MAY 3 -- BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
We start off the month in Matthew 28:16-20, Luke 24:50-53, and Acts 1:1-11 as we help kids discover more about the final moments of Jesus’ life on earth. Before He went back to His Father, Jesus gave His disciples a huge mission: tell the world about Him. The message of Jesus was for everyone, and it was their job to get the word out.
That's why our Bottom Line this week is: Keep going even when it seems impossible.
A lot can seem impossible to a kid, especially during this time when we have to stay at home. From learning to tie their shoes to reading paragraphs out loud in front of a group of people in a zoom classroom, to memorizing those multiplication facts, kids will face all sorts of moments when they feel like everything is too hard, too big, or too long to finish.
But that’s where God comes in. We pray that kids will start to understand that no matter what they face—impossible or not—they can trust God to help them through it.

"SHORT TERM WINS" By Carey Nieuwhof This month we’re talking about determination. Now, if you’re really going to help your kids value determination, you’re going to be swimming against the cultural tide. When it’s easy to quit, easy to change, and there are a thousand other options at our fingertips, sticking it out to the very end is difficult no matter how old you are. That’s why it’s so important to redefine the win for your kids. If you want to encourage them to stay determined for the long term, create some short-term wins . . .
