Hey parents!
What a week we had! I don't know about you guys, but I'm having trouble getting my feet moving like a gazelle's, but I know I have to RUN! (If that analogy is lost on you, check out the latest in our Life. Money. Hope. series on the iCampus at 1pm on Wednesday June 10.)
Sometimes it's tough to have faith that God will provide for us (and it can be easy to trust FICO), but He's always going to provide. That's the promise He made to us! And we can see it all around us. He's always showing us that He's there for us. We just have to look for the signs and have faith that He'll be true to His word.
Our preschoolers learned this week that the words in the Bible are God's words and that they're all true. Here's the Small Talk card:
Our 1st through 5th graders learned about faith, and seeing evidence of God's hand in nature. Here's the Fridge Door card:
In SURGE our kids learned about parables, the lessons Christ taught here on earth that were, in a nutshell, stories about earth that revealed something about heaven. The particular parable that we talked about was the "Parable of the Prodigal" (found in Luke 15:11-32).
Here are some questions you may want to ask your middle-schooler:
Why do you think Jesus spoke so often in parables?
Has anyone in your life taught you something in this way?
Can you name other parables in the Bible?
Many people can relate to the lost son parable. Discuss what each character might be feeling? (Father, older brother, younger brother)
Once again, I want to thank you all for giving us the opportunity to teach your kids. We love doing this Sunday after Sunday, and I hope our program has helped your family in some small way. I look forward to doing it all again next week!
Until then, have an awesome week!
~Nate
