FOOTHILLS UMC KIDSCONNECT

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.

KidsConnect Playlister with Ms. Lisa

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.

Zoom with KidsConnect on Sundays!

9:30am-10am
Time Needed: 30 Minutes.
Join Ms. Lisa, Ms. Jen, and your KidsConnect leaders on zoom! Say hello, watch the KidsConnect Bible message video together, do a fun activity to reinforce the Bible message, and share "hey God / yay God" prayer requests. Email lisastewart@foothillsumc.org for info.

KidsConnect @ Home

Check out the weekly KidsConnect video message and activity! If you can't zoom on Sundays with KidsConnect, we give you the video and activity for you to do at home as a family, including an easy-to-use "what to say and what to do" script. There's an activity for younger elementary and an activity for older elementary age kids.

Time Needed: 15 Minutes

Family Experience (Fx) - April

Each month we are providing fun activities for you to do as a family. Each Fx is full of fun and is very simple. You'll find conversation starters, service projects, an activity, and more fun surprises!

In April, we are focusing on our amazing planet and how we can show our love to God by caring for it. We hope your family will enjoy the activities and spending time being grateful for God's creation.

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!
