Because of the inclement weather last week we will wrap up the last week of January this week ! Friendship Kids have had an amazing time making a game plan to grow stronger in their faith every day.

While choosing to follow Jesus is the most important decision a kid can make, it’s only the first step! Learning to live and love like Jesus is a lifelong journey that can feel big and abstract for kids. That’s why it’s so important to provide handholds for kids (and grownups!) to grow in four specific areas of spiritual formation. We call these Faith Skills: Hear from God, Pray to God, Talk about God, and Live for God. Last month we walked through all four skills as displayed in the life of Jesus. This week we will learn the importance of practicing living for God by looking at the story of Jesus choosing Matthew (Luke 5:27-32) The bottom line for this week is: Practice living for God... Just like learning a new instrument or skill, it takes commitment and a game plan to follow Jesus. But as kids learn to spend time daily practicing Faith Skills, even for a short time, they will become more and more like Jesus.
