KidzPointe- A Quick Look at the Weekend Ahead!
Hiz Neighborhood:
This week in Hiz Neighborhood kids will take a look at Matthew 4:19 where Jesus called the first two disciples and said to them; “Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men”.  The kids will be creating items and playing games that will complement our fishing series {Deadliest Catch}.  All games and crafts will coincide with fish and the art of fishing.

Hiz Backyard and Hiz Playground:
Basic Truth: God loves me.
Key Question: Are you ever really alone?
Bottom Line: God is always with me.
Memory Verse: "God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 NLT
Bible Story Focus: God is with me when I’m afraid.  Moses and the Burning Bush—Exodus 3:1—4:17
