Verse of the Week: Proverbs 4:26-27. "Watch the path of your feet and all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; Turn your foot from evil." Children Ministry Sunday Nights Kidzlife last night will be May 6 th as we break for the summer. In June on Sunday nights the children will be starting a new Study for the summer called Summer RoadTrip. Are we there yet??? The family road trip can be great fun, seeing the sights and spending time together. It can also breed complaining about cramped quarters and boredom. When the Israelites took a road trip to the land God promised them, they complained the whole way. They forgot that God has good things in store for us. Wednesday Nights Children In Action / Mission Friends (ages 3 5 th grade) CIA will continue throughout the summer on Wednesday nights as the children continue to learn, pray and do missions. The Missions Focus in May is about sharing the Good News with refugees in Las Vegas. Our Bible study for the month comes from Acts 8:26-40.
