This Sunday at 4REAL Worship


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.

Meet Saul, now called Paul. After many years of traveling and starting new Paul has been arrested and sent to Rome for trial. Along the way, Paul faces a two-week storm at sea, shipwreck, and snakebite. But through it all, he continues to trust and listen to God. 

This Week's Bottom Line: "Don’t give up on God when bad things happen."

Father Son Retreat Recap!

What a great weekend at Camp Orchard Hill! The Huddle Up: Father Son Retreat provided the dads and boys with lots of intentional time to bond with one another and God. They were challenged to do as Paul directed in 1 Corinthians 16:13-14: "Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.  Let all that you do be done in love."
And, of course, they had a lot of fun!
Check out the video recap of the weekend below!

Do  you have a son? Are you looking for more opportunities and  resources to parent and disciple them? Stay tuned! We have an exciting new program for boys (and dads!) starting this September! 

Resources for Families- Sing the Scriptures

This summer, when 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 show that it's easier to memorize words when they're set to a melody. Below are just a few samples of music that have paired scripture with song. Everybody's musical tastes are different, so check them out and see which suits your family best!

Worship in the Word

Shane & Shane
Long time worship artists Shane & Shane have created a series of albums to help teach kids scripture. If you enjoy their music, you will find this to be a great resource for your family!
Sing the Bible with Slugs & Bugs

Randall Goodgame

Do you kids love all things fun and silly? Slugs & Bugs comes from the imagination of Randall Goodgame. Some albums are all scripture songs and others are a mixture of scripture and good old silly songs. Perfect for the family who loves to laugh while they learn!
