KID CITY
CITY LIFE CHURCH
Jesus loves the little children! They are precious in His sight. Let’s bring them to Him!
Children are a blessed legacy, responsibility, and hope. Our time, love, and care are well-invested in them. Let’s come alongside each other to raise them together as a community!
In Kid City, children (babies through 5th grade) learn about Jesus… the one who loves them and has big plans for their lives. Their imaginations are shaped by God’s Word. Kids develop healthy relationships with each other and the adults that serve on the Kid City team.
We meet during both the 9:15 a.m. and 11 a.m. services on Sunday morning.
Please feel free to reach out to The Mayor of Kid City, Sara VanderVelde. <[email protected]>

ANNOUNCEMENTS
KID CITY HAPPENINGS
MARCH EVENTS
March 16, 19 Financial Foundations Workshop
Sunday: Stewardship for Kids
Everything we have comes directly from the Lord. He is the Owner; we are only His stewards. And as stewards, we have no rights – only responsibilities. Simply knowing that God owns it all is not enough. Kids will learn we have a responsibility to use our money wisely. We will also practice making business plan for entrepreneurship.
Wednesday: Savings For Kids
God wants everyone to trust Him with their money and learn to handle it properly. God speaks about money in the Bible because He wants us to understand and take care of our money. We will have time to talk about a savings account in a bank and having a piggy bank.
March 23 – Spring Celebration
Come and join us for fun in service and after second for a lunch together. This is designed to invite friends and family.

THE BIGGEST STORY RESOURCES
KID CITY’S NEW CURRICULUM
BIGGEST STORY CURRICULUM
Kid City has decided to focus on bible study and journaling for 2025 and 2026 using a new curriculum. We are very excited to walk alongside families and disciple parents at church who will disciple their children at home. We will use a specific Bible each week to study vibrant stories from: creation to the fall of man and then redemption and the promise of a new home in Zion. Here are the links to the Bible, Family bible with discussion prompts, as well as verse cards we will use. These are simply tools you may use to follow along if you wish to at home. We will provide scripture references and you are more than able to follow along in any bible you already have at home!

TIP OF THE MONTH
Gifted Kids
When we talk about the “gifts” kids have and how they can use them to serve others, have you ever noticed how certain kinds of gifts seem to get more attention than others? It’s easy to tell them they’re a good musician, athlete, public speaker, or even a good leader. But what about those not-so-obvious gifts? What are they, and how can we better recognize them in the kids we raise?
Tip & Resource Archive PDF
We have compiled a PDF of previous Tips & Resources posted on Kid City. This PDF will be updated as new tips/resources are posted (…so the old ones archived to the PDF continually). We hope you will be blessed by the wisdom of many!
