Family Conversation Starter

We want to help you start a conversation with your kids today about what we learned in church. Every week, you can find an overview of what we learned and discussion questions here. On the way home from church or around the table this week, use these questions to start a conversation together as a family.

This week, kids learned about a church leader named Paul who reminded Christians in Colossians 3 that a relationship with God through Jesus means we are made new. Jesus helps us live new lives where we love God and point others to Him. When we follow Jesus, God makes us new—new in how we think, act, and love. That means no matter what mistakes we’ve made or how we’ve felt in the past, God offers a fresh start and helps us live in a way that shows His love.

Is there something you’d like to change or do differently in your life?

How can trusting God help you live that new way?

Water Baptism

There is not a perfect age to be baptized, however, as children get older the more deeply they will understand what baptism means and be able to remember their baptism for their whole life. We recommend kids be in grade 5 or older before they start exploring the opportunity to be baptized. If you believe your child is ready to be baptized please contact Pastor Danae at [email protected].

To talk to your child about water baptism, here are some helpful tips on How to know your child is ready for baptism.
