Encounter in the Hard Times

Has life ever gotten really tough?  Maybe you lost a loved one, some friends turned their back on you, or your parents lost their job.  Did you know you can still encounter God through those hard times?  Come to Jr. GAP this Wednesday night to hear from some people who have experienced this.  Bob Cleveringa will be the guest speaker.

**6th Graders are leading!**

Questions for Parents:
1.  What happened during the tough time in Bob's life?  How did he see God in that?
2.  What's been the hardest thing you've been through in life?  Looking back, can you see God in it?
3.  Share a difficult time in your life and if you see God in it now.

Encounter through the Waiting Times

Have you ever prayed for something, and it just isn't happening the way you thought it would?  Maybe the wait feels like it's lasting forever and God isn't hearing you.  Did you know that you can still encounter God through these waiting times?  That's what we're talking about at Jr. GAP tomorrow night!  Come to the Bus Barn at 6:30 pm!

Questions for Parents:
1.  What do you feel like you're waiting for right now in life?  Is there something you're praying about and not sure why God hasn't answered?
2.  Share a time in your life where you had to wait on God.  How did you encounter God through it?  How can you see His Hand looking back on the situation?
3.  Why do you think God makes us wait sometimes?

Special Easter Lesson

Get ready for a special Easter lesson at Jr. GAP!  We're going to be talking about how we are the bride of Christ, and the Easter story is His wedding proposal to us.  Get ready to take a look at the Easter story in a new way!

Questions for parents to ask:
1.  How did a wedding proposal work back in Jesus' culture?
2.  How does this fit with the Easter story?
3.  What did you learn about the Easter story, maybe something you hadn't thought about before?
4.  What was the "homework challenge" that Tracy presented?  Are you going to give it a shot?
