KidsPoint Devotional: (November Week 5) 

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 30th), we read about how David danced before the Lord. We learned that there are many different ways to praise God. We can sing, dance, serve others, or simply by being kind to one another. We have so much to be thankful and praise God for!

We encourage you to read Psalm 111:1 with your kids and discuss the following questions. 
  • What are you thankful for this week?
  • How do you like to praise God?
  • How can you praise God this week?

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 30th), we read about God calling Nehemiah to rebuild the walls of the temple. We discussed that even when we feel like we are not equipped to do something, God gives us exactly what we need. God will always give us people to help us and the tools we need as long as we are obedient to what He is asking us to do.

We encourage you to read Nehemiah 2:1-17; 6:15-16 with your kids and discuss the following questions. 
  • What do you think God is calling you to do? It could be talking to a new person at school, volunteering, meeting a need for someone else, etc. 
  • What do you need in order to do what God asks you to do?
  • How can you be obedient to God this week?

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
