Hello Foothills UMC KidsConnect families.
​We're glad you're here!

Until we can meet in person, let's stay connected electronically.  We know this is not a substitute for connecting in person, but we hope it will help you feel connected until we can meet in person again.

Lent Adventures 2021!

Lent is the period of 40 days (plus Sundays) leading up to Easter. Just as Advent is a season that prepares us for Christmas, Lent prepares us for Easter.

This booklet was created to guide your family on your journey to Easter. We hope that daily readings, prayers and activities will nourish your household and help you all follow Jesus more closely in 2021 and beyond.

The first activity starts Tuesday, February 16 (Shrove Tuesday) -- pancakes for dinner!!

If you'd like us to mail you the Lent Adventures packet, send an email to lisastewart@ foothillsumc.org.

Are your kids "zoomed out"? Try having them "hang out with" Ms. Lisa via a pre-recorded video to hear the weekly Bible story.

Ms. Lisa will show the Bible story video, ask some questions and share a music video, too. 

The weekly Playlister links are emailed on Sunday mornings and can be found here.

Babies & Toddlers & Preschoolers
Here are weekly stories for you to read to your preschooler, toddler or infant. We encourage you to get a picture Bible and read a story at bedtime to create a daily habit of talking to and about God. We like "Spark Story Bible" by Patti Thisted Arthur and "The Toddlers Bible" by V. Gilbert Beers.

Breath Prayer
A spiritual practice is an activity that turns our attention towards having an encounter with the Divine. They are practices geared towards making us aware of God's loving presence.

​Practices include prayer, meditation, worship, reading and service to others.


Try adding this "breath prayer" to your spiritual practice.

Mission Possible!

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to spread the love of Christ in real and practical ways. 

Download the Mission Possible sheets from the “envelope” on this website.

​You have the entire month of August to complete your mission, but really, you can do them any time during the year!
