What will we be learning about?
April Theme: Cookout – It’s Worth The Wait!
Virtue: PATIENCE—Waiting until later for what you want now.
Overview: Waiting is a part of life. Thankfully, we don’t have to wait on our own! Through the Holy Spirit, God can help us experience the patience we need to wait well. After all, God is patient with us. God is in control, and He knows what’s best for us. Even though God’s people had been waiting for years for the promised Savior, at just the right time, God sent Jesus. Because we’re created in God’s image, we can reflect God’s patience in our lives. We can be patient when we remember what God has done. We can lean on God’s Holy Spirit to give us the strength we need to trust God and show patience with the difficult circumstances in our lives.
Memory Verse:
“Wait for the LORD. Be strong and don’t lose hope. Wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27:14 (NIrV)
Bonus Verse:
“Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud.” 1 Corinthians 13:4, NIrV
Grade School Bible Memory Program: Truth Trackers
Kids in Grades 1-4 are invited to dig deeper into the Bible and discover the truth in God’s Word. Here’s how to get started on this great adventure!
Here’s How it Works
Every weekend, there are Bible verses kids can memorize in DiscoveryLand! Kids earn “Truth Tokens” when:
- They say the memory verse out loud to their leader
- Complete the weekly devotional handouts
- Bring their Bible to church
What kids can do with those hard-earned Truth Tokens:
- Spend them in the “Truth Trackers” Tuck Shop that will open every 2 months.
- Donate them to the DiscoveryLand offering project (see below for details) – a small group leader will give $1 for every donated token!
- Spend your tokens on tickets at a special Pizza Party event.
So, grab your Bibles … and let’s find God’s truth together!
Giving Back
We believe it’s important for kids to practice offering a part of what we have back to God as a thank-you for all He’s given us! That’s why we have seasonally offering projects that kids can give towards that fund, sharing hope and practical support with other kids and families in our community and around the world.
