SEPT AT A GLANCE:
MORE INFO:
BACK AT THE CPAC!
This Sunday we will be back at the CPAC at 10:00 a.m. as we gather to lift up the Name of Jesus through song and art, as we share a celebration video of the month of August (Family Retreat, Baptisms, and more), as we spend time praying over our kids and students as they have headed back to school, as we return to Jesus' powerful teaching in the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew 7:21-23, and as we are intentional to encourage and pray for one another. We look forward to seeing you Sunday!

Canvas Kids and Grade 5/6 Club
God's Family:
Families are messy. And I’m not just talking about the awkward conversations at the Thanksgiving table when politics or parenting styles come up. Our families see the best and worst in us, and throughout the Old Testament, God’s family was no different.
When God called Abram (later renamed Abraham) and promised that his descendants would outnumber the stars, He knew this family would be far from perfect. God knew Isaac and Rebekah would show favoritism to different sons. He knew that when faced with desperate hunger, Esau would make a foolish decision. And He knew Jacob would trick his way into a birthright and blessing that weren’t rightfully his. But still, God made the promise, and still, He kept it.
Because when God looked at Abraham’s family, He didn’t focus on the worst in them. As a loving Father, God looked at them and saw His kids. He saw that despite their shortcomings, they were a part of the bigger story He was writing.
In His endless mercy, God didn’t merely take this messy family and redeem it. He made this family the very vehicle through which He brought redemption to the world. He made them His family. And through Jesus—a son of Abraham and the Son of God—we too are a part of the family. So when our loving Father looks at you and me, it isn’t the worst in us He sees. He just sees His kids.
Continue to disciple your kids at home by following along with the WonderInk Curriculum.
