“Let’s Talk” will outline the upcoming lesson for each of our children and youth ministries. The goal is to make parents and church members aware of what our young ones are learning so meaningful conversations can be started and specific prayers can be offered to God. Sunday, September 27 FIRSTKIDS!: Today, we learned how Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal. True heroes, like Elijah, stand up for God. This is our final lesson in the Bible Heroes unit with our key verse being Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and courageous!” Youth Sunday School: We studied Genesis 1:26-28 by thinking about how we are created in the image of God and what it means for us to bear that image. We also read Acts 17:24-27 and learned how Paul used this Genesis scripture to teach Gentiles about our God. Chi-Rho/CYF: We will review the patriarchs of our faith and how their stories fit together. We will talk about how God is faithful to all of these people as he said he would be. We’ll then walk to the park to play soccer. Wednesday, September 30 St. Andrew’s Kids: Through the story of Sarah and Abraham having a child, we will learn that God sometimes surprises us, just like he surprised Sarah. God can do what is impossible for us and we can trust God to follow through on his promises.
