series with the discussion about life decisions and how we each have a decision in life of whether to follow God’s direction for our life or choose our own way. 

Don’t let your kids miss out on what God is doing.  Encourage your children to invite a friend they have been praying for, make several trips to church if you have to in order to drop off all the kids you know that want to come, but don’t miss this opportunity for God to touch a child’s life!  Service starts at 9 & 11.  We look forwarding to seeing you then.
