A series about Christmas
Many families hit the road during the Christmas season, whether it’s to visit loved ones or take a much-needed break. It’s a time-honored tradition—one that might even be traced back to the first Christmas when a bright star dropped a pin on a special location to guide people to the birthplace of the Savior. In this series, kids will learn that God gives people to guide us, God gives hope to guide us, and God gives a Savior to guide us.
Monthly Memory Verse:
“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” — John 8:12b (NIV)

God is A Promise Keeper
When sin entered the world, God made a promise to His people to send a Savior who would redeem them. Our great God did not leave us to our sin but kept His promise! This month we are celebrating the fruition of that Genesis promise. Jesus is our forever King, Messiah and Rescuer. The stunning beauty of the Christmas season is that God is the promise keeper who sent the greatest gift of all, Jesus!
Monthly Memory Verse:
For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(Isaiah 9:6)
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
(Isaiah 9:6)

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 Jesus' Birth
Christmas is one of those holidays that feels timeless. The traditions, music, and made-for-TV movies not only
connect us, but also the other parts of our lives. It's a season that invites us to be nostalgic and think about memories
from Christmases past. In this series from the Gospels, we'll take a look at the Christmas story to see how
something we may have heard long ago can still help us grow today. As we reflect on these classic stories, we'll
remember how Christmas reminds us Jesus is our Savior
and that God can be trusted, to rely on each other, and to trust that God is with us.

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!
