What's Happening in BK: September 15 - 21

Wednesday (Grade K - 5)
6:30 - 8:00 pm

We continue in the unit I Am Uniquely Designed with the lesson "God Made Me Valuable" from Luke 15:1-7 (Parable of the Lost Sheep). Kids will learn the story Jesus told about a shepherd who left 99 of his sheep to search for one lost sheep, celebrating and rejoicing when he found it. Jesus told this story to teach us that God made us valuable—so valuable that he gave his Son, Jesus, to rescue us from sin and make a way for us to have a relationship with God.

September Memory Verse: "Yet Lord, you are our Father; we are the clay, and you are our potter; we all are the work of your hands" (Isaiah 64:8).

Berean Café (5:15 - 6:30 pm): The Berean Café is open on Wednesday nights 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: chicken parmesan sandwich with chips, loaded potato soup, chicken strips (two sizes), crispy chicken wrap (choice of dressing), crispy chicken garden salad, dinner salad, deli sandwiches, pizza, nachos, and pretzels.

Sunday (Birth - Grade 5)
9 am & 11 am 

We continue in the unit The Maker’s Workshop with the lesson "Joseph and His Brothers" from Genesis 42-45. Kids will learn that after his brothers sold him into slavery and he landed in prison, Joseph ended up second in command of all Egypt. He was put in charge of preparing food for a coming famine. His brothers came to get food for their families. They didn’t recognize Joseph. He tested them before revealing who he was. The brothers were terrified Joseph would punish them, but Joseph told them that what they intended for evil, God used for good. The family was reunited, and the brothers learned that God had used Joseph’s terrible circumstances to save the people.

September Memory Verse: "This God—His way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true" (Psalm 18:30a).
