We've got a brand new series starting this week! Can't wait to dive into this conversation with you and our kids.

Here are a few things coming up in our ministry . . .

TAKE THE LEAD: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON THE JUDGES
WEEK 1 BIG IDEA:  EVERYONE CAN BE A LEADER.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Leaders take the lead. Like a drum major leading a marching band or the grand marshal at a parade, leaders are out in front showing others the way. Legendary leaders of the Bible like Deborah, Gideon, Samson, and Ruth will help kids see what leadership looks like and how they can become great leaders too. Young leaders will grow this month learning that God gives me courage to lead, helps me learn from mistakes, and gives me leaders I can follow. Everyone can be a leader, let’s take the lead together.

Let's talk about how we can help kids become a little bit more compassionate, aware, and brave enough to do something about the wrongs in the world around them. Here are a few ideas.1. Point out injustices you see in an age-appropriate way. 2. Ask for their perspective. 3. Point out wrongs that are being made right. 4. Do something together to help make one of those wrongs just a little bit more right.

If you're subscribed to Grow Your Ministry, now would be a good time to attach Volunteer Tip Video #11 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!

We consider our volunteer leaders to be the best link we have between our church and your family. So here's a question: How often have you reached out to parents this school year? Hit Reply and let us know!
