Our junior high LifeWise students have been busy highlighting Bible verses, memorizing Scripture for lunch drink upgrades 🥤, and receiving Bible verse magnets for their school lockers! 📖

Students also learned the meanings of their names, including Jesus, which means “The Lord saves!” ❤️

Thank you for this week’s lunch - delicious pork fritters from Steidinger Meats, prepared by The Coffee Steamer. 😋

At LifeWise, we read the Bible, discuss the lesson and reinforce learning thru games and crafts. Take a peek at some moments from the last 2 weeks!

🌎✨ Creation Week at LifeWise! ✨🌎

This week, our classes learned about Creation—and one question came up quite a bit: “Who made God?” 😄

One class wondered if maybe God “evolved during the dinosaur age”… and they were surprised to learn that He was there before the earth was even created—and He made it all!! 🦕🌍

Then a student in another class gave the perfect answer: “He always was and He will always be!” ❤️

Also this week, every 4th grader received their very own Bible! 📖 Now they can open it up and read Genesis 1:1 for themselves: “In the beginning, God created…” 🙏✨

✨That’s a wrap on our first week of LifeWise! It was wonderful to be back in the classroom, meet all of our new and returning students, pray together, and start learning about the best-selling book of all time: the Bible! 📖

✨Had our annual LifeWise Appreciation Lunch & Training today for our Volunteers, Teachers, and LifeWise staff! It’s getting exciting - we have an amazing team, ready to share about an Amazing God!! ✨ (we will be tapping into some Amazing Grace all along the year, too!)

Love Jesus? Love kids?

Imagine being part of a ministry that reaches students during the school day. Kids learn God's Word alongside the friends they see every day, and those conversations continue long after class is over.

We're looking for Classroom Volunteers, Substitute Teachers, and Activity Bus Drivers to help make Bible education possible for local students.

God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. If you've been looking for a way to invest in the next generation, we'd love to talk with you.

Learn more at lifewise.org/prairiecentralil, or contact Paula Kelson at [email protected] or text or call 815-692-3526.

We heard a powerful message backed by statistics from George Barna, multiple other speakers including Joel Penton (the LifeWise founder), and heard how LifeWise hit 1,000 schools! Praise God, for His word keeps spreading and changing lives!
