UNUSUAL: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON DAVID

SERIES OVERVIEW:

What is a narwhal exactly? Have you ever spotted a sasquatch in the wild? Can you catch a centaur? Unusual animals are interesting and unique, just like King David’s story. It was unusual for David to become a king, and he didn’t always get things right, but his story teaches us that, God uses unlikely people, and gives unexplainable joy. Kids will use their imaginations to get to know an unchangeable God who does unexpected things.

Finding time to pray consistently is a challenge for kids — for adults, too! Here’s an easy way to think about it: use these three very familiar words — “please,” “thanks,” and “sorry” — and say them to God. Say “please” when you need help. Say “thanks” when you’re grateful to or in awe of God. Say “sorry” when you’ve blown it. And teach your kids to do the same!

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Parent Tip Video #12 from your Parents section.

HERE’S an extra resource that talks about prayerful parenting. Maybe we don’t have all the words, but it’s vital to initiate our kids into a culture and posture of prayer that they can maintain until they are adults and parents themselves!
