This Sunday at 4REAL Worship
Whoops! Last week's email had this week's lesson! Last week we heard about Peter and John being taken to the Sanhedrin (Acts 3:-4:22). Bottom Line: Keep going because of what God has done
Following Jesus and carrying out the good work He left for us to do is an epic quest—a journey that none of us can complete on our own. That’s why this month’s theme is “Trek: Don’t stop, don’t give up God’s with you,” so kids can remember that God will help them on this grand adventure, every step of the way.
WEEK 4 - Paul Becomes a Believer / Ananias Helps Paul -
The model religious leader Saul travels to Damascus to arrest Jesus followers. But on the road, he has a dramatic meeting with Jesus that leaves him blind. When God sends Ananias to help restore Saul’s sight, Saul begins to see everything in a brand-new light. Instead of arresting Jesus followers, Saul preaches Jesus so persuasively that even a plot to kill Saul can’t stop him. This Week's Bottom Line: "God can help you see things in a new way."

Resources for Families- Sing the Scriptures
This summer whether it's while you're doing chores around the house or riding in the car, lift the mood and redeem the time by memorizing scripture with your kids! Studies have always shown that it's easier to memorize words when they're set to a melody. Below are just a few samples of music that has paired scripture with song. Everybody's musical tasted different, so check them out and see which suits your family best!
