Physical Gatherings
To join us Sunday's at 9:30 at the Lifezone campus, or one of two home groups, please register online.
KidsLife
The KidsLife team is sending out weekly emails with lessons - "KidsLife @ Home" (for primary school kids) and "KidsLife Junior @ Home" (for preschoolers) - that parents can use to teach and have fun learning with their kids. They include the Big Lesson for the day, the Big Word (memory verse they can learn), a link and/or reference to the Bible Story for the day, related activity and craft ideas, and discussion points for families to use. We encourage families to email or share on the KidsLife Lifezone Facebook page what they are getting up to, crafts they make, and what they are learning.
Daily "Fun Things To Do" and "Ways to Share Love, Kindness, and Joy" are also being put up on the Facebook page for parents and kids to do. We encourage kids and families to share what they have been doing with us for this too! We would love to reward their efforts so if kids learn the Big Word, get into making a craft, can message us what has really impacted them or their family from the lesson, or do something suggested on the "Ways to Share Love, Kindness ,and Joy" list, they will earn clicks on their prize cards!
We would love to get our KidsLife Senior kids (Year 6s), together "virtually" and get to know you each a bit better. So look out for emails that have some more info about our virtual hangout!
If your kids need some extra encouraging support during this time, please get in touch with Kylie by either emailing her or through the Facebook page. Don't forget to follow to the KidsLife Lifezone Facebook page to keep up to date and stay connected.
The KidsLife team is continuing to connect with your children throughout the week via email, Facebook, and Zoom. We encourage families to email or share on the KidsLife Lifezone Facebook page what they are getting up to, crafts they make, and what they are learning.
