KidsPoint Devotional: (July Week 1)
BLOOM (Birth-Kindergarten)
This month in Bloom, we are talking about how God shows us how to love others the same way that Jesus does! Our memory verse for the month of July is “Be kind and loving to each other” Ephesians 4:32, NCV.
This past Sunday (July 6th), we talked about the importance of forgiveness. We talked about the time that Jesus forgave Peter after Peter denied that he knew Jesus. We discussed that forgiveness is not always easy, but it is important to forgive others because God forgives us.
We encourage you to read Matthew 26:69-75 and John 21:15-17 with your kids and discuss the following questions.
We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.
UPSTREET- (1st-5th Grade)
This month in UpStreet, we are talking about living like Jesus. Our memory verse for this month is “Our God is a God who strengthens and encourages you. May he give you the same attitude toward one another that Christ Jesus had.” Romans 15:5, NIrV
This past Sunday (July 6th), we talked about how if we want to live like Jesus, we have to forgive just as God forgave us. We discussed how important forgiveness is, how Christ set the ultimate example for us on how to love by forgiving others.
We encourage you to read Colossians 3:12-13 with your kids and discuss the following questions.
We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.

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
