LEGACY: A 5-WEEK SERIES ON THE HOLY SPIRIT
WEEK 5 BIG IDEA:  THE HOLY SPIRIT MAKES US A PART OF GOD'S FAMILY.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

There is a legacy waiting, for every kid everywhere. The legacy has been handed down like a valuable family heirloom and this month you’ll get to tell kids about what that legacy is! The Holy Spirit is the legacy that Jesus gives to every person who believes. The Holy Spirit is for everyone and helps us so much. The Holy spirit helps us know God, love everyone, do God’s work, and makes us a part of God’s family.

“Twinkle lights are the perfect metaphor for joy. Joy is not a constant. It comes to us in moments—often ordinary moments. Sometimes we miss out on the bursts of joy because we’re too busy chasing down extraordinary moments."
- Brene Brown 

Take a moment to look back on your ministry to kids this year. What were your bursts of joy -- those small, uplifting moments that just reclaimed your purpose? We hope you can remember a whole bunch!

You've spent a lot of time with teenagers this year, so tell us this: how is being a kid today different from being a kid when you were growing up? Reply to this email and let us know!
