In the month of March, we are discussing how we are called to love and treat others in a way that seems “upside down” to the world. We are called to love others the way that Jesus loved us. That love is contagious and can and will spur others to love others that way as well.

In the month of February, we are diving into how we can “like and subscribe” to Jesus, so that we can effectively share the love of Jesus with others. Social Media is prevalent and takes up the attention, focus, and identity of people. We want to encourage our children to invest their time, focus, and identity into Jesus Christ!

This month, the children will learn how to “Gameplan” the growth in their relationship with Christ. They will discover the tools and resources provided by our creator that facilitates this growth. This series will stress the significance of reading Scripture, Prayer, Fellowship, Worship, and more. The link above gives you access the teaching videos, the verse of the month, and the question of the month. We are excited as we learn to GAMEPLAN!

Getting started can sometimes seem like the hardest part of meeting a need. But it actually starts before then. First, we must see the needs around us. Initiative isn’t just some practical principle; it’s really a spiritual principle that starts with God. God took initiative on our behalf by seeing that our relationship was broken and needed to be fixed. So, God sent Jesus to make it right. And because we are made in God’s image, we are wired to be able to take initiative and get things done too.

Life can be complicated. In fact, Jesus told His disciples that we would have trouble in this world (John 16:33b). Sometimes, we may not understand why something happens the way it does. Yet, in spite of the things that go wrong or the things we don’t understand, we can have hope that God knows what’s best and is working for our good. Because of that, we can trust God no matter what as we begin to explore why the story of Jesus is good news for everyone.

Since the beginning of creation, we see how God created us to be in community with one another. Cooperation is a spiritual concept that originates with God, and throughout the Bible, we see how God brought people together to accomplish God’s plan for the world. When we work together, we reflect Jesus to others, and our love for one another can point people to Him as we explore what God wants us to do together.

Have you ever thought about what makes you, you? We all have different backgrounds, families, or favorite colors. We all enjoy different sports, foods, vacations, and have different friends and experiences in life. There is only one you, and this month we have the chance to explore how God can use the ways we were created to make a difference.

With every season comes new and different challenges but also the chance to experience incredible joy. Through sunshine or rain, storms, and blue skies, seasons and weather are important to growth, but not just for flowers and trees. How we respond to each season of life helps us grow in maturity and can spur us to a deeper faith in God. This is especially true when it comes to our emotions. Just as seasons come and go, so do our emotions. No matter what emotion we may be feeling or what we may face, because of Jesus, we can learn to trust that God knows how we feel. Jesus showed us how to face life with resilience, and because of it, we can trust God no matter what.

Music is such a big part of Christmas, but it’s not the main reason we celebrate. It’s easy to get distracted with all the lights, presents, and traditions that sometimes we forget it’s not about the things we do, but Who we do it for and why we do it. That’s why this December, we’re singing loudly as we jam out to our Christmas Playlist to celebrate Jesus, God’s greatest gift! The best gift God ever gave was Jesus. Because of Jesus, it’s possible for us to have a relationship with God that will last forever. As we get in the mix this Christmas season, let’s take time to remember the reason we celebrate in the first place: Jesus, the greatest gift the world has ever known.
