As you deal with one another, you should think and act as Jesus did.

Philippians 2:5, NIrV

Live in Peace With One Another

Saul and Barnabas Romans 12:18 (Supporting: Acts 9:1-28)

Beyond Sunday

At a meal this week, have everyone at the table answer this question: “Who is the most challenging person to live in peace with? What do you need to do differently to live in peace with them?”

Tell your child about a time you saw them choosing peace and how much you respect and admire that.

While on the go, ask your kid: “Who would you describe as peaceful? What is it about them that makes them peaceful?”

“God, help us live in peace with everyone—especially those who are not peaceful towards us. Help us to be both wise and compassionate.

Registration is now available for participants, as well as volunteers!

During our True North VBS experience, we'll be guiding kids on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!

If you would like to serve on the team that prepares VBS, or volunteer to work during the week of VBS, please contact Pastor Chesna. We’ll meet twice a month now through July. Come be a part of the expedition team as we prepare to explore the wild world of True North!

Registration is now available for Summer Camp and Retreats at Disciples Crossing.
