📚ADD TO YOUR LIBRARY 📚
In addition to reading stories from the Bible each Sunday, we also read a book together that reinforces what we’re learning. This month, we’re reading “What is the Bible?” by Valerie Carpenter. If you’re looking for a faith-based book to add to your child’s library at home, you can learn more about this month’s book HERE!
NAMES OF GOD
This year, our NextGen ministry is learning about the names of God. This month, we’re focusing on the name Jehovah-Raah. Jehovah-Raah means “The Lord is my Shepherd.” As you pray for your toddler this week, pray they’ll remember God loves them and guides them.
Dear God, thank You for loving us. As my child grows up, I pray they’ll get to know you, Jehovah-Raah, and begin a personal relationship with you. Please help them become aware of how You love them, guide them, and care for them. We love You, God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
