The Family Table

Dear LEFC Families,

It’s been a full Spring of ministry here at LEFC, and we’re just getting ramped up for a fun-filled summer! When planning your summer fun, be sure to include our LEFC fellowship opportunities on your calendar!

Men’s Breakfast

This Saturday, May 24th, at 8:00am men of all ages are invited to the Men’s Breakfast. That means kids, too! We encourage fathers and sons to head to the church on Saturday morning to enjoy fellowship with fellow LEFC men and a delicious breakfast. Bring something to share if you’re able!

Touch a Truck at the Good News Cruise

The Good News Cruise will be held on August 16th, and we’ll once again be incorporating Touch a Truck for the kids! Mark your calendars to join us for a fun-filled day!

Praise God!

Praise God for a fun-filled Mom’s Night Out on Friday. Moms enjoyed fellowship, fun, and laughter together. Pray for those who are not yet in a relationship with Jesus- that they would come to know him and that we were able to play a small part in that journey.

Family Bible Week Volunteers

Family Bible Week is fast approaching! This year’s FBW will be July 7-13. We will soon have a volunteer sheet in the foyer to sign up to help in various ways. If you’re thinking about helping out directly with the kids and don’t yet have your clearances and paperwork submitted to become a Family Ministries volunteer, see Jenni or Jordyn to get those started now!

Save the Date for Family Night

Our next family night will be June 6th. Save the date! Keep an eye out for more details coming soon!

“The Ark Was Captured” Kids Bible Class Devotional

You have free access to a family devotional based on the curriculum our kids are studying each week in KBC! It’s called “The Gospel Project at Home.” Today’s Bible Study is “The Ark Was Captured” (Volume 3: Unit 9: Session 3), and the devotional can be found at this link.

Visit the Family Ministries page on our website for information about how to access The Gospel Project at Home for the first time.

And for Dessert…

This week’s recommendation is a family devotional book that the Skacel family has been loving! The  Biggest Story Family Devotional guides your family through daily kid friendly devotionals. There are a total of 104 Bible stories included! Stories from Genesis all the way through Revelation help paint a picture of the biggest story ever told and how all of scripture points to the gospel. When paired with The Biggest Story Bible Storybook, kids get engaging pictures and a Bible story along with discussion questions for parents to guide their family through meaningful conversation.

One of our favorite parts has been that passages right out of the Bible are paired with Bible stories, allowing kids to both hear scripture straight from the Bible and a storybook retelling in a way that grips their attention. If your family chooses, there is also a link to a video version of the story that your family can utilize as well. There are also prayers included to help your kids learn how to pray through scripture and guide your family’s prayer time. We recommend gathering your family together at a time you are consistently all present: dinnertime, breakfast, bedtime, etc, to dive into studying God‘s word together!

There are lots more great resources from The Biggest Story for your family to enjoy, and some are free! Check them out!

We hope our families eat it right up!
