Grace Kids
In this week’s Bible story, another prophet named Zephaniah was sent from God to tell the people to repent. The book of Zephaniah serves as a stern rebuke on God’s people and a warning regarding their failure to return to him faithfully. It also serves as a reminder of God’s expectation of holiness and a description of what that looks like when faithfully lived out among God’s people. Pray for our kids to repent and live in such a way that others know they belong to God.
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.
