KidsPoint Devotional: (May Week 1)
BLOOM (Birth-Kindergarten)
This month in Bloom, we are talking about how God helps us do BIG things! Our memory verse for the month of April is “I know that God helps me.” Psalm 54:4, NIrV
This past Sunday (May 4th), we talked about Noah’s Ark. We talked about how God asked Noah to build an Ark and load every animal on the Ark. This was a HUGE task but Noah trusted God and God used Noah to do something BIG!
We encourage you to read Genesis 6:11-22 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 taking initiative and taking care of the needs of others. Our memory verse for this month is “None of you should look out just for your own good. Each of you should also look out for the good of others.” Philippians 2:4, NIrV
This past Sunday (May 4th), we talked about what it means to take initiative. We discussed that to take initiative means that when you see a problem or you see someone in need, you take it upon yourself to do something about it without even having to be asked. We talked about how Jesus took initiative to meet our GREATEST need; a restored relationship with God.
We encourage you to read John 3: 16-17 with your kids and discuss the following questions.

- What BIG task did God ask Noah to do?
- What did God put in the sky after the flood and what did it mean?
- Doing big things can be scary sometimes. How can we trust God to help us do BIG things?

- How can we take initiative and help others around us?

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. As we have been in a season of transition with KidsPoint, we have found ourselves being very intentional in prayer asking God what our vision should be for KidsPoint in the years to come.
We as a team, we believe that our kids are vital to the mission of our church, as well as the future of our communities. We have prayed about how to invest in the future of our kids and what that looks like on a practical level. As you know, at the beginning of each month, we send out a newsletter for KidsPoint. We do this because we want to ensure that all parents are actively involved in their child’s growing relationship with God. As part of our vision for the new 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, we will be 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
