This week, kids got connected in community as they learned they could cheer on their friends. A follower of Jesus named Paul wrote a letter to encourage other followers in a placed called Philippi. In Philippians 4, Paul told them following Jesus wouldn’t be easy, but they could encourage and cheer on each other. When we cheer on our friends and remind them about the love of Jesus, it helps all of us love and follow Him. Create a fun cheer with your family, saying, “I love Jesus! Do you love Jesus?” and inviting them to say it back. Keep going and end with everyone saying, “We all love Jesus!” GET CONNECTED!

Join us tomorrow morning for our Family First Worship Sunday. We believe our children need to be a part of corporate worship and see their parents worship. We know it’s messy and challenging, but so so worth it. “Children pay special attention to their parents.

Bringing our children into worship lets them observe the importance and delight of corporate worship in the life of their parents. If they aren’t in worship, they won’t ever see that delight, and few things have greater effect on our children’s spiritual lives.” - JASON HELOPOULOS (The Gospel Coalition) Read this for more reasons why it's important for our children to join us in worship: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/let-the-children-worship-in-church/
