Important Notes for Parents Concerning Wednesday Programming:

  1. Once your child commits to a class, he or she will stay in that class for the semester.
  2. All children will be encouraged to memorize scripture during the week. We ask that parents support their children in their efforts. Small prizes will be awarded to encourage memorization and other disciplines, but the main goal is for children to hide God's Word in their hearts!

 

 

 


Easter: CSI Jerusalem
 

  We will have a exciting investigation of the death and resurrection of Christ this Easter, April 7 & 8.   

 Here is a sneak preview of what to expect: 

 

In the Apex foyer you can get a child safety kit from the Sheriff's Dept.

Inside the Apex visit the science labs listed below. 

Toxicology Lab: "All Things New"

                        Purpose: Lab demonstrates how God can take something like sin in or lives and forgive us (initially by his death on the cross) and make us something new and beautiful.

 

Ballistics Lab: "Jesus as our Target (focus)"

                        Purpose: Lab demonstrates how hard things can be when our focus is not on God yet how simple tasks/life is when God is our singular focus

                      

 Forensics Lab: "Go into all the World"

            Purpose: The colors from the brown M&M spread onto the coffee filter symbolically just like we as individuals should spread out into the the world to spread the good news about Jesus-He's ALIVE!!

 Evidence Locker Lab: "Have You Seen Him?"

            Purpose: This lab demos the significance of Jesus being missing from the tomb on the third day. Now we (only kinda-sorta of course) know how Mary Magdeline and Mary Jesus's mom felt when he wasn't even there!

           

GOAL: Children are to figure out what is missing from the three "crime scenes"

 

            Break Room: "The Snack Lab"

                        Purpose: To nourish the children

 

Then experience exciting worship and scientific teaching!

 

 

I still need a few volunteers for Easter and would love to have your help:))

The children are in need of 3 Saturday night teachers, 2 Sunday 11am teachers and youth assistants.  Please let me know if you are interested in investing in the lives  of these children.

You will get paid in hugs, laughter, and high fives, but the eternal rewards of leading a child to Christ are far greater.
