So Much to Learn About the Bible...

...and who is better at telling us about God's Word than Mr. David and Mrs. Amelia?! Did we ever enjoy our time with them last night, too! It's always fun to learn about the Bible and the different stories found there! Mr. David and Mrs. Amelia also brought Table Games for us, (which we ALWAYS love), to play with following our "Bible Story Night" ! Afterwards, Mrs. Doris provided Cookies and Ice Cream Cups for us. A special thanks to her for helping to 'fill us up' before we headed home for bed! All in all, another FUN night at Kidz Konnect and now we just can't wait to see what's up for next week!!! Hey, our next post will be in MARCH! Yay... Spring is almost here! Have fun, ya'll!

Bienvenidos a Mexico...

...Welcome to Mexico!
This was how the children were greeted last night at Kidz Konnect. Mrs. Heather and Mr. Matt had an incredible evening of Spanish-flavored fun planned and the kids would like to say a very special, "Muchas Gracias" (Thank You), to both Mrs. Heather and Mr. Matt for a great time! Even though, Mr. Matt was 'called out' at the last minute to preach for the Prayer/Praise service, Mrs. Heather went through with their plans and it was "así que clase de ella" (so kind of her)!

This was our first 'Vision of Mission Kidz Konnect Talks' for the season, there are a couple more of these type sessions planned in the next few months and believe us, YOU don't want to miss ONE of them!!! Last night, we learned many fun facts about the country of Mexico and it's surrounding areas, played games that the children of Mexico play, ate Tortilla Chips with Salsa, we tried it all... EXCEPT the Fiesta (nap) and we didn't have ANYTHING to do with that! LOL

Next week, we have another fun and exciting evening planned for you, so PLEASE do NOT skip out and remember to BRING YOUR FRIENDS with you! We also have ANOTHER Party Night on schedule in March and will be posting more information very soon for you to see! Remember to be on the lookout for news concerning our upcoming Annual Easter Egg Hunt! It'll be here before you can say, 'Hippity Hoppity'!

Well, "hasta próximo tiempo" (until next time), take care and know that "Jesus le adora tanto" (Jesus loves you very much)!!!

Happy Valentine's Week

Kidz Konnect held their annual Valentine Party last night, Wednesday, February 11th! We had an incredible evening! The menu consisted of Deli-Style Pizza, an assortment of Chips and a variety of Cold Drinks. The children had a wild and roaring time, especially when Mrs. Doris showed them her "Pizza Clown Duo" Cut-Out, which she had brought in for a special photo op. They also each had a Valentine Card to fill out for someone special. After an exciting and quite loud game of "Floor Bingo", each child left the party, with a handful of Valentine Candy and a Heart Cookie in their hand with a promise to come back and see what was to happen at Southside this coming Sunday.

A GREAT BIG HUGE Thank You to every adult who helped before, during and after the Party to make it such a raging success.......... we couldn't have made it without Y-O-U!!!

The First Movie Night of 2009

Last night we all gathered with heart-shaped chocolate cupcakes from 'Little Debbie' and curious minds to watch our First Movie of 2009. We have Christian "Movie Nights" scheduled once per month through May. Along with other once a month adventures such as, "Kidz Konnect Kaleidoscope of Fun Nights" (which include everything from Kidz Konnect Vision of Misssion Talks to Kidz Konnect Kraft Nights) with a Party Night thrown in from time to time!
For our first Movie Night of this year, we chose Max Lucado's Hermie & Friends: "To Share or NUT to Share" (By Max Lucado)

From the series that brought us the #1 DVD/Video of 2005 in Christian retail, this particular one is a fun story about sharing with one another, from a Biblical standpoint. Here is a brief overview of "To Share or NUT to Share":
The "garden" literally goes 'nuts' when a shortage of nuts causes panic, especially with the Garden Talent Show & Tell starting the next day. And wouldn't you know it --- everyone's talent involves a NUT. With only one nut left in the entire garden, friends turn into enemies as it's a mad dash to see who grabs the last, elusive nut. To remain friends and to save the show, the bugs must learn to share. What a great lesson was learned by us all!

HEY, KIDS!!! Remember, our annual Valentine Party is on schedule for this coming Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Please bring your friends for a fun time together. Don't forget to tell someone you LOVE them during this Season of Valentine-Love, too!!!

A Bit of A Blizzard?

Well, as you're now aware our "Kidz Konnect Kaleidoscope of Fun", planned for last night was cancelled due to the BIG snowstorm that hit Indy yesterday!We will put it back on our calendar in late summer, though.
Weather permitting, we will begin a NEW Kidz Konnect schedule next Wednesday night, which will carry out until the end of May. We will then 'open' King's Kidz Klub for the rest of the summer. (Every Wednesday at 7PM) Beginning again in September we will close the 'Klub' to hold our Kidz Konnect meetings each Wednesday evening.
Being as most of you are out of school for snow days, we know you're having lots of fun sledding, skating, etc. but, be sure to stay safe! Dress warm, take your vitamins and drink plenty of warm fluids!
We HOPE to see you at Church on Sunday... that is as long as Indy doesn't get 'hit' with more of this white stuff!!! Take care.

"Southside's Super Servant" Night Was a Great Success!

A special thank you to every child and adult who helped with our "Southside's Super Servant" Night, last evening! It was a great success... with over 90 people in attendance. (We missed the Teen Dept. being with us because they had a prior engagement... maybe next time, guys!?)
Our 'chat' for the evening (AKA 'lesson'), talked about ways to become a servant to others, just as Jesus was and then in turn, we 'served' many of the congregation a special dessert following the regular Wednesday night activities. We made an assembly line and 'created' individual desserts made of cherry cake doughnuts, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, rainbow sprinkles and each one was topped with a cherry! YUMMY! The children enjoyed serving the adults and there's not much doubt, that the adults had fun being 'served'... for a change!
Thanks, again to everyone who took part and we're looking forward to next weeks activity, "Kidz Konnect Kaleidoscope of Fun", with Mrs. Mari.

Remember, our Valentine Party is coming up on Wednesday, February 11th (7pm) and kids, please let your parents know that we are in search of adult volunteers to aide in 'security' for the event.
Stay warm and be on the lookout for good ole' "Groundhog Day" on Feb. 2nd... hopefully he'll let us know that Spring is just around the bend!

ATTENTION KIDS:

There has been a change of plans... Kidz Konnect will host "SOUTHSIDE'S SUPER SERVANT" Night TONIGHT, Wednesday January 21st!!! You'll NOT want to miss out on learning what it means to be a 'servant' like Jesus and 'serving' the congregation following our meeting. Invite your family to join us at 8:00p.m. for dessert.

SNOW-SNOW-SNOW

COLD - COLD - COLD

Due to the weather conditions, our Wednesday evening activities were called off. Kidz Konnect was to host "Southide's Super Servant" Night, that evening. We have post-poned this particular event for two weeks... making the date, Wednesday the 28th.

Next week, weather permitting, Mrs. Mari has an exciting night planned for us and you'll NOT want to miss it!!! As usual, it begins at 7p.m.

Looking ahead, Mrs. Shelly and Mrs. Kathy are preparing for the 2009 Kidz Konnect Valentine Party. It is scheduled for Wednesday, February 11th, also at 7p.m.

Stay warm and we'll look for YOU this Sunday... once again, weather permitting! Aren't you excited for Spring and WARMER WEATHER to get here???
