What we are teaching this month
Series Title: You’re Invited
Memory Verse: “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” — John 1:12
Getting invited to a party is one of the best feelings, and being left out is one of the worst. But there's good news— Jesus never leaves anyone out! He invites everyone to spend time with him, experience his love, and share it with others. This series will remind kids that Jesus' invitation is always open, and we're never too far away to join the party! In this 4-week series, kids will learn that I'm invited to believe in Jesus, love like Jesus does, experience Jesus' miracles, and ask Jesus for help.

Daily ACTIVITY Calendar
Each month, we’ll give you short, simple activities that you can incorporate into the daily rhythms of life with your kids.
These activities will be centered first and foremost on the Bible and God’s Story, and secondarily on what we are learning together that month.
Our hope is that these resources will be a tool to enrich your home and help you become the primary spiritual influencer in your kids’ lives. We’re honored to come alongside you as a church, providing encouragement, support, and resources as you lead your family in knowing and following Jesus.

Ministry Partner Highlight:
We are grateful for our ministry partners who help create a welcoming environment where children ages 18 months to 4 years can learn more about God’s Word through play, movement, and age-appropriate activities.
