WE ARE FAMILY: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON FAMILIES
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: God takes care of our families. 

SERIES OVERVIEW:

Every family is different, but there’s one thing every family has in common: no family is perfect. No matter what your family looks like, it definitely has its own unique quirks, traditions, jokes, feuds, and flaws. The families we read about in the pages of Scripture are no different. In this series, kids will be introduced to one ordinary family in the Bible that God chose to use in extraordinary ways. Eventually, this family became the family that brought Jesus into the world! In this four-week series about the family of Abraham, kids will learn that we can trust God with our family, God takes care of our families, God helps us be honest with our families, and God wants to help families heal.

Sometimes we think kids who have challenging behaviors are acting out because they don’t want to behave and obey. But what would happen if we looked at what’s really going on beneath the surface, and looked for ways we can help them? Here’s a video about Rethinking Challenging Kids. 

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