Memory Verse Fun For The Whole Family

Our Sunday Preschool and Kids Time program are in a lesson series called Kings & Prophets.

The Memory Verse for this 6 lesson series is Psalm 46:10-11 NIV

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 The Lord Almighty is with us;

the God of Jacob is our fortress.

On Sunday October 18th we learned actions for this Memory Verse and we thought we would share this with families so that you could participate in learning this verse together.

Watch the video for the actions and have some purposeful fun!

Welcome to Children's Ministry 2026-2027
Fall is Here! A NEW CHILDREN’S MINISTRY YEAR HAS BEGUN! We have much to communicate through out the year! We are excited to have a way to stay connected with our SCC Families and anyone interested in learning more about what’s happening in Children’s Ministry! Please take a moment to subscribe to “Family & Children’s Ministry” to ensure that you don’t miss our posts. Click the button below.Subscribe Here A New Ministry Year has brought changes to our Preschool and Kids Time Programs. Our Preschool class has moved into our Children’s Ministry wing in our newly renovated space, joining the Kids Time Gr 1-4 Program on our lower level. We are grateful for our new classrooms! Having these programs together on one floor has allowed us to bring our Preschoolers and Gr 1-4 children together for worship and teaching time that provides an introduction to the lesson in age appropriate ways. This has been well received and going well! Along with new rooms and an adjusted structure, we have introduced Respectful Expectations with the children and their classroom teachers. We thought we should also introduce our families to these expectations and the purpose behind them. SCC Children’s Ministry aims to provide gospel centered age-appropriate teaching that helps build a solid foundation for children to: Know God, Love God and Follow God. Know God: because He has made Himself known. (Heb 1:1-3, Col 1:15) Love God: because He first loved us. (1John 3:1 & 4:10,19 / Romans 5:8) Follow God: because we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works He has prepared in advance for us. (Eph 2:10, John 15:1-8) We endeavour to provide an environment conducive to helping every child Know God, Love God and Follow God and this is reflective in our classroom expectations. Respectful Expectations for Children: Listen to your leaders and follow instructions. Be kind to each other. Care for our classroom. Then we can…. HAVE FUN! Volunteer Expectations: SCC Kids Leaders will help all children under our guidance and care to understand and follow the Respectful Expectations with the intent being that nothing hinders them or others from learning and growing as a precious child of God. We love your children and are grateful for the opportunity we have to partner with you to raise up a new generation of Christ-followers. One of the ways you can partner with us is to review and remind your children of these Respectful Expectations so they are not surprised when we are putting them into practice. Thank you for helping us to care for every precious little soul that comes into our classrooms. LESSONS AND LEARNINGS: We have finished up our latest Lesson Series - Problems & Promises. Your Preschool or Kids Time age child(ren) should come home with a Promise Library Booklet. Within each week’s teaching content we highlighted a promise of God and a verse to hold on to. See Below. We hope this booklet is a treasured reminder to your child(ren) of God’s remarkable faithfulness - that we can count on God to keep His promises to us. God is trustworthy and He will do what He says He will do. We encourage you to talk about these promises with your children, help them look up the verses in the Bible and encourage them to go back to these truths when they are struggling or even use them as a spring board to prayer. Our new Series, KINGS & PROPHETS begins Sunday October 11th and runs until Sunday November 22nd. From a Volunteer: Serving in Children’s Ministries has been such a blessing! I feel more connected to the young families that are coming to church each week & also so grateful to be used by God to be part of discipling these little ones. They are at the beginning of their faith journey & we can help parents build a solid spiritual foundation for their children - and have fun doing it! Is God calling you to take your next step? Join the Children’s Ministry Team - let us know you are interested. From a Volunteer: Serving in Children’s Ministry has been a great way to make connections with kids, parents and other leaders and it is such a gift to witness the kids receive God's word with such joy and enthusiasm. The team of people I get to work with are welcoming, encouraging and inspire me to continue serving. God has done a great work in my heart through this opportunity. Coming up: Child & Family Dedications - Sun Oct 25th 9am & 11am
