​Hello Friends,


In Reign Forest on Sunday, we ended the month of March in 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 with the early church.  Arguments had broken out and sides were taken as the believers struggled to come together.  Paul wrote to them, encouraging them to use their differences as they work together to tell others about Jesus because their gifts work best together.  Just as our bodies are made up of many different parts, so the body of Christ is made up of many different people each with unique giftings and roles to play in pointing others to Jesus.  Everyone is needed and valuable in the body of Christ!  


Bottom Line:  Work together to point people to Jesus.  When we work together , many people will have a chance to see Jesus' love in action.  Accomplishing Jesus' mission for the world is a HUGE undertaking.  However, when we practice working together, we can help others and show them Jesus along the way.  


Bible Memorization of the Books of the Bible (Old Testament).  This week we are adding seven more books.....Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I & 2 Samuel, 1 & 2 Kings.  
We played and sang this song in RF on Sunday... Bing Videos   Feel free to use it as a tool in learning the Books of the Bible!  


Have a great week!

COOPERATION is about working together to do more than you can do alone.
WEEK 4
Hello Friends!
This past week we turned to Luke 5:17-26. Here we encountered four friends and their cooperation to help another friend see Jesus. Their friend was paralyzed and could not walk, so they did everything they could to get him to Jesus — even tear down a roof! Because of the four friends’ faith and cooperation, Jesus did something incredible, changing the life of the man who was paralyzed, forever.
Bottom Line: Work together to help someone in need. Some needs may seem intimidating or too big for you to truly make a difference — and they very well could be if you tackle it alone. However, when you cooperate with others and work together, you have a better chance of making a lasting impact on someone else’s life.
 
Today we began learning the books of the Old Testament.  We learned that typically your Bible does not have the books ordered chronologically but instead they are in categories.  The first category is “The Books of the Law”.    Your child should have brought home a “Books of the Bible” book mark.
Memory Verse: The first 5 books of the Old Testament

1. Genesis
2. Exodus
3. Leviticus
4. Numbers
5. Deuteronomy 

Have a great week!

​Hi Reign Forest Friends,

Week 3
In week 3, we head to Nehemiah 1–4; 6:15, where Nehemiah and the Israelite people face a HUGE problem. They had returned home to Judah where the city walls
had crumbled. Nehemiah rallied the people together and led them to work together to rebuild the wall in just 52 days!


Bottom Line: Work together to solve problems. Have you ever been stumped by a problem and no matter how many times you faced it, couldn’t figure out a way to solve it? Sometimes all it takes is another pair of eyes. When you work together with someone else, you can do BIG things, just like the people of Israel did in our story.

Memory verse: Last week, March 9th, the last verse of Psalm 100 was introduced. This Sunday, no new verse was introduced. We will resume with our Bible memorization on Sunday March 23rd. Please encourage your children who are memorizing scripture to use this week to catch up on any verses or Bible passages they might have missed.

Attached below is the take home paper for today.

Have a wonderful week!

​Hello Reign Forest Friends,


We start the month in Luke 5:1-11, 27-32; 6:12-16; 8:1-3. Here we see Jesus has started His ministry by gathering His disciples together. This was the most unlikely group of people, all from different backgrounds, but Jesus still called them to bring about His mission.
Bottom Line: Jesus wants us to work together. Sometimes it may feel easier to work alone than with others, especially when you don’t agree or get along. But those moments are exactly when we need to learn how to cooperate with others. Just as Jesus gathered a group of VERY different people to help Him accomplish His mission, we too are created to work together, differences and all.
Memory Verse:  Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
                                go into his courts with praise.
                               Give thanks to him and praise his name.
                                                 Psalm 100:4 NLT


It is a joy to see how many kids are working hard and memorizing these Bible passages. We will finish up Psalm 100 next week. After this, we will start learning the Books of the Bible, Old and New Testament. Thank you for working with your child and helping them memorize God's Word!


Attached is this week's devotional.
