Grace Kids
Last Sunday, our kids studied the passage in Acts 2 when Peter was filled with the Holy Spirit and shared the Gospel with a crowd in Jerusalem. The power of the Holy Spirit was at work in the hearts of thousands who heard Peter’s message, and they believed in Jesus. After they were baptized, the new believers came together and formed a church. The Holy Spirit had changed their hearts to desire to read God’s Word, pray together, help others, and continue to meet together. This Sunday, our kids will be taught from Acts 3 and see that Peter continued to be obedient to Jesus’ command to share the gospel and how he healed a man. In the power of Jesus’ name, Peter healed a man who was lame. Peter and John showed God’s power and pointed to a greater, spiritual healing found only in Jesus.
Please pray for our kids to understand that the same power that enabled Peter to restore this man’s ability to walk is the same power that is at work to redeem and restore the hearts of people today. The Holy Spirit gives us the power to turn away from sin and obey God.
Mark your calendars:
Summer Adventure will be June 24-28, 2024.
Volunteer registration begins April 1, 2024.
