Finding Hope Together
We strive to find and share the  hope of God  in the midst of disruption and darkness. Let this season be a time of intentionality and growth in our relationship with God and with each other. As a church family, we do this  together . On this journey, we seek to be a vibrant family that connects and grows – many of these ways may be new and different to us. Please engage the below devotional. We are here to help you stay spiritually connected to our church family at this time.

Family Devotion - Movie Monday

This week we have a recommendation for both preschool and elementary school ages.
The themes in these selections relate to the theme for our Wednesday Night Worship. Both selections can be found in Rightnow Media by searching the title of the series and episode number. 

For preschoolers:
Cherub Wings #4 - Follow the Leader!
It is about 25 minutes long and includes several stories and illustrations and songs about call stories and people in the Bible that followed God and Jesus. The whole thing is fun and speaks to the theme of Who Can You Follow? If too long, however, you can skip to about 18:00 to hear the call story of Simon and Andrew and a song about the 12 disciples.   

For elementary kids:   
Superbook Series, season 2, episode #12 - The Prodigal Son
It is 27 minutes long and Joy, Chris & Gizmo lead you through the Prodigal Son story about forgiveness and love being bigger than anything bad we may do. We can always come back to Jesus and he asks us to forgive others too!  

We encourage all of our families to enjoy it together. Come, let us follow Jesus' example of kindness, love and forgiveness.
