THE CHALLENGE FROM YESTERDAY
Make a mini mountain from something, building blocks, playdoh, cake, pancakes… whatever - make signs to place on it that say HERE and HERE TOO. Put HERE at the top and HERE TOO at the bottom - as you look at them remember that Jesus is with you in the top of the mountain great moments and the bottom of the mountain rubbish moments too.
GET READY FOR MARCH 6 - WE ARE LIVE!!!
TO READ
Genesis 2:7-23
At the start of Lent we remember that we are humans made from the humus (earth), that we are created and here to care for and look after the earth and every other living creature that was created from the earth as well.
This is our faith tradition’s story of how the world and humans came to be. Other faith traditions and cultures have their stories too, this is one of ours.
TO REMEMBER
‘When you send Your Spirit, you create them. You give new life to the ground.’ Psalm 104:30
TALK ABOUT IT
If you could have any creature as a pet what would you choose?
What ways do you care of the earth?
PRAYER
Thank you Creator Godde for making such a fantastic world. We are all humans that you have made, remind us of our job to look after it all and help us with that. Amen.
THE GRAND PLAN FOR SUNDAY
Sign in as a family at the playground that you can see from the parking lot. Kids will get name stickers.
BridgeKIDS will spend the whole morning outside so dress appropriately for the weather - WARM/WATERPROOF LAYERS
There will be a story, craft activity, games, and a time for snack and reflection. Can you please send your kid with a hot drink in a flask that we can have at the story spot? It’ll help add a little cozy to the morning.
REGISTER YOUR KIDS
Please message Sarah if you are planning on being there this Sunday so we can make sure we have the appropriate number of team and all the bits and pieces we need. 604 615 9406

UNDER 3s
Two team members will be wearing red shirts that say, I WOULD LOVE TO HOLD YOUR BABY, and they truly would. They will be happy to have your under 3s to play with or walk around with during the gathering time. If you have a stroller with you that would be handy to use. Please make use of this team if you have littles.
They will get you if a diaper needs changing.
At the end you can find them downstairs to sign out your littles.
AGE 3 to Grade 1
This team will be wearing bright orange shirts, it’ll be hard to miss them! They will be on the playground with stickers ready to sign your kids in.
They will be with your children on the playground and outside under the covered area for story, crafts & snack.
Snacks will be provided (nut free with options for gluten free too). Please send your kid with a warm drink if they would like that or something else.
Find them outside after the gathering to pick up your children - either undercover or on the playground.
Grade 2 to Grade 5

Snacks will be provided (nut free with options for gluten free too). Please send your kid with a warm drink if they would like that or something else.
Find them outside after the gathering to pick up your children - either undercover or on the playground.
JOIN A TEAM
When we are live we need people to hang out with the children.
When we are online on zoom it is pretty much a one person job that me or Kylee or Alisa have been doing but when we are live we need more people-power.
If you are someone who enjoys children and wants to provide spaces for them to connect with God and know how loved they are then this job is for you. The bottom line for those who serve in bridgeKIDS during any gathering in person on online is that we are connection people not content providers. Your aim is to be present with the children and develop relationships with them. We want you to be an additional loving adult working in a supporting role alongside their parents.
If you would like to join us on a live Sunday morning and hang out with the children please sign up here!
