CCW Kids Weekly Update

Week 4: What We're Learning! 

Hey parents! Take a look at what CCW Kids will be learning this week:

Elisha is Surrounded (2 Kings 6:8-23)
Brite Idea: God is working, even when we don’t see it.
This Month’s Biblical Theme: God is with us.

After the kingdom was divided, Israel and Judah had many kings, most of whom ignored God. The Syrian king sought to capture Elisha, sending a large army to Dothan. Elisha’s servant was afraid, but Elisha prayed for God to open his eyes. The servant saw God’s army in the mountains. Elisha then prayed for the Syrian soldiers' blindness and led them to Samaria, where he advised the king to spare them and host a feast instead.

Elisha’s servant felt overwhelmed by the surrounding army until God opened his eyes and he could see God’s chariots of fire. There are many times in life when we may feel surrounded and defeated. In Ephesians 1:18, Paul said he prayed that the people would have the eyes of their hearts enlightened—or opened—so that they could see the hope they have in Jesus. Because Jesus defeated death and made a way for us to be made right with God forever, we are never alone. He gives us hope that is greater than every circumstance.

Monthly Memory Verse: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)

Reminder: NO midweek service next week (Thanksgiving week) and we will have a family style worship service on Sunday, November 30th. (K-5th will be in adult service).
