A Series on Ruth
Superheroes aren't heroic only when they feel like it — they're brave each and every day. The best heroes can even
inspire the people around them to be brave, faithful, and hopeful in their own lives, too. In this 4-week series, preschoolers will
learn more about what it looks like to see God as the hero of our story as they hear the story of Ruth and Naomi. They'll
see how God gives them companions, opportunities, boldness, and hope so they can be heroes, too!

In this month of giving thanks, it’s a great time to acknowledge the people and the experiences we sometimes take for granted.
Let’s also recognize the beauty around us, the experiences that help us grow, and the gifts we’ve been given.
Don’t forget that we can be thankful in all things- even the difficult things, which many have had this year-
because those help us become stronger and more grateful for the things we might have missed before.

StudentLIFE
A series on Generosity
Have you ever seen one of those random acts of kindness that tend to trend online? Maybe someone gives a
stranger an envelope full of cash or the keys to a free car. Maybe they pay off all their bills or cover their college
tuition. While these moments of "over the top" generosity can be inspiring, they're not things most of us will ever
be in a position to give away. But if we can't give away any brand new cars, what can we give that would make a
difference in the world?
In this four-week series, we'll see what the book of 1 Thessalonians shows us about loving
others through what we can give. We'll discover how to make a big difference by being generous with our time,
being generous by sharing the good news, being generous by caring for each other, and being generous with our encouragement.

Our #1 Parenting Resource:
Parenting isn't the big moments, it's every moment.
- Every parent has 936 weeks of influence from the time their child is born until they graduate.
- Your child spends 1 hour per week at church and 167 hours per week away from church.
- Those can be a daunting numbers, but meaningful faith moments don't just happen at church. Meaningful faith moments with your family can fit seamlessly into the daily rhythm of your life.
- We want to join you in the journey of learning how to make faith a part of your daily routine by being a constant presence with your kids in Next Gen, by teaching them Gospel truths, and by equipping you to do the same the other 167 hours of the week!
