Growing in Wisdom and Faith
Kids in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade engage in interactive Bible stories, games, and music, learning to make wise choices, trust God, and treat others with kindness. Friendships are built, and faith is deepened through fun and fellowship each week.
What We're Learning - October 2024
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN self-control and god's character, as shown through god's big story
There are a lot of choices that we need to make in life. Some of those choices can help us grow and shape us positively. Others can pull us in different directions, leaving us struggling to figure out which choice is best. What do we do when we're confronted with all of these choices? Do we rush ahead? Or do we pause and let God lead us toward the best way to act? Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit. It's one of the ways we can tell that God is transforming our lives and that we're growing in our faith. Thankfully, we don't have to find self-control on our own. When we follow Jesus, God's Spirit is with us and helps us make the wise choice.
