The Family Table

Dear LEFC Parents,

Here are some key items to set the table for disciple-making in your family in the week ahead:

Welcome Home, Challenge Crew!

This morning we heard from our group that went to Challenge ’24 about their experience. Challenge Rewind is a YouTube channel dedicated to sharing messages delivered at the conference. Parents, you  might want to (re)watch them with your teens and discuss what they learned and how they can apply it to their lives now that they are home.

Family Bible Week Is Almost Here!

FBW ’24 is right around corner. “Break Rock Beach” will be a fun-filled week where kids (and adults) are challenged to recognize the difference between the lies (or half-truths) of culture and God’s unchanging truth. Adventure awaits each day as kids explore tidepools, spot orcas, fly kites, and watch the mighty waves crash up against the immoveable Breaker Rock! As always, we’ll be having dinner at 6:00 nightly for all ages followed by music, classes, crafts, missions projects, and games. FBW starts on July 22nd!

The Gospel Project at Home

Today’s Bible Study is “Paul Was on Trial” (Volume 12: Unit 35: Session 2). Ask your kids what they learned in Kids Bible Class this morning and/or do the family devotional you can find at this link.

Snack and Yack!

When the auditorium empties after worship, girls and boys (grades 3ish-7ish) who listened to the sermon (remember to fill out a handout!) are invited to Pastor Matt’s office for a tasty treat and a brief discussion with an LEFC elder couple about the message.

And for dessert… 

Our recommendation for family discipleship this week is the complete first two seasons of the Tiny Theologians Podcast, including the new Q&A bonus episode.

Last autumn, we recommended this podcast as Tiny Theologians began sharing the adventures of siblings TJ and Tory as they learned a full alphabet of God’s attributes. From “A for All-Knowing” to “Z is for Zealous,” this dynamic young duo have made it all the way across 26 short and fun stories introducing preschoolers and early elementary kids to who God truly is.

Tiny Theologians recently celebrated their 1 millionth download! Little ones and their parents are obviously finding it to be a helpful way of learning about God’s perfections. They have announced a third season that delves into the names of God–something to look forward to!

To celebrate this milestone, they have released a special Q&A episode where children from all around the world ask the kids who play the children on the show a long list of recorded questions (fun to hear the accents of the kids from around the world!) and then the real-life TJ and Tory give their answers.

We hope your little ones eat it right up!
