Every Sunday morning we have separate teaching for our JRYs. Once worship is over in the main service and kids are dismissed, the grade 6-8's go upstairs into their own classroom for teaching, discussion, and some games.
Easter is a great opportunity to remind your middle schooler of what Jesus said and did to show us real love. In this month's 3-week Easter series titled This is Real Love, we'll remember and celebrate how Jesus' life, ministry, death, and resurrection are all demonstrations of that real love. As you talk to your kid this season, focus on bringing those things to life, not just as stories but as real events that really happened to really demonstrate Jesus’ real love for us.
Memory Verse
This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins. ---1 John 4:10 (NLT)
