WEEK 3 BIG IDEA:  JESUS GIVES ME ENCOURAGEMENT.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Grab your hiking boots and pitch a tent. It’s time to summit through the story of Jesus—who rose from death and gave us everything we need for our journey. This month, we’re learning about how the miracle of Jesus’ resurrection strengthens us and changes our relationships in the best way. Everyone will have a chance to put these ideas in their backpack to carry with them always: Jesus overcame death. Jesus connects us to each other. Jesus gives encouragement. We are stronger with Jesus.

We pray and hope that the kids in our ministry will becoming better kids but have you ever stopped to think if we are becoming better grownups? This whimsical, imaginative BOOK reminds us that sometimes being like a kid makes us better grownups. Give it a read and let's chat!

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