KidsPoint Devotional: (November Week 3) 

BLOOM (Birth-Kindergarten)
This month in Bloom, we are talking about how we can thank God for EVERYTHING!. Our memory verse for this month is “I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart” Psalm 111:1 NIV

This past Sunday (November 16th), we read about how God provided manna for the Israelites in the desert. We learned that God always provides for us and we can thank Him for everything He does for us!

We encourage you to read Exodus 16:1-7 with your kids and discuss the following questions. 
  • What are you thankful for this week?
  • God took care of the Israelites by giving them food. How does God take care of you?
  • How can you take care of others?

We encourage you to pray with your child after devotion.

UPSTREET/ROUTE45 (1st-5th Grade)
This month in UpStreet and Route45, we are talking about having confidence in God. When we follow God, we can have confidence that He is with us. Our memory verse for this month is “But those who trust in the Lord will receive new strength. They will fly as high as eagles. They will run and not get tired. They will walk and not grow weak.” Isaiah 40:31

This past Sunday (November 16th), we read about God rescuing Daniel in the lion’s den. We discussed that Daniel did not wait until he was in trouble to pray to God. Daniel prayed to God everyday and God honored Daniel by protecting him in the lion’s den. We learned that God is always with us and wants to have a close relationship with us everyday, not just when we need something. 

We encourage you to read Daniel 6:1-23 with your kids and discuss the following questions. 
  • Is it easy or hard for you to pray to God? If it’s hard, why is it hard?
  • How can you be more like Daniel?
  • What does this story teach us about God?

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
