PLATE IT: A 4-WEEK SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ON THE PROPHETS
WEEK 3 BIG IDEA: Step three, listen to God.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Kids love to be in the kitchen. They may even love helping prepare something delicious! Having a plan or a recipe usually helps, too. Just like having a plan in the kitchen helps the meal we hope to enjoy, the stories of the Old Testament prophets are like a cookbook that helped people prepare for the Savior that God would send one day. Even though there’s no exact recipe, kids will find that they can prepare themselves for a loving relationship with God when they 1) trust God, 2) talk to God, 3) listen to God, and 4) leave the results to God.

You have probably noticed the teenagers you work with tend to care a lot about what people think about them. You may have noticed that you also tend to care what people think about you. What causes this in us and just as interestingly, when does this start to develop in each of us? Check out this fun TED TALK for a little more insight into this phenomenon that shapes our everyday lives!

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

We’d love your opinion. If you were a family dropping your kid off at our ministry for the first time, what would you think about it? Reply to this email and let us know!
