Beauty won’t fix everything.
But sometimes it helps us lift our eyes for a moment
and remember the Creator behind it all.
It’s okay to slow down long enough to notice.

This week in UR Kids, we talked about Paul in Athens and the reminder that God is the one true God.

In a world full of distractions, voices, and things competing for our attention, God alone is worthy of our worship.

And honestly, we can all learn from that reminder.

This week, take a moment to reflect:
👉 What has been getting the most attention, trust, or focus in my life lately?

We spend a lot of time consuming,
but not a lot of time thinking about what we are consuming.
And what we consume shapes us.

God’s Word is meant to be read.

Open it.

Last Wed was our final youth group gathering of the school year, and we took some time to celebrate our graduating seniors.
It’s always a strange mix of emotions, excitement for what’s ahead and sadness knowing a season is ending.
This group is heading into all kinds of next steps: college, work, ministry training, gap years, new opportunities, and plenty of unknowns too. Some are studying accounting. Some theology. Some are continuing athletics while they learn and grow. Some are still figuring out what comes next.
And we’re genuinely excited for all of it.
Big dreams and meaningful goals are gifts worth pursuing. And so is taking time to seek wisdom before making a major decision. There’s no “right” path into adulthood, and no one’s value is determined by how impressive their plans sound at 18 years old.
We’re proud of these students not just for what they’re doing next, but for who they are becoming.
Please join us in praying for our seniors as they step into this next season of life, that they would stay rooted in Jesus, grow in wisdom, and know they always have a church family cheering them on.
We love you guys. We are always here for you.

This week in UR Kids, we learned about Peter’s rescue from prison and were reminded that God is powerful.

Sometimes God works in dramatic ways. Sometimes quietly. But He is always at work.

We can all learn from that reminder. This week, take a moment to reflect:

👉 Where do I need to trust God’s power instead of relying only on my own strength?

Lilacs are blooming behind the church this week, and they smell as beautiful as they look.

Grateful for reminders that God continues to bring beauty, growth, and new life season after season.

You are the light
because Christ is in you.

God chooses to work through you, imperfections and all.

You don’t need to have everything figured out to point to Him.

Let your light shine.
