Berean Kids Weekly Update | Berean Baptist Church

What's Happening in BK: September 30 - October 6

Wednesday (Grade K - 5)
6:30 - 8:00 pm

We begin a new unit called Switch It Up - I Am Forgiven with the lesson "I Need to be Forgiven" (The Bronze Snake) from Numbers 21:4-9. Kids will learn that God’s people (the Israelites) sinned against God. God punished their sin by sending poisonous snakes, but he also provided a way for them to be healed. Kids will learn that our sin means we need to be forgiven, but God loves us so much that he sent Jesus to rescue us from our sin.

Unit Memory Verse: "For I will forgive their wrongdoing..." (Hebrews 8:12a).

Café Meal (The Café is open from 5:15 - 6:30 pm.): The Berean Café is open on Wednesday nights, offering café drinks and food for purchase. Skip the drive-thru and take advantage of the meal that Berean provides! This Wednesday night's menu options: brats with baked beans & chips, loaded baked potato soup, chicken strips, crispy chicken garden salad, dinner salad, deli sandwiches, pizza, nachos, and pretzels.

Sunday (Birth - Grade 5)
9 AM & 11 AM

We continue in the unit called Masterpiece with the lesson "The Birth of Moses" from Genesis 25:24-34; 27-28. Kids will learn about God's plan to save a baby named Moses so that years later, he would be used by God to set his people, the Israelites, free from slavery in Egypt. Jesus was rescued from Herod as a baby so he could grow up and rescue us from our sin. God’s plan was for Jesus to die on the cross to make a way for us to be forgiven and to live with him forever. God’s hope is unstoppable!

Unit Memory Verse: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope" (Romans 15:13).
