Elementary October Series - The Safe Place
In October, school is well underway, and kids are facing down big things: tests and homework. Sports competitions. Finding their place in friend groups. Maybe even standing up to a bully. This world can be a dark place, and kids already know that. G.K. Chesterton, who wrote both Christian apologetics and fiction, once said, “Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.” Every good story is a reflection of the one true story, God’s Story, which affirms for kids and adults alike that we’re in a war—but that the battle has already been won. In the end, our enemy’s defeat is certain!
This month, we want to equip kids to understand that no matter what they face, God is fighting with them and for them. Jesus wins! And in the end, everything will be made right, even if it’s not our timeline. With this truth in mind, we can always find strength and courage in God! Our theme for the month helps kids discover THE SAFE PLACE: God is stronger than anyone or anything.
Check out our Elementary Overview to see what your elementary student will be learning this month!
Worship
This month, your elementary student will be singing along to the tune "Hope Is Alive". Our CedarCreek Kids worship songs can be found on the "Watch" section of our app and on the CedarCreek Kids Worship Spotify playlist. Grab it for your home or car!
Memory Verse
Each month your elementary student memorizes scripture to know God more. You can help them!
"God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble." Psalm 46:1
