Here are some wonderful stories about the impact of LifeWise in other communities. We thought you would enjoy reading them.

The other week, we asked if you had positive stories to share about LifeWise in your communities, and WOW were we blown away!🥺 These two from Megan and Nancy had us smiling. Thanks so much to everyone for sharing. More to come! We're so grateful for this community and mission.

“Now may the God who gives endurance and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, according to Christ Jesus, so that you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ with one mind and one voice."

And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ."

Ephesians 4:32

A mainstay in our LifeWise classes this year was prayer.

So it was fitting for our 4th graders to close out their year by praying!

Join us as we pray for all of our wonderful students throughout the summer.

We wrapped up another great year of LifeWise and our Tuesday classes finished with a fun day of games.

We treated them to donuts and juice and kept them active, as you can see from these photos.

We already miss classes and are looking forward to next year!

It’s always tough for us to say goodbye to our students for the summer. However, one thing that goes home with them at the end of the school year is the Word of God.

Here are our 3rd grade classes on the day they received their own Bibles.

They were so happy to receive their own Bibles to keep!

I waited patiently for the Lord; He turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in Him.

Psalm 40:1-3

Last week we shared pictures from some of our 3rd graders. They drew the “armor of God” after studying it in the Bible.

Today we bring you more 3rd graders and their “Armor” drawings. It’s so important for each of us to start the day clothed in God’s armor! It is such a blessing to be able to share this with our students at such a young age.
