Family time

Don't walk alone.

Bring the same conversation you have been having with Jesus home. You do not need a polished answer — just an honest one.

Your turn, kids — ask your parent(s)

  1. 1Where did Jesus meet you during these weeks?
  2. 2What is one rhythm we should keep doing as a family?

Kids, ask your parent: “What is one way Jesus met you during these six weeks?”

Pray together

Jesus, thank You for meeting us. Help us keep the rhythms that kept us near You, and give us courage to tell the story.

Celebration

Look what Jesus did.

Before you move on, look back. An encounter becomes easier to remember when you name it.

Tell your story

One sentence I can share: “I encountered Jesus when…”

Write my story

Keep it going

What will you keep doing after these five weeks so that Encounter becomes a way of life?

Daily rhythms

Keep making room.

  • Scripture

    Read slowly enough to hear, not only finish.

  • Prayer

    Talk with Jesus honestly and leave room to listen.

  • Worship

    Turn your attention and affection toward Him.

  • Memorize + Meditate

    Carry His words with you.

  • Fast

    Create space by laying something down.

  • Sabbath

    Receive rest as a gift, not a reward.
