LIVE IT OUT: WITH JESUS WE CAN HELP CHANGE THE WORLD
Living and loving like Jesus sounds great in theory, but may be a little hard in practice. However, with the help of God’s Spirit, we don’t have to do it alone. When we follow Jesus, God’s Spirit transforms us, shaping us every day into who God has called us to be and how God is calling us to live. Live It Out is not JUST a theme, but a call to action. It encourages kids to actively live out their faith through their words and interactions with others. And the more we become like Jesus, the more we can make a true difference in this world and in the lives of those around us.

SUNDAY NIGHTS
Our goal is for every elementary-aged kid to be a part of a 2:52 Group and connected to an adult small group leader that is helping them discover who God is and understand how His virtues apply to their life. During the school year on Sunday evenings from 6-7pm for all elementary, it's a great and fun time for kids to connect and build relationships with each other, focus on memorizing scripture, pray together, and take the Bible lesson they learned in the morning to a deeper level.
SUNDAY NIGHTS WILL RESUME AUGUST 17 2025
GOD TIMES
These are excellent resources to help your children have some time with God each week and begin forming the habit of regular Bible study. There are four different devotions on each GodTime sheet. Each devotion is designed to be done on a different day. At 2:52 Groups on Sunday nights, we do the first God Time with your child, leaving them just 3 more to do during the week.
Each day’s devotion includes:
1. a verse(s) to read
2. a devotion paragraph that teaches something about God and an explanation of today’s verse(s)
3. an activity that makes real-life application of the day’s devotion
4. a suggested prayer.
K-3rd GRADERS
Even though kids in early elementary (Kindergarten through 3rd grade) are beginning to read things on their own, most are not mature enough to have a God time by themselves. We encourage you to do this with your children.
4th-5th GRADERS
Encourage kids to choose four different days during the week to do these devotions. Most 4th and 5th graders are capable of having a “quiet time” on their own, once they’ve been taught how to do it, but they still need an adult to prompt them and/or follow up on it.
GOD TIMES for each week can be picked up in the KidsWorld hallway.
