THE ESSENTIALS
ADVENT DEVOTIONALS
Christmas can become so busy, especially when you spend some of your time investing in the lives of the kids at Westwood. This year, enjoy this small gift from Westwood Kids to help you refresh yourself by spending time with Jesus!
Each week’s devotional follows a simple pattern of:
G – giving God 2 minutes of silence
I – interacting with a verse and a devotional thought
F – following up with a prayer
T – taking a Christmas symbol into your week
By spending just 20 minutes, one day a week throughout the Advent season, may your heart be opened to the greatest GIFT of all!
Digital versions of these devotions will be included in the weekly Team NEWS, or if you prefer, a paper copy of the entire set of devotions will be under the TV in the Kids Lobby starting on November 15.

THE LESSON PLAN
ON THE RIGHT TRACK
A 4-Week Series from Old Testament on JOSHUA
OVERVIEW Racers, start your engines! In a race, you might need to navigate obstacles, pit stops, and tight turns in order to stay on the right track. As you’re zooming through the track, there’s so much to think about and it can be hard to stay focused on what’s most important! In this four-week series, we’ll learn some important stories from Joshua about how obstacles are no problem for God and courage comes from knowing God’s words. No matter how long the race, God can use someone like you because with God, there is victory!
