✨ Last Week of LifeWise — What a Year! ✨

It’s hard to believe we've closed out our first year of LifeWise here in Johnstown already. Last week, our Johnstown students wrapped up the year with a special review game: “Building a Wall of Faith.” Each time a team answered a question correctly, they added a block to their wall — a fun reminder that we are helping students build a strong foundation of faith that will carry them through life.

We ended the day with delicious sugar cookies and lots of smiles. It was the perfect way to celebrate all they’ve learned.

This year, our Johnstown students reviewed 21 Bible lessons and explored 18 unique character quality traits — each one pointing them to God’s truth, God’s heart, and God’s plan for their lives. We are so grateful for every opportunity we’ve had to connect with your students and share the love of Jesus with them.

We cannot wait to see what God has in store for the coming year. Please be on the lookout for Enrollment details for the 2026–2027 school year — exciting things are ahead!

Thank you for sharing your students with us. What a blessing this year has been.

This week at LifeWise Johnstown, we dug into: Wholeheartedness — all about the Israelites building the Tabernacle and what it means to give God our very best.

The kids loved learning how God desired to dwell with His people, and how Jesus came to “tabernacle” with us too. Such a powerful reminder that God wants to be close to us.

To bring the story to life, each student created their own Ark of the Covenant! They used:
• Rice for the manna
• A toothpick for Moses’ staff
• Paper tablets for the Ten Commandments
• Gold glitter for the cherubim
• A piece of purple felt for the curtain

The craft sparked so many great conversations about God’s holiness and His desire to be with His people.

Grateful for another meaningful week with these amazing students. ❤️✨

This team is perfect for anyone who wants to support LifeWise but doesn’t have the availability to serve in weekly classes. Your ideas, creativity, and passion can help us connect with families, strengthen our community, and continue sharing the hope of Jesus with students.

LifeWise is 100% community supported, and this team plays a vital role in helping the program grow and thrive. If you love dreaming up fun ways to bring people together, this is your moment to jump in!

We are SO BLESSED to be growing!

This fall, we are prayerfully working toward adding JIS and JMS, which means we could be sharing the Gospel with K–8th graders right here in our community!

With this growth comes a very real need: a bus!
Reliable transportation is essential for safely bringing students to and from LifeWise classes — and without it, expansion simply isn’t possible.

We are thrilled to share that we recently received a generous $5,000 gift toward our Bus Campaign! While this is not a dollar‑for‑dollar matching donation, it is an incredible boost that helps move us closer to making this vision a reality.

We’re inviting our community to help build on this momentum. Every gift — big or small — brings us one step closer to providing safe transportation so more students can hear the Gospel each week.

Together, we can make this happen. ❤️🚌

Our LifeWise students learned about the Golden Calf this week and talked about truthfulness—choosing not to lie or deceive because God sees who we really are. We also asked them a fun question: “If you were left in charge of LifeWise like Aaron was… what would you do?”

Their answers absolutely made our day:

“I would make going to LifeWise every day!”

“LifeWise would be all day long!”

“Everyone would join us at LifeWise!”

It’s such a joy to see how much these students love learning God’s Word and being part of this program.

✨ What an Incredible Week at LifeWise! ✨

This week we welcomed 14 new students, bringing us to a huge milestone — 47 students now participating in LifeWise! We are so grateful for every single one of them.

Our time together was spent welcoming and acclimating our new students to the LifeWise classroom and schedule, while also reviewing everything we’ve learned so far this year.

To make it fun, the students jumped into a boys vs. girls trivia battle, answering questions from Genesis to Exodus, plus a special review of the greatest event in history — Jesus conquering death!

The students had an absolute blast, and we were blown away by how much they’ve retained. Their excitement for God’s Word continues to amaze us.

We’re celebrating all God is doing through these students and can’t wait for next week!
