The Family Table

Dear LEFC Parents,

Here are some items on the agenda for the days ahead:

The Gospel Project at Home

Today’s Bible Study is “Elijah Served as a Prophet” (Volume 5: Unit 13: Session 2). Ask your kids what they learned in children’s church this morning and/or do the family devotional you can find at this link.

Snack and Yack

Snack and Yack will continue throughout Pastor Matt’s sabbatical. When the auditorium empties after worship, girls and boys (grades 3-7) 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 one of the LEFC elders (and sometimes guest preachers?!) about the message. Parents, if you would like to help host the discussion by providing the snack, see Holly Crumrine to get involved.

Camp

Interested in attending summer camp at Miracle Mountain Ranch? Regular camp is for ages 8-18. Buckaroo camp, a minicamp, is for ages 6-9. See Marilynn Kristofits for more information.

Save the Date for Family Bible Week!

Family Bible Week will start on July 10th this summer! Make sure to mark your calendar, arrange your work schedule, and schedule your vacation with it in mind.  See Holly Crumrine to find out about this year’s theme and get involved in the advanced planning.

And for Dessert…

If you were at last year’s Family Bible Week, you know our new song of the year was “Gotta Know the Books“, which runs through all 66 books of the Bible three times over in quickening succession. (There’s also an instrument only version if you want to go pro level!) This is from an album called “Jesus Kids” by Shai Linne (available on YouTube Music and Spotify). While Shai has been recording albums since 2002, this is his first album specifically aimed at teaching kids theology and catechism through catchy beats. We love playing this in the kitchen and the car, getting some truths into all of our hearts in an easily-digestible format. We highly recommend, and plan to start exploring his other albums for adults as well!
