Grace Kids
We learned last week that Jesus has all power and control to stop a storm. Just by speaking, he was able to calm the wind and the waves. This Sunday, our kids will be taught about another miracle Jesus did and how this miracle also proves Jesus is God. They will hear about a group of friends who did everything they could to get their friend to Jesus because they believed Jesus could heal him. (Matt. 9, Mark 2, and Luke 5)
The man who was paralyzed needed to be healed. Jesus did something even greater; Jesus forgave his sins, and then he healed the man. Because Jesus is God, he has the power and authority to heal and forgive. Jesus forgives everyone who trusts in him.
Please pray for our children to believe only Jesus has the power to heal their sinful hearts and forgive their sins.
Opportunities to Disciple Our Kids
Opportunities are available on Sunday mornings and mid-week. If you’re interested in partnering with us, email us at kids@gracebaptist.org for more details.
AWANA 2023-24 Registration is OPEN!
The Awana curriculum helps kids, ages 3 years through 12th Grade, grow with God from small to tall. We use it as a tool in discipling children to belong to, believe in, and become lifelong followers of Jesus. Each week children and youth have fun playing age-appropriate games, learning from God’s Word through large-group Bible teaching, and memorizing Bible verses in a small-group setting.
