Do you love adventure? Do you get excited about exploring the unknown and encountering the unexpected? On our PRAYER SAFARI we'll embark on a journey into the pages of God's Word, and we'll discover the greatest adventure of all-getting to know God! Through exploring the Lord's Prayer, we will learn how awesome it is to talk to God every day and grow really close to our Father in Heaven.
Lessons From the Deep
In home base BLUE, we will take lessons from the deep BLUE Sea to discover the depths of God's love for us. You will hear some amazing fish stories and learn what it means to be in over your head and how God is a God of second chances. We will learn about God's lifeboat of salvation and the many treasures of the deep we can experience by being a child of God. So get ready and let's dive in?
True Identity
We all know our names and where we live, but what does the Bible have to say about us? Let's spend some time finding out who God says we are.
PEACE- It's a big deal to God.
He wants us to value peace as He does, to be peacemakers, and walk in the blessing of His perfect peace that passes all understanding. This week we'll be studying Psalm 34 to learn more about the bountiful peace He wants to give to and through us!
