2023 WEEK 30 [ACTS 16-21] NOTES

“The Lord Had Called Us for to Preach the Gospel”

July 24 – July 30

This week we'll travel along with Paul and his companions on his second and third missions. Like the parable of the sower, Paul will plant seeds of truth in many types of soil. Some seeds will sink deep in good ground and change the hearts of entire communities. Other seeds will hit stony ground and struggle to take root.

On the creative side, we’ll care for our local missionaries with simple thank you card. Next, we'll chat about the power of small efforts by creating our own version of a Jacob's ladder toy. Finally, we'll test out a viral social media ice cream trend while we chat about soft and hardened hearts.
