We have an exciting Summer Series for Kids Church!
We know summer is busy and we all want to get vacations, camping, etc. in while the sun is out, so, don't forget to bring your kids, friends & neighbors kids to OC Kids Church this summer!
It is going to be amazing! Don't miss out on ...
Lesson 1 - The Water into Wine (John 2:1-11)
The focus of the lesson is to show kids that Jesus meets small needs
just like He meets big needs. They can take any problem to Him.
Lesson 2 - A Dad Who Asked Jesus for Help (John 4:46-54)
In this lesson about the healing of the nobleman’s son, kids
learn that faith is believing in what they can’t see! They also
learn that we live by faith as we are obedient to what God tells us to do.
Lesson 3 - Jesus Heals a Man at the Pool (John 5:1-15)
In this lesson, Jesus healed a man who couldn’t walk.
The point of the lesson is that we can look to Jesus to help us
with the problems we have in life.
Lesson 4 - Jesus Feeds the 5,000 (John 6:1-14)
In this lesson, children are taught to give God what they
have. Every talent, ability and skill should be used for Him.
Lesson 5 - Jesus Calms the Storm (John 6:15-24)
In this lesson kids learn that Jesus can help them with their fears too.
Lesson 6 - Peter Walks on the Water (Matthew 14:22-33)
This lesson is about the famous story of Peter walking on the water
to meet Jesus. It reminds the kids that sometimes God asks them to do
things that seem impossible. Just like Peter they must act by faith!
The secret to doing impossible things is to keep your eyes on Jesus.
Lesson 7 - Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind (John 9)
The point of the lesson is that kids need to share what they know.
They will be challenged to share their faith with others.
Lesson 8 - The Leper Who Said Thank You (Luke 17:11-19)
Kids will be challenged to consider the many things God has given them.
They will then learn to thank God for what He has given them and done for them.
New Series in May
Week 1
Title: No ‘Idol’ Time Allowed
Text: Exodus 19 - 20:5
Main Point: God deserves to be #1 in my life
Lesson Overview: Who doesn’t want to be #1? From an early age, being the best or first in games, sports, academics or other skills are important to kids and in reality, adults! The focus of this lesson is about being #1. Not me, not a pro athlete, musician, actor or entertainer of any kind. The number one slot belongs to God alone! God is worthy of being first in our lives even above our selves. When we put God first, everything else falls into place.
Week 2
Title: Could someone please turn down the heat?
Main Point: It’s safe to put God first!
Text: Daniel 3:1-30
Week 3
Title: Can somebody please Baal me out?
Main Point: When I’m alone I will still put God first.
Text: 1 Kings
Lesson Overview: Being alone is no fun sometimes, particularly for a child. The odds certainly were not in Elijah’s favor as he stood before the king and the 450 prophets of Baal as he challenged the people to put Baal or God first. Wouldn’t you like to know what he was thinking and feeling as he called down fire from Heaven! In a fun way this lesson encourages the kids to put God first even when they are alone.
Week 4
Title: I’m Achan to put God first!
Main Point – Don’t put anything in front of God.
Text: Joshua 7

Easter Family Service
So I can barely contain my excitement for next week! Do you know what I'm looking forward to?
One of my three favorite holidays is this coming Sunday and OC kids are ministering in our Raster Family Service! You do not want to miss it! Sunday, April 24th @10AM.
We just had our special kids church Easter service which, focused on remembering Jesus. Reminding the kids, leaders & myself why Easter is the most humbling, amazing, love filled holiday. From helping me tell the Easter story to nailing their names to the cross & having communion together, I saw kids have a deeper understanding of the love & sacrifice. Our kids are really tender and growing I can see every week. This week was no exception.
One of the kids said after service yesterday, "I cried when you told me I was the reason Jesus died on the cross. I'm that special? Wow! No wonder you always say God loves me & has a plan for me. Hey, next week we get to tell all the people in church that God did that for them, huh?" Tears welled up in my eyes as I said you are so right. I told him I cry when I am reminded how much God loves me too!
Wow! That's what it's about right?
Love those OC kids! God help me disciple, mentor and pour myself into their lives for you!

Fireballs February 13
This lesson teaches kids about Atomic Fireballs and will learn to go to God for courage and faith. The Bible story will come from the time David was facing Goliath. Everyone was looking at him and thinking he looked too wimpy, but David had courage and faith that God would see him through.
Twix February 20
Twix bars stick together all the way from the chocolate factory to your hands! In this lesson, kids learn about friendship by looking at the lives of David and Jonathan. These two guys stuck together through good times and bad. Kids are encouraged be a “stick-together” friend and more importantly to know Jesus - the best friend ever.
Dum Dums February 27
This lesson is about Dum Dum Pops and respecting authority. The lesson comes from the time Saul was chasing David. Saul was out to kill David. David even had several good opportunities to kill Saul, but he chose not to because he respected him as God’s anointed leader. Kids will learn that respect for our leaders is important.
Skittles March 6
In this lesson kids learn about King Saul’s death and David’s new position as king. Using the rainbow-colors found in Skittles candy, the kids are reminded that God always keeps his promises. He kept his promise to David that he would be king and He still keeps His promises today.
Jawbreakers March 13th
This lesson is about telling God you’re sorry even when it’s hard to do.David was a man after God’s own heart even though he wasn’t perfect. This lesson will teach kids that God always forgives them when they come to him and say they are sorry.
