THE KING AND THE KINGDOM
This month, we will learn that Jesus is the best teacher because He teaches us how to live God’s way. When we obey Jesus, it’s like building a house on a super strong rock. Look in the Bible to find out what Jesus teaches!

THE BIBLE: How to study the Bible
God’s story in the Bible is really, really Good News—and you’re part of the story!
The Bible is an incredible book to read, talk about, and explore over and over again! This month is all about the big story of the whole Bible and what it means for us as followers of Jesus. It includes study tips for kids, how to pick a great Bible, and what to do when the Bible seems confusing, hard, or leaves you with more questions than answers.

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."
Matthew 19:14
At Mill Creek, one of our greatest joys is leading and loving on our next generation. Our mission is building real life disciples connected to God, people, purpose and compassion. That begins at birth here at Mill Creek. We strongly believe in guiding, encouraging and supporting parents as they facilitate connection and build on what they teach at home.
- Nursery: Our loving volunteers begin that connection to God as a channel through which His love flows. Our babies - 2 years old learn 1 John 4:8, "God is love".
- Toddler/Pre-school: Our 2's through 4/5 year olds learn how Jesus wants us to connect to people. Kind words and actions are taught as they learn Matthew 7:12, "Do to others what you would want them to do to you".
- Pre-K/Kindergarten: As children enter Preschool through Kindergarten, we begin helping kids learn the pursuit of worship and how they fit into the big God story. To reinforce their connection to God and others they learn Matthew 22:37, 39, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart...soul...mind and love your neighbor as yourself" and Proverbs 16:24, "Kind words are like honey, sweet to the soul and healthy to the body".
- Konnect: Our elementary students (1st-5th grade) begin each service with the adults in "big" church. We start to reinforce the idea that they have a purpose in this world through Ephesians 2:10, "We are his masterpiece, created anew in Christ Jesus". And that purpose for all of us is to love and serve as Romans 12:10 says, "Love each other deeply. Honor others more than yourselves".
