TRUE STORY: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON THE EARLY CHURCH
WEEK 4 BIG IDEA: Jesus helps us share His story.

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Everyone loves a story about a big adventure, don’t they? The best stories are stories of life change, big dreams, dramatic rescues, and journeys to far-away places. Those adventure stories are even better when they’re true stories! In this 4-week series, we’ll follow the true story of the early church. Kids will imagine they are explorers and adventurers as they hear the stories of Saul’s conversion, Peter and Cornelius, Peter’s escape from prison, and Paul and Barnabas’ missionary travels. By the end of this series, kids will learn and remember that Jesus changes lives, Jesus loves everyone, Jesus gives us freedom, and Jesus helps us share His story.

Good leaders notice other people. Be aware of what’s going on around you and the demeanor of the kids (and other leaders!). Look for people who may need extra grace or encouragement. Instead of  focusing on tasks, try to notice the people you’re around this week.

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