“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!
If you understand and believe that God is the Creator, who created you in His image, you cannot help but live with purpose!
Purpose is one of the five core values of a Lightglider. To live with purpose means to live with the belief that your life matters. As Lightgliders, we believe that our lives are both valuable and meaningful because God made us in His image. Our lives have worth and dignity that no one can take away. If the Creator of the universe took time to create you, then guess what–you are here for a reason! To live with purpose means to live every day with this strong belief.
In Lightglider Academy, we rescue Gliddles, clear the blight, and try 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 an adventure filled with 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, Treehouse Jumping! 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.
