CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ABOUT PSALMS & PROVERBS
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA: I can be wise by not choosing sides.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Did you know that every day is full of adventures that we get to choose? Some adventures are small, like choosing which book to read. Others are bigger, like deciding how to react when a family member makes us upset. It’s not always easy to know what is best but there is hidden treasure you can take into every choice: wisdom. Wisdom is a valuable gift that helps people choose what’s best. Together we can choose wisdom, by not choosing sides, choosing our words carefully, choosing to do good, and choosing God!

Have you ever found yourself feeling frustrated because your group doesn’t consistently open up? Yeah, we all have. Leading conversations with kids can be complicated. The structure that leads to a great conversation one week may be a complete dud the next. There is no one solution that will work for every group, ever week . . . but there are some really helpful tips that are worth trying this week.

If you’re subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Volunteer Tip Video #2 from your Volunteer section.

At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!
