Happy April!

This month we are continuing to learn from Jesus and his ministry on earth. This month our focus is on how we can live our lives in rhythm with Jesus. There are about a trillion things that every single day that try to grab our attention. We have to be intentional about spending time with Jesus, remembering and reflecting on what He's done for us, and living our lives to glorify Him.

How are you living your life to glorify Jesus? Is your life clearly marked by spending time with Him. How would you feel if your kids had the same prayer life as you? Would you feel content or desire for it to be better? As your children are learning about what it looks like to follow Jesus, consider your own walk of faith.

Your child's greatest leader in discipleship is YOU. 

Have a suggestion on how we can serve & partner with our families? 

We'd love to hear from you! Feel free to reach out (ashley@keystonechurch.us).

RISE & SHINE: A 5-WEEK SERIES FROM THE NEW TESTAMENT ON EASTER

SERIES OVERVIEW:

On a farm, life has a daily rhythm (for plants, animals, and people, too). “Life” is what this series is all about, because we’re talking about Easter and Jesus’ triumph over death! In this five-week series, kids will explore the stories leading up to and following Easter Sunday. Together, they’ll discover we can stick with Jesus even when our days are dark, and that because Jesus is alive, we can spend our days meeting with him, trusting he’s there for us, and sharing his love — not just today, but every day!

We are so excited for Easter Sunday and we hope to see each and every one of you there!!

We will have classes for birth-fifth grade open. We will have a blast celebrating our Savior. Between services we are having a petting zoo with several different farm animals to go along with our Rise & Shine theme for the month of April. 

You won't want to miss it!

REGISTRATION IS OPEN!

Our Deep Sea VBS will be June 22nd-24th. Our 3 year old through 1st graders will be diving deep into growing their faith!

Whether your kids have been attending church regularly or they’re brand new to the church scene, their faith is still very young. As a grown-up who’s been following Jesus for a while, you’ve probably figured out a few ways to grow spiritually. The kids you’re leading, on the other hand, aren’t grown-ups, so they might need a little help from you to figure out how, exactly, to grow spiritually. So, what should spiritual growth look like for a kid? We like to think about it in terms of four spiritual habits. To help a kid’s faith grow deeper, encourage them to spend time with God, spend time with others, use their gifts, and share their story.

We will be touching on all four of these topics in a very practical and, of course, engaging way during VBS 2023. We hope to see you there.

On the Case - Kids Camp Theme

Growing spiritually doesn’t have to be an unsolved mystery! Our 2nd-5th graders will take a three-day journey as kid detectives where they dig into a few of Jesus’ parables to solve the mysteries of how to grow their faith, how to care for, serve, and love others. They’ll discover that the answers have been there all along: spend time with God, spend time with others, use your gifts, and share your story.

Summertime Playgroups!

This summer we are doing something a little bit different.

Instead of Midweek Mamas, we are hosting summertime playgroups. These groups with be the 1st and 3rd Friday of every summer month (June-August). These will be at different parks & splash pads and the meeting location will be communicated the Wednesday before the meet-up. These playgroups are for any and all families to join. You can sign up whether you'll come to all of the groups or just one or two. It's an easy way to plan a fun outing for the kids while connecting with other families!
