SEPTEMBER 15 | TRANSFORMING WORK

"WORK IT!"

Many people either hate their job or simply endure it because they have to. Others become workaholics because they find their identity in an occupation or because of a deep-seated obsession with money. This four-week series discovers the Christian theology of work and what that means for those in the church today. While work can often seem like a four-letter word, God has formed us to create, build, and steward his creation. Our worship of God does not stop on Sunday but should continue into our workplace Monday–Friday.

SEPTEMBER PRESCHOOL FOCUS | LIGHT BRIGHT

In 1967, a new toy was introduced to the world, and on the box were these words: Create Beautiful Pictures With . . . Light. It was the LiteBrite®! The LiteBrite was an instant hit and has remained such a favorite for all these years that families are still having fun making pictures with light. This month, we’re talking about a different kind of bright light. We’re talking about THE light that God sent into the world to shine bright for all the world to see. And THIS light has a name. His name is Jesus! Each time we choose to love like Jesus, we become a bright light. Just like each LiteBrite peg lights up to make a picture, each and every act of love is a bright light that makes a beautiful picture for the world to see Jesus.

SEPTEMBER ELEMENTARY FOCUS | LIVE BRIGHT

Think back to a time when someone made time for you. Maybe that looked like caring for you when you were sick, teaching you how to tie your shoe, making food for you, or teaching you how to read or learn a new skill. No matter what it is, when people make time for us, it can bring us joy. It’s like a light shining on a dark day. Caring for one another isn’t always the easy thing to do, but it certainly is what Jesus asks of us. When Jesus gave the command in Matthew 5 to let our light shine, it wasn’t just to bring joy into each other’s lives, but also to bring glory to God. We are reflections of Who God is, and as we “Live Bright” this month, we’ll discover exactly how we can shine God’s light.
