Hey...What's the BIG Idea?  K-5th Grades
Each month during Connection services at AC3, we are implementing one BIG IDEA  
that our K-5th graders and adults are learning together. To make the most of this unique church wide teaching, ask your child what they did and what they learned during Kreek Kids on your drive home.
During the week, continue growing your family's by posting the month's BIG IDEA handout on your refrigerator and learning the verse and weekly concepts together. You can find BIG IDEA handouts in your child's classroom, on the Check-In Bulletin Board and online. (Saturday and Sunday services may vary in content)

1 Buck – Bible Memory Challenge
1 Buck – Read 5 verses a day, 5 days a week 
1 Buck – Monthly 'Share and Care' Challenge

EGG Facts

Did you know...

A fresh egg will sink in water but a stale one won't.

White shelled eggs are produced by hens with white feathers and ear lobes. Brown shelled eggs are produced by hens with red feathers and red ear lobes.

Chickens do not begin to lay eggs until they reach 20 weeks of age, then they will lay about 245 eggs per year.

China produces most eggs, at about 160 billion per year. In the US, about 260 million hens produce more than 65 billion eggs per year. A hen can lay about 250 eggs per year.

Eggs age more in one day at room temperature than in one week in the refrigerator.
