Our definition of forgiveness is deciding that someone who has wronged you doesn't have to pay. It is easy to hold grudges and resent people that have done you wrong, no matter your age. It's alot like carry around a bucket full of rocks. The bucket gets heavier and heavier. This Sunday we are going to talk about how Joseph forgave his brothers for selling him into slavery. It's important for your child to learn the importance of forgiveness early. Can't wait to see you!Rich Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16039385053065323561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106093497127712200.post-8613302738779062792011-05-02T14:19:00.002-05:002011-05-02T14:20:50.728-05:00Gordo Brings A Surprise to KidzStuff LIVE<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFChfiHHawGaqfskqif1Tc3-Mg1GOeV9pEmLFeUrkIMKL2jdUop3aDEK3PHZAXyRQx_rvep3353biWP7OBkZMLw2TJWZa6qnP6UaJKOXhHQwb0skZcRJUSG2B9ajioTKV-q8kKzkMiOllX/s1600/gordo+and+dog.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFChfiHHawGaqfskqif1Tc3-Mg1GOeV9pEmLFeUrkIMKL2jdUop3aDEK3PHZAXyRQx_rvep3353biWP7OBkZMLw2TJWZa6qnP6UaJKOXhHQwb0skZcRJUSG2B9ajioTKV-q8kKzkMiOllX/s320/gordo+and+dog.JPG" width="239" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ask anyone from an older generation, and they’re likely to say that this generation has lost a sense of respect for authority. Is the respect we should have determined by culture, or is it a timeless principle God has defined for us? Boiled down, respect means showing others they are important by what you say and do. Like any other virtue, God created respect and models it for us. In more ways than we can name, God continuously shows us how important we are to Him even when we’ve done nothing to deserve it. This week’s lesson pointed out how God has placed leaders for our good and that there are benefits and consequences of the respect we have for those over us.</div><br />
<br />
At home activities to reinforce our “Who’s the Boss” lesson…<br />
<br />
Top Ten- While in the car, or enjoying an evening on the deck, or around the dinner table; come up with a Top Ten list of specific people that God has place in your child’s life that he/she should respect. Talk about specific ways they can show that person respect over the next week.<br />
<br />
Chain Reaction- Open ended conversation prompts to help your child understand that they benefit from showing respect for a leader… It can start a chain reaction of respect. Ask them, how might you benefit when you show respect to a parent? (more privileges, better environment because the parents are happier, better relationship with parents) A babysitter? (say nice things about you to your parents. You may get to choose what to do during your time together.) A coach? (Get more playing time, get to lead the team, the coach says nice things about you to your parent)<br />
<br />
Interview a Leader- Read Luke 6:31 first. Ask your child these questions before they begin their interview of someone else: Are you a leader? Are you in charge of anything at home, school, or somewhere else? Do other kids ever want to do what you’re doing? If so, you may already be a leader. But even if you don’t think you’re a leader yet, you want to be some day, right? God wants you to treat your leaders like you’d want to be treated.<br />
<br />
So, how do you want to be treated as a leader? Interview someone in charge, like a parent or teacher, to get some ideas. Take notes and listen closely to their advice on what makes them a good leader. Here are some questions you could ask as you are interviewing: What do you want people to learn from you as a leader? How did you learn to lead the way you do? What are the three most important ways you want people to treat you as a leader?<br />
<br />
Sweet and Simple- For a bedtime devotional, read last Sunday’s Bible story together. Romans 13:1-7 <br />
<br />
Because God treats us with respect, He wants us to live respectfully, and that involves showing respect for the people in charge. When we do, it can start a chain reaction of respect. Even better, it spotlights our respect for GodRich Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16039385053065323561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106093497127712200.post-83158213133316238242010-09-02T15:41:00.000-05:002010-09-02T15:41:45.415-05:00At Home Stuff August 29<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSFdepC9WsUoQpI6rAa23x1AnkI7O01w30DMkOG0fXBGtBf1ltnmZ2Xj0tA_Nuc1NYbq4BDwoep5WzXDB2SUx8gizu7odKuKA_w14ZiuCPn6fZyhyphenhyphenztzgPf12iMf-U7GflrOIRAkhCKZA/s1600/athome+stuff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieSFdepC9WsUoQpI6rAa23x1AnkI7O01w30DMkOG0fXBGtBf1ltnmZ2Xj0tA_Nuc1NYbq4BDwoep5WzXDB2SUx8gizu7odKuKA_w14ZiuCPn6fZyhyphenhyphenztzgPf12iMf-U7GflrOIRAkhCKZA/s320/athome+stuff.jpg" /></a></div>Are you looking for opportunities to talk with your kids about what they learned at church this past Sunday? Check it out…<br />
<br />
<br />
-What did they learn? Last week was the fifth week of the month so we had an opportunity to take a break from the norm and focus on something a bit different: a “faith skill”. God wants us to think about true, noble, and right things because what goes in comes out in our words and actions. Junk in…junk out…<br />
<br />
-Drawing/ Cartoons; Helping them understand the Bible verse- The Bible verse this week was kind of tricky and hard for kids to understand because of the big words. Philippians 4:8 “Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. TRY THIS…Briefly talk about the key words in the verse: noble (to have very good qualities); pure (to be free from everything that might injure or lower the quality) lovely (very pleasing); admirable (highly thought of). Assign a word to each family member and have them draw a picture or cartoon about the word. Share when finished.<br />
<br />
-Curl up with them and have some God Time- Read Luke 6:31 together. Use this summary to talk about the verse: Think about what God says and it’ll change your ACTIONS. Sometimes the world doesn’t treat people God’s way. (revenge, hatred, grudges) and it causes nothing but trouble. Don’t think like the world. Together, brainstorm words that reflect how we should treat others (care, love, respect, generous, kind, help, etc…). <br />
<br />
-Around the dinner table or in the car… Ask each member in your family to name one thing that their minds were focused on that day. Was it TV, recess, bills to be paid, stress at work, a relationship with a friend or coworker, homework? Your child’s response will give you insight on where your child’s thoughts were for the day and allow you the perfect opportunity to shed the light of Jesus on issues in their life. Meet them where they are. The key principle here is CONVERSATION. Kids need it. Your child will learn more from you if you are a conversation PARTNER rather than just a conversation director. <br />
<br />
Let us live so that when our children think of the character traits of Philippians 4:8, they think of us; their parentsRich Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16039385053065323561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106093497127712200.post-43023416006754390272010-08-07T22:52:00.000-05:002010-08-07T22:52:57.936-05:00Kickoff the fall with B2B beginning on August 15Two big Sundays-- Back 2 Back! <br />
<br />
<strong>Sunday, August 15 will be <span style="color: red;">Multi</span><span style="color: yellow;">-</span><span style="color: lime;">Colored</span> <span style="color: cyan;">Mania</span> <span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Madness</span></strong>.

