We will have costumes, candy, games, and snacks just like the Fall Festivals in previous years. So, choose where your family would like to be on mission together:

Training will be provided on Sunday, October 23, 6pm in the east wing. We will help you explore having Gospel conversations. Child care provided for the little ones.
Sign up on the clipboards on the patio to let us know which Fall Festival your family will be participating at. Pray for God to help people know about Jesus as we serve together.
Great time Sunday night digging into what the Bible says about relationships. The kids looked first at Eph 5:21 and discussed what submit and reverence mean/look like. Ask your kids about our snack time.
Then we looked at what that means in families as we read Eph 5:22-6:4. A wife submits by showing respect to her husband. A husband submits by loving and serving his wife. Kids submit by obeying and honoring their parents.
Stephen lead us in a great discussion about Eph 4:32 Be kind and compassionate forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you. We talked about pushing buttons! This lead into Ramon guiding us through the Old Testament story of Joseph and his family. Ramon used the Big Picture Story Bible to help the kids see Eph 4:32 played out in Joseph’s life. We had a game using pool tubes to show how boundaries and forgiveness work together.
We ended our time with Prov. 27:17 As iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. The kids each made a prayer pillowcase to help them remember that prayer is one of our best tools to help sharpen one another. Ask your kids about what they wrote on their pillowcase and why? Help them pray for what concerns them.
Keep talking about redeeming relationships.
