Closer to God Plan: 

All Christians desire, at some level, to grow closer to God. Christian parents desire, at some level, to disiciple their children. I invite you to join us for this 30-day plan using this bookmark with your child. They are located in the atrium and in The U (screenshot to get started today).  Day 1 is a video. After Day 30 a tasty reward awaits :-). It's a plan to KNOW God better and to ENJOY God more through the means He gave us. It's 30 days of hearing from God (Bible*) and replying to God (Prayer), which would be a great start to 2019!

*Recommended Study Bible for Students/Adults:  The Everyday Study Bible - A great translation (CSB) with helpful notes that's not too big to bring to church. They make it in Brown or Black for $17. We have a copy in The U if you'd like to see it before purchasing.