What is “<span style="color: red;">Multi</span><span style="color: yellow;">-</span><span style="color: lime;">Colored </span><span style="color: cyan;">Mania</span> <span style="color: magenta;">Madness</span>? It’s time to create some energy Multi-Colored Mania Madnessand have some fun! Here is the challenge for all kiddos entering grades K-5…How many colors and patterns can you wear to “The Neighborhood” next Sunday? Can you wear 20 or more colors or patterns? The ideas are endless! Camouflage pants? Shirt with stripes or polka dots? Plaid? Paisley? Prints? How about belts, jewelry, neck ties, and all accessories? Once you layer all the crazy colors and patterns together, you have “Multi-Colored Mania Madness”! <br />
<br />
<strong>Sunday, August 22 will be our Back to School Skate Party</strong> at the YMCA in Edwardsville from 5:30 to 7:30. The cost is $3 and you can pay at the door. The consession stand will be open and Pastor Rich will be sporting some great skating skills. See you there as we kick off another school year.Rich Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16039385053065323561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106093497127712200.post-71148876488583945442010-08-07T22:43:00.000-05:002010-08-07T22:43:12.182-05:00Big Changes in Children's MInistry Beginning Sunday August 15Sunday mornings are changing so that we can better help kidz live for Christ. We want your child to live out the truth of the Bible and not just hear the Bible stories, so we are creating two seperate experiences to better capture the heart of your child. We know that on average we only have between 40-45 hours a year to influence your child spiritually. So our heart's desire is to leverage our time to provide maximum spiritual influence.<br />
<br />
<strong>BACKYARD KIDZ (8:15 & 9:30)</strong><br />
An enperience that focuses on connecting your child to an adult small group leader that can be a positive voice in your child's life. We will continue to utilize both large and small group time, however we are going place more emphasis on the conversations, Bible application and faith skills in the context of a group of 8-10 children and a passionate small group leader. <br />
<br />
<strong>CENTERSTAGE KIDZ CHURCH (10:55)</strong><br />
A brand new experience designed specifically to capture the heart, mind & imagination of each child. While continueing the same Biblical virtue, story and bottom line from Backyard Kidz we will engage your child in a creative, fun and exciting large group experience. William Shakespeare said that "all the world is a stage." This is one of his most often quoted lines in all his writings. If this is true, then on the center of that stage needs to be Jesus Christ. <br />
<br />
We have a team of volunteers that are excited and passionate about partnering with you in seeing your child live for Jesus Christ. Here's where we need your help as parents. Each Sunday is important and we need your help to consistently bring your child on time. It is an honor for us to partner with your family.

This month's virtue is one that you can use over and over again. It's probably one that will come back to you as parents some time or another in the next few days. It's a virtue that many Americans just simply struggle with on a daily basis. Are you ready to know what it is? Are you sure? How about patience! <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Patience is waiting until later for what you want now</strong>. <br />
<br />
Bottom Line May 2: If you don't wait is could cost you later. <br />

</div>Our virtue for November is Cooperation. Cooperation means working together to do more than you can do alone. Well it is about 11 AM on Saturday and I am guessing you are wishing your children would cooperate with you to get some cleaning done around the house. How about that for a very relevant virtue for the month. Also, for the next two month we are going to be talking about broadcasting the love of God by using our virtues for November and December.Rich Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16039385053065323561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106093497127712200.post-34850420769962427242009-10-23T22:14:00.001-05:002009-10-23T22:14:39.080-05:00Next Faith ClubThe next Faith Club will be on October 31 from 9 - 12.

</div><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Wednesday Night September 30</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">at 7 PM!</span></strong><br />
<br />
This is one of the most important places you will go during the next 30 days. KIDZSTUFF LIVE just as much about parents as it is kids. As the church partners with you in developing your child's relationship with God, it is important for you to know what your child is talking about at church. October's virtue is...... I'm not quite ready to tell you that infomation. But it is one of those things your child needs know. And if your child can learn this virtue, they can better understand why God put them here!<br />
<br />
PLEASE NOTE this is a date change. Usually we do this the first Wednesday of the month. But this month is on September 30. Mark your calendar. Protect the time. Don't miss out on the fun and Bible teaching for your family that will spill into the month of October at your house!Rich Cochranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16039385053065323561noreply@blogger.com
