Kids Club Lent Series Preview

Lent is a special time for Christians to reflect on the life of Jesus and the path He walked in obedience and surrender, leading to the ultimate victory of the cross and resurrection. This year in Kids Club, we’re inviting children and families to journey with us in a brand-new series called “From the Wilderness to the Cross.” This eight-week series will explore key moments from the Gospel of Luke, helping kids understand the story of Jesus in a way that is meaningful and inspiring for their lives.

What makes this series even more exciting is that it connects directly with the sermon series Pastor Faith will be preaching during Lent. As Pastor Faith explores these key themes with the congregation, your children will be diving into the same stories and lessons in Kids Club—helping your entire family engage with God’s Word together.

Our goal for this series is simple: to help kids grow in their love for God. Through the stories of Jesus’ ministry, His teachings, and His example of surrender, we’ll discover how following Jesus leads to life, hope, and transformation.

Here’s a glimpse at the journey we’ll take together:

• Week 1: “Prepare the Way: Clearing the Path for Surrender” (Luke 3:3-6)
  We’ll reflect on John the Baptist’s call to repentance, learning how clearing away distractions helps us prepare our hearts to encounter Jesus.

• Week 2: “The Compassionate Savior: Life in the Midst of Loss” (Luke 7:11-17)
  Jesus’ compassion for the grieving widow of Nain shows us how God’s love brings hope and healing, even in our darkest moments.

• Week 3: “No Turning Back: The Cost of Following Jesus” (Luke 9:57-62)
  Following Jesus is a commitment that requires surrender and focus. Kids will explore what it means to live with God at the center.

• Week 4: “Stay Awake: The Call to Vigilant Faithfulness” (Luke 12:35-40)
  Jesus challenges us to be ready for God’s plans, trusting His timing and living each day with purpose and faithfulness.

• Week 5: “Faith and Gratitude: A Heart of Humble Surrender” (Luke 17:11-19)
  The story of the ten lepers reminds us to live with faith and gratitude, humbly recognizing God’s blessings in our lives.

• Week 6 Palm Sunday: “The Triumphal Entry: Welcoming the King in Humility”        (Luke 19:28-44)
  On Palm Sunday, we’ll learn what it means to welcome Jesus as our humble King and trust His path, even when it leads to sacrifice.

• Week 7 Easter: “Victory in Surrender: The Empty Tomb” (Luke 24:1-12)
  On Easter, we’ll celebrate the ultimate triumph of Jesus’ resurrection, discovering how God’s victory brings us new life.

• Week 8: “Living in Resurrection Power” (Luke 24:13-35)
  In this final week, we’ll walk with Jesus on the road to Emmaus and reflect on how His resurrection gives us power to live with hope and share the good news with others.

Each week, kids will experience engaging Bible lessons, creative activities, and opportunities for discussion to help them connect these stories to their own lives. We’ll talk about what it means to surrender to God’s plans, live with faith, and grow in our love for Him.

We encourage families to take this journey with us! As Pastor Faith dives into these powerful stories during worship, ask your children about what they’re learning in Kids Club. Explore the stories of Luke together at home, and spend time reflecting on what Jesus’ journey means for your family. Lent is a wonderful time to grow closer to God and each other as we prepare to celebrate the joy of Easter.

We can’t wait to walk this meaningful journey with your children! See you in Kids Club!
