KidsPoint Devotional: (October Week 3)
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 26th), we read about Abigail and her bravery! When David and his men asked Nabal for food in exchange for helping him with his sheep, Nabal was not happy. A huge fight almost broke out between them! Abigail’s courage helped her step in and provide food gifts for David and his men!
We encourage you to read 1 Samuel 25: 1-3;25:9-19, 25:23–24; 25:32-35 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 26th), we read about the Kings in 1 & 2 Kings. We discussed how some of them made good choices and some made bad choices. We learned that our choices matter and what decisions we make have an impact on us and on others.
We encourage you to read 1 Kings 15:25-26; 15:33-34; 16:29-30 and 2 Kings 18:1-3 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
