Hi Reign Forest Friends,

Week 5 - Heaven We’ve reached the end of the story!
In Revelation, Jesus’ close friend John shares a vision given to him by Jesus. Much of this letter
is a challenge for believers to stay faithful because God will make everything right in the end.
For those who follow Jesus, there will be no more sickness or sadness, ever. In fact, it’s not just
the end of this story, but the beginning of a brand-new story: life forever with God!
Bottom Line: God will make everything right in the end.

Memory Verse (see below):
If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? Luke 15:4 NLT


For our memory verse challenge we are ending the year with memorizing Luke 15:4-7 (The Lost Sheep).
In class today, we had fun with a Left-Right passing game while reading The Lost Sheep story and played "Sheep Sheep Shepherd" (a variation of Duck, Duck Goose).
The Children ended their time doing a coloring page and hidden object search.
Attached below is the Take Home paper for this week. The new Bible memory verses should be in your church mailbox.

Have a wonderful week!

​Dear Reign Forest Friends,
 
On Sunday in Reign Forest, we heard the story of Saul's transformation found in Acts 9.  The model religious leader Saul traveled to Damascus to arrest Jesus followers.  But on the road, he had a dramatic meeting with Jesus that left him blind.  When God sent Ananias to help restore Saul's sight, Saul began to see everything in a brand-new light.  Not only was his eye-sight changed, his "heart-sight" was changed as well.  Saul saw the world in a whole new way.  Instead of arresting Jesus followers, Saul began to preach and follow Jesus wholeheartedly.  


Bottom Line:  God can help you see things in a new way.  We made some fun glasses in RF to remind us that God can help us see other people and ourselves the way that He does.  God can change our "heart-sight" to make it align with His and help us see things His way.  


Memory Verse:  Letter Y (yay! you can do it! :))  - Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.  Psalm 119:105 NLT


Have a great week!

​Hi Reign Forest Friends,
This past Sunday, we started a new theme of “Trek: Don’t stop, don’t give up—God’s with you". Following Jesus and carrying out the good work He left for us to do. This month's theme reminds us that God will help us on this grand adventure, every step of the way.
We looked at the story of when Peter and John meet a man who can’t walk for years at the Temple. When Peter heals the man through the power of the Holy Spirit, the religious leaders have Peter and John arrested. But when they question the men, Peter and John show that even though they’re ordinary men, they have authority from Jesus. And when the leaders warn them to quit preaching, Peter and John refuse to stay silent.
Bottom Line: Keep going because of what God has done.
Memory Verse: Letter W  - We love each other because he loved us first. 1 John 4:19 NLT  
Attached is this week's devotional.


Blessings,
