THE NUMBERS ARE IN 🙌
But this is about so much more than numbers.

Because behind every number is a child discovering their purpose.
Behind every lesson is truth being planted.
Behind every prayer is a God who hears and moves.

We are so proud.
So grateful.
And so expectant for what’s next.

LifeWise Ansonia, THIS is something special.
Only God! ❤️

A little midweek refresh ❤️💛

Today we surprised our Ansonia teachers and staff with a LifeWise Hydration Station.

Shelby (Program Director) and Stephanie (Lead Teacher) helped bring it all together as a small way to say thank you, because we see the way this staff pours into their students every single day and we just wanted to help refresh what they pour out.

We’re so grateful for them!… And a couple of our LifeWise students who helped deliver drinks with friendly faces 😊

Our last LifeWise lesson of the year… and it was a good one ❤️💛

We spent the day coming back to the simple truths we’ve been talking about all year, truths we don’t want students to just hear, but really hold onto: that they are known, loved, and chosen by God, that nothing can separate them from Him, that they can live like Jesus every day, and that God gives them the Holy Spirit to help.

And just like always, we didn’t just sit and talk about it. They experienced it. From holding affirmations of who God says they are, to a tug of war reminding them that God never lets go (honestly, one of my favorite moments and happy to report no volunteers were injured in the process 😂), to walking through real-life situations and realizing that living like Jesus almost always comes down to one simple choice: love. And watching them race to piece together John 14:26 and realize they’re not doing any of this alone.

There’s just something about this group of kids. The way they show up, the way they engage, the way they’re starting to understand who they are and who God is, it’s been such a gift to witness.

We say it a lot, but it’s true! While they’re learning, we are too. There’s something really powerful about getting to be part of what God is doing in their lives.

We’re going to miss our Wednesdays with them. Already looking forward to next year, but until then, we’ll be praying for these kids, and that these truths don’t just stay in the classroom, but go with them wherever they go.

Last week, we talked about something foundational; we are a part of God’s family and He calls us "Child of God." Not just something we say, but something we are.

This week, we took the next step:
Because we are God’s children… how do we live like it?

Across every grade, we focused on stewardship, using what God has given us wisely. Because being in God’s family isn’t just about belonging. It’s about living it out.

Our K–3rd graders geared up in a big way. They made faith shields and stepped into the Armor of God, learning that the battles they face aren’t just physical. They’re spiritual, too. We practiced what it looks like to “raise our shield” against lies, temptation, and fear by holding onto what’s true about God.

Our 4th–5th graders really lived out life in God's family... with a good old fashioned Family Game Night, where every game pointed back to how we live. In Connect 4, students saw that winning takes connection, and in life, we can’t live the way God calls us to if we’re disconnected from Him. In Uno, they were reminded that when things don’t go our way, how we respond reveals our character, and stewardship means choosing self-control and kindness in those moments. In Jenga, they saw how what we build our lives on matters. Ignore things like love, wisdom, and self-control, and it may look steady for a while, but eventually it falls. And in Operation, we talked about how everything changes under pressure. It’s harder to do the right thing when life feels stressful, but God has given us His Spirit to help us, and even when we fail, we are forgiven and can respond differently next time.

This is exactly what Peter was getting at when he wrote that God has already given us everything we need for life and godliness. And it’s what Paul was pointing to when he described the Armor of God: God has already equipped us. It’s not about trying harder or becoming someone new, it’s about growing into what God has already placed inside of us.

Our prayer is that what they experienced today doesn’t stay in the classroom, but shows up in how they live this week.

This week was all about belonging; helping students understand what it means to be part of God’s family.

Kindergarten connected the whole story from Abraham to Jesus, seeing how God was working through every person we’ve learned about. We even dressed up (chef, police officer, and more!) to talk about names and identity, which led us to Jesus: who He is, His earthly family, and that He is God. Then we brought it home, because of Jesus, we are called children of God. Each student stood up and said it out loud “I am a child of God!” (and yes… we practiced a lot of patience along the way 😊)

1st–5th Grade brought that same truth to life through hands-on stations. Students made “Hi! My name is.... Child of God” name badges, walked through a heart-to-cross demonstration showing how Jesus takes what’s broken and makes us right with God. Next, they named real struggles (fear, mistakes, pressure) and sent them flying over the net, declaring "Nothing can separate us from God’s love."

Our 4th–5th graders went even deeper, talking through identity, sin, and what it really means to live from the truth of who God says they are, with a focus on gratitude for what Jesus has done.

We wrapped it all up with family portraits, because that’s what families do. We take pictures to remind us we belong together. And that’s exactly what this week was about.

When students can see it, say it, and experience it… truth sticks.

Reminder for tomorrow: have your student wear their LifeWise shirt, we’ll be taking “family photos!” 📸

All year long, our students have been learning about the many people God called and cared for throughout the Bible. Through every story, we’ve been discovering a bigger truth, that God is a loving Father who invites us to belong to His family.

Tomorrow we’ll celebrate that in a fun way by capturing some special “family” photos with our LifeWise crew. We can’t wait to see everyone in their shirts and smiling big!

Our kids have been learning Hebrews 11:1 (CSB) and seeing faith come alive through stories like Jonah’s obedience, Daniel’s courage, Jesus’ death & resurrection, His ascension, and the Great Commission. These aren’t just classroom lessons. These are stories that can inspire conversations at home, help your family see God’s promises in action, and encourage trusting Him in everyday life.

Parents, you can bring these lessons home too! Ask your child what story stood out to them, talk about a time you’ve had to trust God, or memorize the verse together as a family.

These simple moments can help your kids see that faith isn’t just for Wednesday’s at LifeWise or Sunday mornings in church. It’s for every day. Take a moment together to talk about these stories, ask questions, and celebrate how God is at work in your lives!
