Here is a letter we received recently from the Food Pantry.
Author: Scott Heitshusen (Page 58 of 92)
In September our Toddlers will learn to always trust God. Joseph not only had a colorful coat, he lived a colorful life filled with ups and downs. Through it all, Joseph learned to trust in God no matter what. Kids will learn they can trust God at all times.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 (NIrV)
OBJECTIVE: Preschoolers will say “I can trust God when bad things happen.”
Our new BridgeKidz curriculum for September is “What’s in Your Backpack?”, covering the following Bible memory verse and topics.
Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.
Jeremiah 7:23b
| Sept. 5 | Pencil | Pencils are used to make notes when the teacher speaks. Too bad we can’t do that when our friends need a listening ear. Being a good friend means listening, not speaking, and really hearing what someone else needs to say. James 1:19-20. “Be slow to speak, quick to listen.” |
| Sept. 12 | Notebook | We use notebooks to help us remember things. We need to remember to be unselfish and think of others ahead of ourselves. Philippians 2:3-11 |
| Sept. 19 | Folder | Having a folder helps us keep track of all that we’ve finished. We can remember to trust God when we look back at all the things He has done for us. Joshua’s farewell speech to the Israelites. |
| Sept. 26 | Ruler | Just like a ruler gives you a guide in centimeters or inches, the Bible gives you a guide for knowing God. A ruler lets you make a straight line. The Bible helps you live your life down a straight path. Proverbs 3:5-6 |
I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)
To trust someone’s word you must know and trust the person.
Paul reminds the Galatians of who he is as one God has chosen, the Church has approved, and who obeys God, even when it’s uncomfortable and difficult.
Contrast this with those who are trying to lead the Galatians astray and it’s clear who should be trusted!
Scriptures
- Galatians 1:11—2:14

The book of Hebrews is fascinating – both in what it contains and because of what we don’t know about it.
We don’t know who wrote it; or when; or where; or precisely to whom!
Yet through it we gain a deep knowledge of the Jewish understanding of Scriptures and culture and, most importantly, some of the greatest arguments for Faith in Jesus, who is far superior to anything else God has given or sent for His People!
We hope you’ll join us for this wonderful book and journey!
Sundays, 8:30 AM in the LifeBridge Café, starting September, 2021.
I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)
St. Paul’s letter to the Church in Galatia is one filled with love, confusion, hurt, and hope. In it we see his love for these people that he labored among and his deep love for them.
But they are being misled and told different things in his absence. A “different Gospel” is being propagated, nullifying his work and, more importantly, endangering their faith and salvation.
This won’t do!
Paul lovingly chastises them and remind them that a “different gospel” is really NO Gospel!
Scriptures
- Galatians 1:1-10
We are continuing our journey through the book of EXODUS!
Today: We take a look at the reconciliation needed in the aftermath of the Golden Calf incident.
