STANDING BETWEEN WHAT WAS AND WHAT WILL BE
“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.”
— Lamentations 3:22–23
There’s something sacred about the end of a year.
We stand in a thin place, between what has been and what will be. Behind us are moments we cherish and moments we’d rather forget. Ahead of us is a future we cannot fully see.

January Themes
Pre-K ~ A Baby and A Bush
Elementary ~ Wisdom
Hey Parents!
Our January Pre-K RidgeRunners theme is "A Baby and A Bush" We're learning through the story of Moses how God made us to do big things for him and that we can grow in strength by obeying his commands every day.
Bible Point: How can I do big stuff for God? I obey God more each day!
Key Verse: "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much..." Luke 16:10a
This January in Elementary RidgeRunners, we're learning how to make wise choices and how God loves to help us grow in wisdom!
Car Talk:
1. Why is making wise choices important to you?
2. What is harder for you to say: “I’m sorry,” “I was wrong,” or “You were right”?
3. Tell about a time you said something you wished you could take back.
Memory Verse: “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5

Summit College Ministry connects and supports our college-age young adults by providing a bridge between their involvement in on-campus ministries and The Ridge. With that in mind, many of our studies and activities are scheduled during school breaks, but with a few more students and young adults in town, we will be adding some opportunities during the semester as well.
High school graduates ages 18 through 25 are invited to Summit events. Sam Lord is our college ministry coordinator under the direction of Nathan and Autumn Carr.

Please Join Us In Prayer
We invite you to lift up the following individuals and families in prayer this week:
Prayer & Celebration
Gabbie Watson – Please pray for Gabbie as she begins her second of three to five chemotherapy treatments. We ask for effective results, minimal side effects, and the comforting, steady presence of the Lord to surround Gabbie and her family. We also give thanks for her strength and for God’s faithfulness in each step of this journey.
Charleigh Kate Alana Graham – We joyfully celebrate the birth of Charleigh Kate Alana Graham, born December 28, 2025, at 6:48 p.m. CT, to her parents, West and Abby Graham. Being a little early, Charleigh Kate is spending time in the NICU and has needed some oxygen support, but she is doing great and has already been weaned off some support—praise God! Please continue praying for her continued strength and healing, and for Abby, who is recovering well after delivery.
If you have a prayer request or know someone who does, please email Andy at andy@theridgecolumbus.com.
