Worship:

Engaging in praise and worship helps us prepare our hearts to hear from God. It is also an important way we can give God glory and focus on who He is. At NCC Kids, we start our Sunday experience with singing and dancing, bringing a joyful sound unto the Lord. 

You can access this week’s worship song videos here. Ask your child to help you learn the motions so you can follow along!

Story:

Each week at NCC Kids, our Preschool kids view a new Bible story video. Every month there is a theme that ties the Bible stories together week to week. You can access this week’s Bible story videos here. 

This month’s Preschool theme is Follow the Leader. 

Activities:

For this week’s Preschool activity, download the file here to print at home. 

Talk to your child about this week’s story as they color the Bible scene from Matthew 9. Ask your child how they can follow Jesus, the leader.

Parent Resources:

As parents, you have the important role of guiding your child through new situations and challenging seasons, whether it be personal situations or those on a global scale. In addition to the Sunday NCC Kids online experience, we hope to provide you with resources to support parents during this season. Here are a few resources from trusted ministry partners that we hope you find valuable:

Above all, please take care of yourself and your family. For many, the spread of this virus has caused fear and anxiety. We know that God has given us a spirit of love, not fear. Let’s work together to serve our church family and community in a way that demonstrates trust in a God who is in control. Let’s pray together for healing for those who are infected and affected; let’s pray together for those who are fearful or feel alone through this. Let's be a light in the midst of darkness, a beacon of hope in the midst of distress, and a source of service and sacrifice for the sake of the world.
