Vista Kids Happenings
Updates and Information for our Vista Kids at VRUMC
Coming up this Sunday, July 28th in Vista Kids
9:45 Learning Hour: This Sunday we will explore the story of when Samuel anointed David with oil. Look up the word “anoint” in the Deep Blue Kids Bible Dictionary. What is anointing? Who are some of the people in the Bible who were anointed? Have you ever been anointed? Join us as we dive deeper into this story and make heart harps!
Bible Story: David and Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-23)
Bible Story Focus: God knows us deeply, seeing into the heart of each of us.
Wonder Together: What is something about you that people can’t tell simply by looking at you?
Children's Church during Worship: John 1:1-5 Have you ever built something in the dark? Join us for Children's Church where we will be building in the dark with special, bright materials!

Camp Bible 2019 at Bridgeport: Be the Church
September 21-22, 2019
Join us for a Bible Retreat for children who will be in Grades 3-5 in the 2019-2020 school year.
Registration is now open!
You are going to be part of this very special weekend where our theme will be Be the Church. We will focus on the words Jesus gave us to live out his ministry as the body of Christ as we speak the love, grace, truth and compassion of God.
At Camp Bible, we recognize how important it is for us to use our Bibles since God continues to talk to us through words and stories. Not only will we share in the adventure of learning about our Bibles, we will share in camp life as well. Get ready to look at the stars, eat outside, play games, shoot arrows, dance, do crafts and so much more.
Check-in
10:00 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. on Saturday, September 21, 2019 in Martin.

Vista Kids in Review
9:45 Learning Hour: Last Sunday we read of the kindness of Rebekah and how God led to Rebekah and Isaac being married. Water fun, camel puppets, LEGOS, and clay pots helped us to dig deeper into this story and connect that Jesus is the living water! Genesis 24:1-67
Our scripture theme for this month is: I will make your name respected, and you will be a blessing. (Genesis 12:2)
Prayer for this Month: Dear God, each family is different and unique. Thank you for my special family. Amen.
Children's Church during Worship: The early church became a community by sharing, helping, supporting, and worshipping together. (Acts 2:42-47, CEB) In Children's Church we discussed how and what we can share with others! We used "sharing trees" to display our ideas!
One more week!!
You have one more week to grab a bible buddies paper on Sunday (on the Vista Kids Bulletin Board), cut them out and take them on the road with you as reminders to read the Bible and pray with your family! You still have time to get some Bible reading recorded on a Summer Challenge sheet too! Don't have one, grab one from the bulletin board Sunday
August 11th, prizes will be awarded for those who turn in a bible reading challenge sheet and/or took pictures with their Bible Buddies!
