AMAZED: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON ELIJAH
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA:  IT'S AMAZING! GOD TAKES CARE OF ME

SERIES OVERVIEW:

This month, we are going through the major events in the life of prophet Elijah, all of which are nothing short of amazing! Elijah's ministry took place during turbulent times for God's people – so much so that Elijah felt utterly alone at times. Sometimes he was literally alone. But God's presence and power with Elijah throughout those times is undeniable. Through these stories, kids will discover how amazing it is that God takes care of us, God knows whats best for us, God speaks to us, and all in all, God does SO MANY amazing things! 

If there's one tip we could give you this month, it's this: connect with the parents of your kids. Connecting with parents can be just as important as the connection you’re building with your kids. In fact, your connection with a parent could be the thing that makes your connection with a kid that much more effective.

If you're subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to link to Volunteer Tip Video #9 from your Volunteer section.

If you're a small group leader, you're the best link we have between our church and your family. So here's a question: How many parents have you connected with so far this year?
