September is Parent Month in KidzWorld

ParentMonthSlide
Hey parents! Have you been wondering what goes on in KidzWorld? Well now’s your chance to experience KidzWorld alongside your child! You asked for it and here it is – introducing Parent Month. You’ll have the opportunity to follow your child into KidzWorld for a first-hand account of what your kids are learning. As we are limited on space, we will only be able to accommodate a limited number of attendees each week. If you’re interested, be sure to visit newspring.org/parentmonth and select a date and time that will work for you. Please be sure to register every person who will be attending with your child, but please limit it to two attendees per child. We would also like for you to be able to attend your usual service in the auditorium. To do this, just tell the volunteers at the check-in stations that your child will be attending two KidzWorld services. We are excited for this opportunity to get to know some parents we haven’t met, and we hope that you are one of them. Sign up now by clicking HERE.

Back-to-School FX – August 22nd

Friday, August 22nd at 7 p.m., we’ll be holding our Back-to-School FX. If you’re looking for a night of family fun that won’t put a strain on your wallet, KidzWorld FX is the event for you. In fact, you can go ahead and leave your wallet at home because FX is absolutely FREE. KidzWorld FX will be a night of live comedy, fun games and will conclude with KidzWorld Watermark. But in addition to the fun, FX is an excellent way for parents to find out what’s going on in KidzWorld.

Also, Back-to-School FX will be the culmination of our Summer Endurance Contest. If you’ve been submitting photos this summer, you need to show up to FX to be eligible to win one of three $100 gift cards. The fourth and final challenge will be announced soon, so you still have a chance to win if you haven’t participated yet.

We’re looking forward to what God has in store for Back-to-School FX and we hope to see you there!

 

Friend Weekend Recap

befunky_artwork.jpg

Hey kids and families! Friend Weekend was this past week in KidzWorld Route 252 and it was a huge success. If you missed it, Friend Weekend was a celebration that marked the ending of our Big Idea of Friendship that we discussed in June and July. The kids were asked to practice worshipping together by inviting a friend to church. We had 46 first-time guests in Route 252. That’s 46 lives that are now different because their friend invited them to church, and we think that’s invaluable. Also, since we’ve been following the adventures of a budding rock band, they were encouraged to dress like rock stars. We had some pretty rockin’ characters for sure. Each service included drawings, prizes, games, a concert, and also, the finale to a month-long friendly competition between the boys and girls. The losing team captains got a pie in the face. The girls proved formidable by winning the first three services, but the guys refused to be shut out and claimed victory during the final service.

 I’d like to thank all our staff and volunteers that helped make Friend Weekend so awesome, but more importantly, I’d like to thank everyone who took time to invite their friends and family to KidzWorld this past weekend. It would not have been such a success without you.

 As a side note, we also continued our KidzWorld Summer Endurance Contest this weekend. Kids were asked to take a picture with our band and email it to kidzworld@newspring.org or upload it to Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter with #kidzworldcontest. If you took a photo, but forgot to send or upload it, there’s still time to do both. Make sure you get those submissions in, because each submission gives you a chance to win one of three $100 gift cards at our Back-to-School FX event on August 22.

 I hope you and your family have enjoyed our celebration of Friendship. Don’t miss our Big Idea for August as we learn about Stewardship. See you soon!

Hey, KidzWorld Kids and families! If you’ve been following along with our Summer Endurance Contest, I’ve got excellent news for you. The third challenge is quickly approaching! If you haven’t been participating, now is an excellent time to start.

Our third challenge will be held during Friend Weekend, July 26th & 27th, in Route 252. In honor or our weekly bottom line, Friends Worship With Each Other, families are invited to take a picture of themselves with the band after the service. By uploading the picture to Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram with #kidzworldcontest or emailing the photo to kidzworld@newspring.org, you will be automatically entered for a chance to win one of three $100 gift cards that will be given away at the Back-to-School FX event on August 22nd. So make sure you come to Friend Weekend, and of course, bring a friend!

As a reminder, if you have photos from previous challenges that have not been uploaded yet, it’s never too late to submit them. We’re still taking photo submissions from our Summer FX in May. So if you still have those, go ahead and upload them with #kidzworldcontest or email them to kidzworld@newspring.org.

I hope you continue to have a fun, safe summer and we’ll see you in KidzWorld soon!

Friend Weekend July 26th and 27th

Hey families! We are super excited to announce Friend Weekend July 26th and 27th. All month long, your kids have been locked in a friendly Boys vs. Girls competition, and Friend Weekend will be the big finale that decides the winner. For each friend your child brings, they will earn points to help their team win and be entered to win some awesome prizes. But that’s not all! Because we’ve been following the adventures of a rock band the past few months, we’re invited all kids to dress like rock stars too. Dressing up will earn them even more points in the competition. Here’s a flyer and invitation you can download for them to use to invite their friends. Or send an email asking for more invites to Route252@newspring.org. Just make sure they fill out the invitation and bring it to Route 252 so they can be entered for the prize drawings.
