TAKE THE LEAD: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON THE JUDGES

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Leaders take the lead. Like a drum major leading a marching band or the grand marshal at a parade, leaders are out in front showing others the way. Legendary leaders of the Bible like Deborah, Gideon, Samson, and Ruth will help kids see what leadership looks like and how they can become great leaders too. Young leaders will grow this month learning that God gives me courage to lead, helps me learn from mistakes, and gives me leaders I can follow. Everyone can be a leader, let’s take the lead together.

In a world filled with so many different kinds of injustices, inequalities, and wrongs, have you ever thought about how we can raise justice-minded kids? Here are a few ideas. 1. Point out injustices you see in an age-appropriate way. 2. Ask for their perspective. 3. Point out wrongs that are being made right. 4. Do something together to help make one of those wrongs just a little bit more right.

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Parent Tip Video #11 from your Parents section.

Have you ever grappled with ways to talk to your kid about race? Check out this awesome VIDEO about how you can have these conversations with even the youngest kids (especially them!) as not to have kids become “color-silent” in this beautiful, diverse world we live in.

We consider our volunteer leaders to be the best link we have between our church and your family. So here’s a question: How often did you hear from your kid’s leader this school year? Hit Reply and let us know!
