“For through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can’t see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him.” - Colossians 1:16 (NLT)
Hi Lightgliders!
Our theme verse this week makes it very clear – we were created for God! If you believe this, you cannot help but live with purpose! To live with purpose means to live with the belief that your life matters. It is one of the five core values of a Lightglider.
Your life is both valuable and meaningful because God made you in His image. He made you for a purpose. He made you to be His!
In Lightglider Academy, we rescue Gliddles, clear the blight, and seek to help others any way we can. Look around you. The world is in need and you were uniquely created to make a difference! Each day provides us a new opportunity to live a life of great purpose!
Glide On!

Here are some activities for you to do and questions to reflect upon this week in Lightgliders. Do these by yourself or with a family member!
• Read Colossians 1:15-19 in the Bible. What do these verses have to say about Jesus?
• What does it mean to be “created through him and for him?”
• In what ways do you live with a sense of purpose?
• In what ways do you want to positively impact the world?
Use your Lightgliders Journal to answer these questions!
• Play the Game of the Week, Laser Squad! Everyone on the leaderboard this Saturday gets a prize!
• Watch the Spark and Prayer Videos
• Use the Mystery Code - PURPOSE - to receive a surprise in your inventory!
Dream of ways to shine this week. Here are some suggestions!
• Help someone in need! Look for ways to be helpful - carry a friend’s backpack, hold the door open, or cheer up someone who’s feeling sad. Just like rescuing Gliddles in the Yonders, you’re making a real difference!
• Do your best at school! Whether you’re solving a math problem or cleaning up after art class, give your best effort. Living with purpose means showing up every day ready to learn and grow!
• Pray for someone today! Ask God to help a friend, teacher, or family member. Prayer is one way to live with purpose and show that you care about the people around you.
Join us for Prayer Time with Penelope – Wednesday (5:30pm EST / 4:30pm CST), and Friday (4pm EST / 3pm CST)! We’ll meet at the Prayer Circle, which is north of the Track.
• Monday: Join moderators in Mission Control at 5pm EST / 4pm CST to gather in groups and go on multiplayer missions together in the Yonders!
• Tuesday: If you are new to Lightgliders in the past month (or even if you’re not), join moderator Hazel for Lightgliders 101 at 5pm EST / 4pm CST! She’ll have fun prizes and a Glideon-wide scavenger hunt waiting for all new Lightgliders.
• Wednesday: Let's play some games in Lightglider Academy at 6pm EST / 5pm CST! Join moderator Primrose today for a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors in the Academy!
• Thursday: Join us for Bible Chat in the Library at 6pm EST / 5pm CST to discuss this week’s theme and verse!
