God's World This Week

This week, April 20, we continue the Lydia story. This week we explore the question, "How do our families act together to be with God?" In the Lydia story, Lydia and her whole family, and the jailer and his whole family, accept Paul's story and follow Jesus. Their hearts are opened together. Kindergarten through 5th grade will explore how our faith can be a part of our family life and vice versa, and continue developing their Lydia story boxes, adding in materials about families.



Preschool children will experience their one-day "My Church" milestone on Sunday, April 20, during the God's World time, and will be recognized during the second service.

Next week we explore the question, "How do we respond in faith to our neighbor?"
