KidsPoint Devotional: (October Week 2)
BLOOM (Birth-Kindergarten)
This month in Bloom, we are talking about how to be brave and trust God in what He is asking us to do. Our memory verse for the month of October is “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid... for the LORD your God goes with you” Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV
This past Sunday (October 12th), we read about David and Goliath. We discussed that even though David was very small, he knew that God would make him brave and help him defeat Goliath. We learned that God can use ANYONE as long as we are brave and trust God!
We encourage you to read 1 Samuel 17:20-50 with your kids and discuss the following questions.
We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.
UPSTREET/ROUTE45 (1st-5th Grade)
This month in UpStreet/Route45, we are talking about having wisdom to see things the way God sees them and how to act on what God is revealing to us. Our memory verse for this month is “It is much better to get wisdom than gold. It is much better to choose understanding than silver.” Proverbs 16:16 NIrV
This past Sunday (October 12th), we read about David and the Psalms that he wrote. We discussed that David was known as a man after God’s own heart because of how close he was with God. We learned that in order to walk in the wisdom of the Lord, we must also be close to God and go to Him with ANYTHING we feel.
We encourage you to read Psalm 1:1-4 with your kids and discuss the following questions.

A note from the KidsPoint team.
Hello Parents!
We are so excited for all that God has in store for us this year, not only in KidsPoint but as a whole at BridgePoint. We believe that our kids are vital to the mission of our church, as well as the future of our communities. As part of our vision for this year, we want to partner with you, parents, to help incorporate more biblical practices in the daily life of our kids. We want to be intentional in teaching our kids how to take real ownership of their relationship with God and we believe that begins in your home.
Starting this year, KidsPoint is sending out weekly devotions and discussion questions for you and your kids. These devotions will be short but they will coincide with what your child is currently learning in KidsPoint. We encourage you to take some time throughout the week to sit down with your kids and discuss what God is teaching them and how they can apply it to their everyday life. This could be at the dinner table, in the car on the way to a sports game/practice, or even before bed. Our hope is that these devotions will assist you in helping foster your child’s relationship with God every day, as well as challenge them to dig deeper into their faith and in God’s word.
We look forward to all God has in store for you and your kids as well as our entire church family!
“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
Sincerely,
The KidsPoint Team
