VERSE OF THE MONTH
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
Colossians 3:12-13

Response time
For Families with Teens
After watching the video of God’s Story, use this video to help you respond to the story together. You will find all of your response items in a clear plastic envelope in your October Activity Bag. Our hope is your family will explore the devastation of how things fell apart when Adam and Eve sinned. You will use Isaiah 59:2-4 to reflect on the separation that began in the garden.
