Welcome

Hi Parents,

Sometimes life feels like a big puzzle—we don’t always see the full picture right away.

In our elementary series Puzzled: Seek and Find, kids are discovering that even when things don’t make sense at first, God is always at work—putting the pieces together for His perfect plan.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll follow the life of Paul and see how Jesus changes hearts, gives courage, and uses ordinary people to share the good news.

Why This Series Matters

Kids are constantly trying to make sense of the world around them. Through these stories, they are learning that even when life feels confusing, God is present and working.

As they see Saul’s transformation and Paul’s bold faith, they begin to understand that following Jesus changes us from the inside out—and gives us purpose in how we live.

This Month at Home

Use this simple rhythm anytime over the next few weeks. It only takes a few minutes.

Ask: “How did God work in this story?”

Notice: Jesus changes hearts, helps us trust Him, and gives us courage to share His good news.

Pray: “Jesus, thank You for changing us and being with us. Help us trust You and be bold in sharing Your love with others.”

Read (Optional):

Pick one of these short passages based on the week:

April 19: Acts 9:3–6 (Saul meets Jesus)

April 26: Acts 9:20–22 (Paul begins to preach)

May 3: Acts 16:25–34 (Paul and Silas in prison)

You can read just a few verses—no need to cover the whole story.

Parent Tip: You don’t need a long conversation for it to matter. One simple question can help your child connect Sunday to real life.

Weekly Car Ride Questions

Use one question each week—on the way home, at dinner, or before bed.

April 19 – Saul Sees the Light

Do you think God can change anyone—even someone who makes really bad choices?

April 26 – Paul’s Great Escape

Who is someone you could tell about Jesus this week?

May 3 – Paul and Silas in Prison

Why do you think Paul and Silas kept trusting God even when life was hard?

Parent Tips

Keep it simple
You don’t need long conversations. One meaningful question can go a long way.

Ask before you tell
When your child shares something, ask one more question before explaining. This builds connection and helps them process.

Look for small moments
Car rides, mealtimes, and bedtime are often the best opportunities for spiritual conversations.

These small moments are where real faith begins to grow.
