Up Street ( primary school ) series is called Best Year Ever

SERIES OVER VIEW 

Hi families to kick off Upstreet in term 1, we are discovering together how to make this your best year ever—by knowing there is a God who loves me, whom I can trust no matter what, and by choosing to love others the way Jesus loves me. 

MEMORY VERSE 

“30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12: 30-31

Transit (intermediates and year 9s is called Newish

SERIES OVER VIEW 

If there is anything consistent about the intermediate and year 9 experience, it is change. Change is continual, which means everything is newish all the time. This series encourages middle schoolers to consider that every new experience is an invitation to change, change is a part of life, that Jesus invites us to change for the better, and that God never changes, and that is a good thing. 

MEMORY VERSE 

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!  2 CORINTHIANS 5:17 NLT

LIVE IT OUT CHALLENGE 

Along with our weekly Live It Out challenges, kids have been given a Kinder, Wiser, Braver bag tag and either a pencil sharpener or a pen! Over the next four weeks, we’re challenging kids to use one of these items as a kindness prompt—to look for ways to show kindness during the week and then come back on Sundays ready to share their stories.

Missed out? No worries! Bag tags and pens or sharpeners will be available to collect on the coming Sundays.

Hi team this Sunday we will be creating some space during the service for you to pray for your kids as they start a new year at school. The kids will receive a special Kinder, Wiser, Braver keyring bag tag that they can proudly place on their school bags. They'll also get a 3-day devotional and 6 awesome stationary items! Three of these items are for them to keep, and three are for them to give away. These gifts serve as reminders that they have a loving family, a supportive church Whānau, and a God who is FOR them. As they begin the school year, they can carry this love with them and share it with their classmates. We can't wait to see you all there.

During the message Upstreet and transit kids go out like normal, but will combine for a time where the kids get their devotionals and chose their stationary.

Kids can bring in their school bags to put the tags on and put stationary in them.

Summer service - kids will be staying in the service with activity packs provided.
