Christmas Break is Almost Upon Us!

I knew it was bound to happen. It took three units, but it finally happened. I forgot to post this week! So, I apologize that there was no Week 5 of Ezekiel this week! Thanks for your grace and forgiveness!

Can you believe that we're almost to the end of 2017?!? Each year goes by a little faster. Or so it seems. In just a few days your kiddos will be out of school and there will be lots of time for fun and family and silliness. Here are some things you can use for some of your family fun the next few weeks. And, don't forget to join us a t church on New Year's Even from 7 p.m.-whenever you decide to leave for some fun and fellowship!

The Word of God: Ezekiel, Week 4

This year in FamilyQuest we'll be studying the word of God. We'll learn how it came to be, study some of the books of the Bible, and even study some of the bigger concepts found in the Bible.

Let's face it, there are some books of the Bible that are just harder to read or understand than others. Ezekiel is probably one of those books for most people. It's a book about a prophet, asked by God to do some strange things, but he chose to trust God and obey by doing what was asked. No matter how weird it might have seemed to him or those around him.

Here's some more information on teaching your kiddos about the book of Ezekiel:

Memory Verse
This unit's memory verse is Ezekiel 3:10: And he said to me, “Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you."

We don't have a song that goes with this verse (but, thankfully, it's short, so it shouldn't take too long to learn!), but we do have a song that will help us understand the importance of God's word as it points us to Jesus: Agency D3: God's Son

The Psalms: Week 5

This year in FamilyQuest we'll be studying the word of God. We'll learn how it came to be, study some of the books of the Bible, and even study some of the bigger concepts found in the Bible.

In this 5-week unit we'll be studying the book of Psalms. This book, a collection of songs, has the most chapters of any books in the Bible. Many of the Psalms were written by King David, but there were many other authors, as well. Come join us each week as dig into a different Psalm.

Here are some options for books/devotionals that will help your family dig into the Word even more!
