What Kids Will Learn This Week: April 13-19

WEDNESDAY LESSON: Controlling My Words (James 3) 
Kids will learn that God cares about our words because what we say shows what is in our hearts. In our Bible lesson, a man named James wrote a letter to Christians explaining the connection between words and faith. In James 3, he wrote that our tongues have the power to praise or curse God and to build others up or tear them down. God can work through our words to show His love and share truth with others. When we struggle to control our words, we can ask God to help us. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT MEAL: The Berean Café is open on Wednesday nights (5:15 - 6:30 pm) and offers café drinks and food for purchase. Skip the drive-thru and take advantage of the meal Berean provides! This Wednesday night's menu options include: spaghetti with meat sauce, chicken dumpling soup, chicken strips (two sizes), crispy chicken wrap (choice of dressing), crispy chicken garden salad, dinner salad, deli sandwiches, pizza, nachos, and pretzels. 

SUNDAY LESSON: Jesus’ Return is Promised (Acts 1:1-11) 
Kids will learn that after Jesus died on the cross, He appeared to His disciples many times. He stayed with them for forty days, teaching about God's Kingdom. Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. Then He ascended into heaven. Two men in white told the disciples that Jesus would return one day in the same way that He left. The disciples prayed together in Jerusalem, awaiting the Spirit’s arrival.
