ISLAND KIDS
Sunday at 8:30, 10:00 + 11:30 AM
Island Kids 2s & 3s and 4s & 5s:
This week, as we look at 1 Samuel 25:1–35, the kids will learn that God can help us be brave so we can help others. Abigail could have done nothing and stayed quiet when her husband Nabal made David and his men angry. Instead, she chose to be brave, took food to David and his men, and helped save the lives of many people. Our October memory verse is: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid … for the Lord your God goes with you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV)
Island Kids 1st – 5th Grade:
We’ll wrap up the month in 1 and 2 Kings as we take a look at the kings of Israel and Judah. We’ll focus on a few kings like Rehoboam and Ahab, who led the people far from God with their foolish choices. And we’ll highlight several others, like Hezekiah and Josiah, who made wise choices, leading the people back to God. Our bottom line this week is: Be wise because your choices matter. Our October memory verse is: “It is much better to get wisdom than gold. It is much better to choose understanding than silver.” Proverbs 16:16 (NIrV)

MEMBERSHIP
November 8 @ 9:00 AM
Do you consider this your home church? Do you want to find out what it means to be a member of Island Christian?
Join us on Saturday, November 8 at 9:00 AM for a morning of interactive discussion about joining our church.
Many times in the New Testament, the church is referred to as a body with each part being a member (Rom. 12:4, Eph. 3:6 and 4:25, Col. 3:15). Church membership affirms your commitment to a local church as part of the body of Christ. As Christians, we are called to live in community, and becoming a member is a great next step!
