God can help you be content

​Dear RF Friends,
 
Our “word of the month” in RF for the month of November is “contentment.”  On Sunday, we started out in Philippians 4:11-13.  In this letter, Paul is writing to the church at Philippi to help them understand more about what it means to follow Jesus.  Paul shares how they can be content and even have joy regardless of their situation in life.  This is something that Paul had to learn from experience.  His example of contentment in the face of difficulty is a great lesson for all of us. 
 
Bottom Line:  God can help you be content.  We can’t promise kids that when they follow Jesus, everything in their life will work out just the way they want it to.  However, we CAN promise them that even if life isn’t okay, God can help them be okay with their circumstances.  We pray that no matter what kids are facing, they’ll learn to trust that God can give them what they need to get through it. 
 
On Sunday, the kids were also introduced to our Christmas Nativity play that we will be doing on Dec. 19th.  There are no new memory verses until after Christmas, so this is a great time to catch up if needed!  A reminder, too, that this coming Sunday, the kids will be doing a Thanksgiving parade with the items collected for Hope Rescue Mission. 
 
Blessings,
The RF Team
