Navigating a Broken World - October 26th
Navigating a Broken World: Choosing Friends This week’s Brite lesson (1 Samuel 20) is about David and Jonathan and the kind of friendship they had. Kids will see what it looks like to care about someone, stick with them and help each other follow God. Friendships can be tricky at this age. Some kids are still trying to find their people, and others are dealing with friendships that don’t feel great. This week, we’re talking about what a good friend looks like. Someone who is kind, honest and helps you make good choices. Take a few minutes this week to check in on your kid’s friendships. Ask who they like being around and how those friendships feel. It’s a simple way to help them think about the kind of friend they want to be and the kind of friends they want to have. Here’s how you can discuss it at home: Discuss: Share about how you met your best friend. Discuss: What are some characteristics of true friends? Discuss: What does God have to say about that? Say: Friendships are very important and are a gift from God. We can all think of friends who have helped us in many ways. But you can likely also think of friends you have had who have gotten you into trouble. 1 Corinthians 15:33 says: Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” In other words, if we spend a lot of time with people who aren’t living like God wants them to, we are likely to end up not making great choices as well. Our friends influence us a lot, so it is important that we spend time with people who help our relationship with God. It is hard enough to follow God’s plan in our lives. Imagine how much easier it would be if you had a friend group who encouraged that? Show love to all people, but be picky in who your closest friends are.

Navigating A Broken World - October 19th
Navigating a Broken World: Foster Care This week’s Brite lesson (1 Samuel 1–3) includes a moment that might feel a little confusing at first. Kids will hear how Hannah brought her son Samuel to live and serve at the temple as a way of keeping a promise she made to God. It’s a story that shows both her deep love for God and her deep love for her son. For some kids, this may connect to their own story, especially those who are in foster care or living with someone other than their parents. That can come with a lot of questions and emotions. This week, we’re reminding kids that no matter what their story looks like, God sees them, cares about them and stays with them. If this comes up at home, give your kids space to talk and ask questions. You can remind them that they are deeply loved and that God is with them in every part of their story. Here’s how you can discuss it at home: Discuss: What did you think about Hannah leaving Samuel to grow up in the temple? Discuss: Are there situations where kids live with people who aren’t their parents? Say: Sometimes kids live with other family members. Sometimes kids live in foster care, which means they live with another family because there is a reason they cannot live with their own. Discuss: What do you think God has to say about that? Say: God loves when families grow by including others. Psalm 68:6 says: God settles the solitary in a home. In other words, God puts those who are alone in families. Sometimes, kids end up alone because their parents are sick or going through a really tough time. God shows He cares by providing love during that really hard time. There were probably times when it was hard for Samuel to grow up in the temple instead of in his parents’ house. But God used the place where Samuel was to call him and to prepare him to be the prophet of Israel. God cares about every kid and is with every kid, no matter their situation. He can use the really hard things we go through in His plan for our lives.

Navigating A Broken World - October 5th
Navigating a Broken World: Divorce This week’s Brite lesson (Joshua 10, 13) focuses on an important truth—God always does what He says. In our Bible story, kids are learning that God can be trusted because He never breaks His promises. We know this can feel like a difficult topic for some kids, especially those whose families have been impacted by divorce. When life changes like that, it can leave kids wondering who they can really count on. This week, we’re reminding them that even when people don’t always keep their word, God does. Every time. As a family, take a moment to talk about one of God’s promises in Scripture and what it means in your life right now. Remind your kids that God sees their hurt, cares deeply about what they’re feeling and will always be with them, no matter what changes around them. Here’s how we discussed this topic and how you can discuss it at home: Discuss: What are some important promises that adults make? Discuss: What happens when adults who are married to each other don’t keep their promise to stay married? Discuss: What do you think God has to say about that? Say: God designed marriage to be between a man and a woman forever. But even after a husband and wife promise to stay married forever, they sometimes don’t. Some families go through a divorce, which is very hard for everyone. The Bible tells us that God doesn’t like divorce. He knows how much it hurts the whole family. But He always loves the people who are involved with the divorce. Some of you may have parents who are divorced, and you know how hard it can be. Our world is broken by sin. Moms and dads are human and make mistakes. Sometimes the adults we love don’t keep their promises. That hurts. We can turn to God and talk to Him about our hurt. We can also trust that He will always be there for us and always keeps every promise. Psalm 46:1 reminds us: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

October Monthly Overview
What’s Coming This Sunday: Brite Idea: God does what He says. The Israelites, led by Joshua, conquered Canaanite cities as God had promised. When several kings attacked a city named Gibeon, Joshua came to help. God told him not to fear and promised victory. Joshua prayed for the sun to stand still, and God answered, giving them more time to fight. The Israelites defeated their enemies, conquered more land, and Joshua divided it among the twelve tribes. The Promised Land became theirs, just as God said. Throughout the Old Testament, God promised hundreds of times that He would send a Rescuer who would save the people from their sin. God kept His promise by sending Jesus, a descendant of Abraham, to Earth to die on the cross for our sins. God promises that when we trust in Jesus for forgiveness of our sins, we will live forever with Him. He always does what He says.
