Leader: Here, in this place, God welcomes all the dreamers, as well as the doubters:
People: Here, the worriers and wanderers can call on God by name.
Leader: Here, in this time, we can remember all the ways God has graced us:
People: Here, in these moments, we are reminded that God is with us, always!
Leader: Here are gathered those daring enough to step out of comfort into the unknown:
People: here, in this faith space, we will find the courage to cry out, “God, save us!” in every situation.
Leader: We gather together to worship God,
People: who comes to us when we least expect it,
Leader: who calls us out of the safety of our ordered lives
People: and invites us to join Him in the adventure of faith.
All: Let’s worship God together!
What do you think of when you hear the word adventure?
Something big? Something fun? Something completely out of the ordinary?
Adventures can be all of those things. But maybe more than anything, genuine adventures change our lives. They leave us with memories that last a lifetime and help us see the world in a brand new way.
That’s what makes Junior’s Adventures so important. While this Bible study curriculum is full of great stories and fun activities, it also has the potential to change kids’ lives. And since it’s designed to help children (ages kindergarten through fi fth grade)
learn how to handle money God’s ways, it can even transform a generation!
And you’re playing a huge role in making that happen. As a Junior’s Adventures
leader, you get the chance to invest in the lives of kids. That’s
awesome, and it creates a legacy that can move the needle for years to come!
Thank you so much for all you do—
and for partnering with us to bring God’s message about money to a new generation.
We appreciate you, and we pray that you’ll be blessed for choosing to bless others.
