Your week at a glance.

This men’s fellowship is a place for brothers to speak honestly about faith, work, family, temptation, pressure, and the responsibility of following Jesus in ordinary life. The goal is not to perform strength, but to practice faithful presence: listening well, telling the truth, and helping one another keep walking with Christ. Our first passage this week is Proverbs 27:17. Our second passage is Galatians 6:2. Together, these verses give the group a picture of Christian brotherhood: encouragement that is honest enough to sharpen, and compassion that is strong enough to help carry what is heavy. Before we meet, consider where you need sharpening and where you need support. The discussion will invite each man to bring one reflection, one pressure point, or one prayer request so the group can move from small talk into practical encouragement, accountability, and prayer.

Little Light is designed for kids and caregivers to learn together in a way that is warm, simple, and interactive. Children are not an interruption to spiritual life; Jesus treats them as people who can receive blessing, ask real questions, and belong in the kingdom of God. Our first passage this week is Mark 10:14-16. Our second passage is Matthew 18:2-5. Both passages show Jesus placing a child at the center of the conversation: welcomed, blessed, and held up as the picture of how anyone receives the kingdom of God. As you prepare, help your child think about what it feels like to be welcomed, listened to, and blessed. In the meeting, families will talk about Jesus’ welcome, practice naming ways we can include others, and give kids room to share their own examples in age-appropriate language.

Faith Around the Table helps families connect Scripture to the words, habits, apologies, and encouragements that shape life at home. This meeting focuses on how Christian households can practice compassion and patience when schedules are full, emotions are high, and people are still learning how to love one another well. Our first passage this week is Colossians 3:12-14. Our second passage is Colossians 3:16-17. The first passage describes the character a Christian household puts on; the second shows what fills the room when the word of Christ is welcomed into ordinary conversation, teaching, and gratitude. Before the meeting, notice one recent family conversation that could have been shaped by more patience, forgiveness, or gratitude. The discussion will help parents, caregivers, and family members prepare practical ways to speak words that build up rather than wear down.
