Your Love Is Deep

Kings Kidz

Exciting news!

The Children will minister to the congregation in song for Youth Impact Sunday, November 22. (EVERYONE worships together in the main sanctuary--children, youth, and adults.)

Immediately after the sermon, children should gather in the Parent Room (the small enclosed family area within the sanctuary).

**The children will sing immediately after altar call, just before offering is taken. **

WANT TO PRACTICE AT HOME?
They will sing Your Love is Deep (which Jessica has adapted from Jami Smith's original version. If you google the song or download an MP3 or CD version, note the kids are singing the verse and bridge only. In other words the A and C section on the music (see lyrics below). Instead of the kids singing the other lyrics have them practice waving their hands in the air side to side to praise God.

Let the kids teach you the arm and hand movements. If they've forgotten, don't worry, we'll review just before they go on stage.

Lyrics:
Your love is Deep
Your love is High
Your love is Long
Your love is wide
(repeat 4 times)

Who can separate us?
Who can separate us from His love?
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can separate us from his love
(2x)

Helping and Helpers (November 8)


Young People's Division (YPD) themed Sunday
Read the Lord's Prayer (book).

We talked about helping and helpers. This served as an introduction to the YPD work of missionaries- Missionaries are helpers- some in foreign countries, some right here at home and some right here at Bethel.

In the AME Church the youngest members of the YPD are “Sunbeams”. We talked about the attributes of Sunbeams- they are warm and make you happy.

We learned the song “Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam."

We read a story about helping from the children’s devotion book. We talked about ways we can help and made Thanksgiving cards to go along with the Thanksgiving baskets the Missionaries are preparing for needy families. We also made a card to thank Bro. Joe for all of his hard work over the years at Bethel.

The children were asked to bring a can of cranberry sauce next Sunday (Nov 15) to contribute to the Thanksgiving baskets.

Kings Kidz Rehearsal (with Miss Jessica)
Children learned Your Love is Deep (adapted from Jami Smith's original version) which they will sing during Youth Impact Sunday on November 22, 2009.

We will also have a mini recital immediately at the end of service (for parents) on Nov 15 in the Fellowship Hall. This will give children the opportunity to sing the song they've learned before a small, friendly audience, as practice for singing the following week in the main sanctuary.

Lyrics:
Your love is Deep
Your love is High
Your love is Long
Your love is wide
(repeat 4 times)

Who can separate us?
Who can separate us from His love?
Nothing can separate us
Nothing can separate us from his love

First Sundays (in the main sanctuary)

No Children's Worship on First Sundays at Bethel. Instead, families (and the entire congregation) worship together in the main sanctuary for Communion Sunday.

Be blessed!
