This Week's Passage: Matthew 25: 31-46
Memory Verses: Matt.25: 35-36
Beginning the first week of June, JesusKidz will have an opportunity to be a blessing to a young lady from the South American nation of Nicaragua named Fernanda. When I shared this with the young people a few weeks ago, they immediately began turning in money that would be going to help Fernanda and her family. All they wanted to know was how old she was (7), and would she be getting the money directly (yes).
If only we adults could be as willing as these young people are to help spread the love of God by giving some of what we've been given. I informed them that we will be sending Fernanda and her family $25 every month from now on, and they've already collected one-fifth of that amount. JesusKidz, for your faith, I'd like to say thank you and God bless you all from the bottom of our hearts. If you've read this passage, you can see how important helping those who can't help themselves is to God.
To JesusKidz parents, we'd like you to know that we appreciate you for allowing your children to be givers into the kingdom. Each month, we're asking for a minimum of $1 from each child ages 8-12. Whatever we collect over the monthly fee we're required to send to an orgnization called "People Helping People" will carry over to the next month. If you have any questions, please contact us at the church. Be on the lookout for a picture and updates of Fernanda.
God Bless, and talk to you all soon...

Honor Your Mother
This Week's Passage: Proverbs 31:10-31
Memory Verse: Prov. 31:28
This week, we're going to be celebrating Mother's Day. But when was the last time you truly did something special for your mother -- not because someone told you to, but because you KNOW she is awesome? This passage is a description of all the things a godly mother and wife does. Often, mom is the first to wake up and the last to go to bed. She makes great sacrifices for the family, sometimes going without so her children can have the best.
All this week, I encourage you, JesusKidz, to do special things for your mom or female guardian. Let her know that you appreciate her for who she is in your life. Pray for her, and ask God to continue to give her strength to do all the things she needs to do. On Saturday, May 8th, go with Mom to the Ravine Gardens for the special Mother's Day picnic that's going on just to let her know you love to spend time with her.
Then, on Sunday, May 9th, do your very best to help Dad make her day special. Show mom you love her after church, too -- let her put her feet up and wash the dishes for her so she doesn't have to lift a finger. That will really make mom feel special.
Before you go, drop a few lines telling us about what makes your mom special. Talk to you soon!
