JULY 5 -- BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
We start off the month with something Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus. In Ephesians 2:8-9 we read, God’s grace has saved you because of your faith in Christ. Your salvation doesn’t come from anything you do. It is God’s gift. It is not based on anything you have done. No one can brag about earning it, (NIrV). When it comes to faith in God, everything, especially God’s gift of grace through Jesus, is a gift of love. All we have to do is accept it.
That's why our Bottom Line this week is: Jesus is a gift for everyone.
This is a simple yet powerful bottom line we pray sinks into the hearts of kids. There’s nothing we have to do to earn
our Salvation. We just have to accept God’s amazing gift of grace through Jesus. We pray this is a decision every kid will make at some point in their life; maybe even this summer!

"BE KIND TO YOURSELF By Sarah Bragg “I’m a failure.” “I’ll never get it right.” “I’m unlovable.” These are statements we would never say to someone we love, yet we freely say them to ourselves. And our kids do, too. It’s important for to help our kids learn how to speak to themselves like they would to a close friend. We need to help them learn compassionate self-talk. . . .
