November Children’s Ministry
Newsletter 2024
Hello Heritage KIDS and Families!
We have finally made it to November! October brought us through its joys and challenges, but we made it to the end. We appreciate all of the help and love given to our Pumpkin Patch. This month we are getting excited to present our 2024 Fall Fest! As we sadly had to cancel Pumpkin Palooza to account for the weather, we have decided to hold a Fall Fest on November 17th. It will include exciting activities such as bounce houses, face painting, crafts, games and our own Chili Cook-Off! If you would like to attend you can RSVP here. We will also need volunteer’s to make this Fall Fest the best it can be. If you are available to volunteer please sign up here.
This month we are learning the value of God's generosity and His greatest gift to us, the gift of Jesus. We will be diving into different parts of the Bible and seeing how we can share God’s generosity in our own lives. I am excited to hear our students' thoughts and ideas on how they can be generous to those around them. I have already seen so much around Heritage, we all lead with our hearts and share what we have which is wonderful to witness and teach.

Heritage Little KIDS Curriculum (Nursery and Preschool)
THEME
Puzzle Pieces
SERIES DESCRIPTION
It’s easy to say that we trust God until we have to really trust God. It’s during these faith-testing times that we get to choose between doing things our way or waiting for God to do things God’s way. Trusting that God’s got it will always be the best way. Why? Because God’s got it.
CORE INSIGHT
God’s Son/ Faith
BOTTOM LINE
God’s got it.
Week One: Burning Bush (Exodus 3:1-18; 6:11; Psalm 118:7)
Week Two: Pillars of Cloud and Fire (Exodus 13:3-4, 21-22)
Week Three: Elijah and the Widow* (1 Kings 17:1-16)
Week Four: King Hezekiah Prays to God (Isaiah 37:14-20, 35; 38:1-6, 20)
