Merry Christmas to all our Kids at the Ridge Families!

Merry Christmas to all our Kids at the Ridge Families!

Luke 2:10-11 – “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

We pray that this Christmas will be a meaningful time of reflection, renewal, and incredible joy for your family as you celebrate the birth of our Savior.

One of the best parts of Christmas for me and my family is to create lasting memories together.  We love looking back at pictures over the years to see how the kids have grown and changed and remembering those special times together.   I wanted to find a way to help our WRBC families to create some memories this year over the Christmas break, so to help you do that, I’ve created a Kids Christmas Bingo!  This game is filled with activity ideas and service ideas and I hope it brings fun and laughter to your home but most especially warm memories too! 

You can work on it as a family or have each child work on their own.  Every time you complete a row, find a way to celebrate as a family and choose to do something special (there are no rules, just have fun!). If kids bring in their completed bingo cards on January 8th , they can pick a prize out of our prize bin too.   

Print it at home or pick one up at the church – they’ll be on the Kids Craft Carts in the Auditorium as well as a few on the Children’s Check in Desk.

Kids at the Ridge - Praying for Ukraine

A couple of weeks ago, our SONSeekers kids brought home a “Praying for Ukraine” coloring sheet that they were encouraged to put on their fridge to remind them to pray.

The coloring sheet  can be found here if you didn’t receive one: Pray-for-Ukraine-Coloring-Page

We also painted a large poster that we put on our church bulletin board to remind our families at church to pray for Ukraine.

Maybe you’ve already talked to your kids about the war, but if you haven’t, our kids may already be hearing about this in school, through friends, or even through overhearing news stories on the family tv at home. Just in case you are struggling with what to say to your kids or what to pray for, I’ve put together some prayer points and bible verses you can read through together as a family.

– Pray for Safety – read Isaiah 41:10

– Pray for Comfort – read Psalm 34:18 and Psalm 73:26

– Pray for Hope and Courage – read Deuteronomy 31:8-9

– Pray for Peace – read John 16:33

Praying for you all as you navigate this tough topic with your kids.

Mrs. Sheilla


SONSeekers Missions Update

Hi Parents,

Well, it’s already March and we have been feeling a few “warmer” days lately. At the end of February, our kids had a special Missions class where we talked about different kinds of Missionaries and different ways people can be a missionary. We also talked about how we can share God’s love with others around us and that we can be on a mission for Him no matter where we are! Part of our activity was to pray for one of our WRBC Missionary Families, and we also wrote them a letter and made a big card for them showing how much we love them, appreciate them and are praying for them.

So I wanted to share this sweet card with our parents and families as they did such a great job. We mailed it last week, so we are praying it arrives safely!

We talked to the kids about how we can share the love of Jesus with those around us, but also how can we share the Good NEWS with them. So I’ve included a part of our activity below that you can try out as a family.

Family Activity Idea – Practice being a Missionary:

Take a look at some of the steps below that a missionary might use to tell someone about Jesus. Discuss with your kids ideas of how they might tell someone about Jesus, using any of these steps. Then, pray together and try acting on one or more of the steps below as a family.

– Make friends
– Eat a meal together
– Explore the city
– Invite friends to your home
– Give them a Bible
– Talk about Jesus
– Pray for them
– Invite them to church
– Enjoy their company
– Tell them how to become a Christian

I pray this activity brings meaningful conversations around the table with your kids!

Blessings on your week ahead.

Love, Mrs. Sheilla


Unit 20 Session 2 - Jesus' Temptation - January 29, 2022

Hey Kids,

Today we will talk about temptation. Jesus was tempted, but He trusted God and never sinned. Because of this, he was the perfect sacrifice that was required to free us all from our sin and to give us the power to say no to temptation.

Don’t forget to follow along with the activity at the end. We are making “Remembrance Rocks” to remind us to pray when we feel tempted.

See you in person AND online next week! Activity Packs will be sent home with the kids on Sunday for the entire month of February.

God bless,

Mrs. Sheilla
