May Themes
Pre-K ~ It Is Finished
Elementary ~ Give - Save - Spend
Our May Pre-K RidgeRunners theme is "It is Finished" We're learning that Jesus gave us exactly what we needed. When we choose to follow Jesus, he takes the sin out of our hearts so we can love others the way he loves us.
Bible Point: How do you love like Jesus? I show love to everyone!
Key Verse: "Just as I have loved you, you should love each other" John 13:4 (paraphrased)
This May in Elementary RidgeRunners, we're learning to treasure what matters most through stories about giving, and of Joseph and King Ahab.
Car Talk:
1. What's your favorite possession? Why does it matter to you?
2. How can we share our treasure with God?
3. What's the difference between spending wisely and carelessly?
Memory Verse: “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Matthew 6:21 NIV
Children's Rooms:
Check-in for all ages will be at the kiosks just inside the RidgeRunners entrance doors.
Elementary RidgeRunners (K-5th) enter to the right of the check-in area. Li'l RidgeRunners (Infant-Pre-K5) head down the hallway past the Elementary room to the left. Toddlers are straight ahead. Take a right turn for Pre-K and a left turn for Infants. Infants and Toddlers will share the Toddler Room for the 9:30 service.
How check-in works:
- Accept your invite and sign up for Realm Connect. (If you have not received an invite to Realm, please email info@theridgecolumbus.com and request to be added.)
- Request to join the appropriate groups for your kids within the Connect app (ex. 2nd grade, toddlers, etc.).
- Sign in via the app on your way to church on Sunday, and use the QR code to print your name tags when you arrive.
- Alternately, sign in and print name tags at one of several laptop or tablet kiosks when you arrive. You will see the RidgeRunners logo on the doors to the check-in station.
- Escort your kids to their rooms by following the signage and moving through the children's area hallways in a counter-clockwise direction.
- Pick up kids after the service by entering and exiting the hallways in the same counter-clockwise fashion. When picking up kids from the Elementary RidgeRunners room, please proceed all the way into the room from the check-in area and exit through either the door to the back hallway or through the doors to the parking lot. Please avoid heading back through the check-in area so that we can avoid over-crowding in the front hallway.
