If your kids attend Midweek Kids on Wednesday Night, we have been challenging them to read through the Easter Story and Acts 1-12 (since Pastor Brian is preaching through Acts) at home. For a few weeks now, and through the end of April, we are doing some fun quizzing on questions from these sections of Scripture.

However, I know how these question sheets can often get lost or even not make it home at all. I'm attaching them so that you can read God's Word with your kids and help them learn some facts along the way. Hopefully, this will be a fun way for your family to dig into God's Word together.

Nothing quite like walking down the hall and hearing 1st-4th graders praising God in full voice. Come join in on Sunday morning!

THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT, at Midweek Kids, our 3rd-6th graders will have the opportunity to watch the movie "Light of the World". Ou church was given permission to show this movie for free ONLY this week. It will be shown from 6-7:30 at both of our campuses.

Parents, the movie is rated PG (8+) and so we are limiting the viewing to 3rd-6th graders. Christin Gammill, our Preschool Director at the Joplin Campus, was kind enough to preview the movie and thought it was very good and not very graphic at all in it's handling of Jesus' suffering and death.

Still, we decided to err on the side of caution, and respect the rating, and thus our Preschool-2nd graders will have Midweek schedule as usual.

Our Joplin Campus 5th & 6th grade Impact kids did a great job serving at Mission Joplin yesterday morning. Afterward, we had some pizza and enjoyed skating and playing laser tag at Roller City!

Church Family 📣 We want to share a quick update regarding Midweek.

It has been our long-standing policy to cancel Midweek when public schools cancel. School decisions are typically made based on morning road conditions, which can look very different from evening conditions after a full day of sunshine.

Because of this, we are continuing to monitor conditions and will communicate a final decision by noon tomorrow.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of our church family. Please keep an eye on your email and social media for the latest update. 👀🫶

Check out the free D6 Parent App in the App Store. It’s packed with simple prompts and tools to help spark discipleship moments in everyday life—on the drive, around the table, or at bedtime.

In a busy, fast-paced world, Deuteronomy 6 reminds us to make the most of the small moments God gives us. Those ordinary conversations can lead to extraordinary, eternal impact.
