A series about Esther
Can you imagine if Esther and Mordecai were spies sent on a mission to infiltrate the palace and thwart Haman’s plot to harm the Jewish people? It might sound like a stretch, but God was working behind the scenes the entire time, even though God’s name is missing from the official records! In this 5-week series, kids will learn that God gives me a mission, nothing will turn me away from God, I can stand up for God and others, I can follow God even when nobody’s watching, and God can send me to make peace.
Monthly Memory Verse:
"The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good."—Proverbs 15:3 (NIV)
LittleLIFE is also working with our older Preschoolers and Kindergarteners to start learning the New Testament books of the Bible.

God is With us!
No matter what exciting things might be going on around us, God is the “Main Attraction”! Each Bible story ultimately points back to God’s presence and purpose. We can learn more about Him and who He is. The Bible stories this month reveal that God is always with His people. Even in times of human failure, God’s presence remained steadfast, showing that He is not confined to a place or dependent on human actions. No matter what our circumstances are, God is with us.
Monthly Memory Verse:
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. (Psalm 46:1)

Spiritual Habit:
If we want to grow spiritually, we need to be engaged in healthy community and godly
relationships with others — with people who share our beliefs, as well as with people who don’t.
This is why our spiritual habit as we continue the school year is: Spending Time with Others!
KidLIFE experiences will weave this spiritual habit into our time together in small groups in multiple
ways over the next few months as we learn how spending time with others helps us grow in our faith.

A series on the Old Testament Prophets and Kings
God remained faithful to His people, even when they turned away from Him. After freeing Israel from slavery in Egypt, God made a special covenant with them—they promised to follow His commands, and He promised to be their God. But Israel broke that covenant again and again, worshiping false gods and forgetting who they were called to be.
Through the prophets, God warned His people that their choices would lead to consequences—exile and the loss of their temple. Yet even in their disobedience, God never gave up on them. He promised to restore them, to give them new hearts filled with His Spirit, and to bring them home.
The stories we will learn this month will point to the gospel: God still pursues us, forgives us, and transforms us from the inside out. He’s faithful, even when we wander.

A series on Loving like Jesus
Have you ever found a playlist that felt like it was made exactly for you? When music connects with us, we'll want to
play the songs on repeat because we never get tired of hearing them. When Jesus taught his followers what it looked
like to live for God, he wanted them to get that same feeling, too. In this 4-week series from the book of Mark, we'll
take a look at how we can make loving like Jesus a daily part of our lives. He shows us that
listening, loving others, caring for their needs, and offering encouragement are worth repeating.

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!
