Dear Family Text
After Pentecost the early church grew in numbers, but they also faced lots of challenges. And the Holy Spirit continued to work in amazing ways.
During the next six weeks, our group will be living into some of those exciting stories from Acts. I hope you will also take time at home to marvel at these stories with your child, to wonder what they mean for your lives, and to live into them together. Your set of God’s Big Story cards* will help you do that together.
Here are the stories we'll be covering:
Ananias and Sapphira
Stephen’s Story
Simon the Sorcerer
Tabitha
Peter’s Vision
Peter’s Rescue
During these six weeks, we’ll also be memorizing Acts 1:8 together. You may want to make that a challenge for your whole family! Consider purchasing a copy of the DwellSongs Year 1 CD on the Leader Support page at DwellCurriculum.org. It contains a great rap version of Acts 1:8 called “You Will Receive Power,” which you can also download individually.
