This has been a game changer of how we do family devotions. Short, structured, intentional, and a habit we’ve formed every morning before school!

School year brings new rhythms, here’s a great one to start up!

Parent Resource Spotlight! 👀

Indescribable: 100 Devotions About God & Science

Why we Love It:
➡️ It pairs science with scripture and shows how beautifully they work together. It also really gets kids thinking about how God’s handiwork is all around!
➡️ Each devotion includes scripture, a devo and a prayer - we love that sequence for family devotions!
➡️ It’s a great length; long enough for substance but short enough for kid’s short attention spans

➡️ BONUS: it’s actually super interesting for parents too 😆

We are so passionate about parents doing devotions at home outside of Sundays and Wednesdays - here’s a really great resource to check out if you are looking for something 😁

Some little (BIG) reminders from our Wednesday Night Elementary youth!

We’ve had a great first 2 Wednesdays kicking off the new school year! Don’t forget TOMORROW night is a meal before our regular classes!

Come hungry at 6:00pm for some chilli dogs then get ready to worship and learn about Jesus from 6:30pm - 8:00pm!

Tonight will be more of a fun night hanging with friends, meeting the youth leaders, eating some food and playing games!

We can’t wait to get going with another fun year together :)

3 of our elementary youth chose baptism this past Sunday!! 🙌

Parents, what you do at home to raise young believers matters. They are watching you, they are learning from you, they are experiencing the love of Jesus through you.

Elementary youth leaders - this is a work of you making disciples. Thanks for all you do to be another layer of making Jesus known to the youngest in our Church.

We had a fun movie night last week!

One awesome thing sent home with families after were these conversation cards about the movie.

Remember, discipleship doesn’t just look like doing devotions every night, it’s also processing everyday things (even a movie) with your kiddos!

Next time you watch a show or movie with your kids take some time to ask them some questions after.

➡️What they got out of the movie
➡️How the movie pointed them to Christ
➡️Were there things in the movie that don’t honor God and how should we think about/address those things?

Discipling your kids happens all day every day, don’t forget to use everyday things as chances for discipleship!

ALSO keep an eye out for our next movie night later this summer!

GREAT opportunity for your kids this summer!

And if you are an adult and want to volunteer we could use your help!

VBS TIME! 🙌

Always one of our favorite events of the year!

This year we travel to ROME for our theme where we will get to explore first hand the world of Paul while experiencing the trials, joyous victories and tear-filled celebrations of this unique Bible hero. God’s word will surely come alive!
