Week of Missionary- Gladys Aylward This week is a missionary week and our kids at RWC Sunday School learnt about- Gladys Aylward (1902-1970) who was a British Christian missionary who became famous for her work in China. She overcame numerous obstacles to fulfill her calling, including her own limited finances and a lack of formal missionary training. Aylward is best known for her courageous efforts to rescue and care for orphans during the tumultuous years of World War II and the Chinese Civil War. Her life story was later adapted into the popular movie “The Inn of the Sixth Happiness,” starring Ingrid Bergman. Gladys Aylward’s dedication to serving the people of China has left a lasting legacy in the world of Christian missions. Our children found profound inspiration in the life of Gladys Aylward, who courageously navigated numerous challenges throughout her journey. She dedicated herself to serving people in times of both peace and war, exemplifying God’s love and making His presence evident to those she encountered.” Memory Verse Philippians 4:13I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Monthly Theme: Belief – The Repentant Thief on the Cross (Luke 23) In today’s Kids Church, we explored a valuable lesson about the belief of the repentant thief on the cross. This lesson helped children grasp the concept of a repentant heart and salvation through faith. As the suffering on the cross unfolded, both Jesus and the thief endured the agony of this cruel execution. The thief, witnessing all that Jesus was going through, came to a profound realization of his own sinfulness. This epiphany led him to believe in Jesus as the Savior King who could usher him into the heavenly kingdom. Through his unwavering belief, the repentant thief immediately secured his eternal life in paradise with Jesus. Children now understand the importance of repentance and faith in Jesus for their own salvation. We pray that they may emulate the faith of the repentant thief and find their place in the Heavenly Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Just for Jesus Contest The Thanksgiving celebration at RWC Kids Church this year was truly fantastic. We were reminded of the diverse talents and abilities each of our kids possesses. Through the “Just for Jesus Contest,” our RWC kids beautifully showcased their God-given gifts. This event transcended mere competition; it was a heartfelt expression of gratitude to God, with our kids using their talents in various ways, including singing, dancing, crafting, performing monologues, playing musical instruments, and even reenacting Bible characters. Witnessing our children’s performances and their heartfelt gratitude to God was indeed an exciting and moving experience. May God bless you all kids!!

Theme: Self-Control–Week 3 – David and Saul in the caves of En-Gedi Under the theme of Self-Control this month, children delved into the story of David. They explored how David, a young shepherd, was anointed to become King and how God aided him in defeating the giant Goliath with just a stone and a sling. As David rose to power, he faced persecution from Saul, compelling him to live in the wilderness. Despite the adversity, David exhibited self-control by refraining from seeking vengeance against Saul. Notably, when David encountered Saul in the Caves of En-Gedi, he chose not to harm him, exemplifying his righteous character. The children also discussed real-life scenarios that could provoke impulsive reactions and the role of prayer in maintaining self-control. A rewarding week of fostering self-discipline!
