Theme This Week: THE FAR GREATER STORY
Hey Lightglider!
The goals of a Lightglider are to respect, rescue, and restore. We seek to RESPECT those around us. We go on missions from Lightglider Academy to RESCUE the Gliddles from the clutches of the Machines. And we clear the blight to RESTORE the land to its original beauty, purpose, and goodness. Did you know that this points to a far greater story?
The Bible reveals God as the ultimate respecter, rescuer, and restorer? He respects us as His image-bearers by giving us dignity and purpose. He rescues us from the grip of our sin and selfishness through the death and resurrection of Jesus. And He promises to restore our broken world one day and allow us to live forever with Him. This is the far greater story of God’s love for us!
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!
Monday
• Watch the Spark video in green called An Example to Follow.
• What is your favorite Bible story about Jesus and what can you learn from it?
Tuesday
• Read LGA News in red to see what’s happening inside Lightglider Academy this week.
• How can we best learn about and imitate God’s love?
Wednesday
• Watch the Prayer video in orange called Why We Love.
• Why is the cross the ultimate example of love?
Thursday
• Compete as a family in the Game of the Week in purple called Machine Blitz.
• What is your favorite family memory and why?
Friday

• What would you make sure to bring to a family picnic?

Glide On!

Hey there! Welcome to Lightgliders. My name is Kwan, and it’s my job to make sure you’re outfitted, trained, and ready for action. And that starts with you learning just what a Lightglider is!
Lightgliders are defenders of good, a force of kids just like you that shine in the darkness and help out those in need. Right now, the land of Glideon is in need!
For unknown reasons, a mysterious gooey substance called blight is spreading all over the land. At the same time, strange Machines have started appearing, kidnapping lovable creatures called the Gliddles! It’s up to us to clear away the blight and stop these Machines!
If you are here on a computer, click “Enter Lightglider Academy” to access the full Lightgliders experience. You’ll battle Machines, rescue Gliddles, clear blight, meet other Lightgliders, and much more.
If you are here on a mobile device, play minigames, watch videos, create postcards, and read messages. As you do, you will build up light to use on your missions to the Yonders! Everything is color-coded, so make sure you learn what the colors mean. Let me try to help!
Everything in Purple is a Game. There are lots of minigames inside Lightgliders.
Everything in Green is a Spark. These are short video stories to encourage a value or biblical principle.
Everything in Orange is a Prayer. These are short prayer videos to do on your own or with a family member.
Everything in Pink is a Postcard. Customize these and send them to your friends!
Everything in Red is a Message. These are articles about Lightgliders gameplay, the weekly lessons, Bible studies, and more. (Fun fact: You are currently reading one!)
Everything in Blue is LGTV. These are gameplay videos to encourage learning and laughter.
In time, you’ll learn more than just skills for battle and adventure. You’ll learn about the Far Greater Story found in the Bible, the story about the God who loves you more than you could possibly imagine. As Lightgliders, we seek to RESPECT, RESCUE, and RESTORE every day because that is what God has done and is doing for us, in us, and through us. You were made to use what He has given you to help a world in need. You were made to shine!
Welcome to Lightgliders! Let’s glide!
Glide On!

Hey Lightglider!
It’s that time when we remind you what it means to be a Lightglider. Put simply, Lightgliders are people who know with all their heart that they were made to shine! Yes, you do cool things as a Lightglider. You rescue Gliddles, battle machines, and clear blight to restore the land. If you have been on a mission to the Yonders, you know it is a lot of fun. But, it’s so much more than that!
Lightgliders seek to live each day motivated by hope, purpose, and love. We understand that our story in Lightglider Academy points to a Far Greater Story, the story of God’s love for us found in the Bible. And when we understand that story and our place in it, we cannot help but shine. Every time you put the needs of others before yourself, you are shining light in the darkness. You are being a Lightglider!

We are discussing “Gliddle Principles” here in Lightglider Academy. This week we’re learning about responsibility! Responsibility is about doing things with such excellence that you are found to be trustworthy. It starts with the little things like cleaning up after yourself, but it can lead to big things like overseeing Lightglider missions to the Yonders. In what ways do you show yourself to be a responsible person? I show it through my work in the Innovation Lab. I do the best that I can, with what I have been given, knowing that being responsible in the little things leads to greater responsibilities to come. All of the leaders here in the Academy do our best to act responsibly, and encourage you to do the same. Come see me in the Innovation Lab today!
Glide On!
Kwan
Hey Lightglider!
This week’s Gliddle Principle is RESPONSIBILITY. That is a big word that can be carried out in lots of small ways. To be responsible means that we are trustworthy in our actions and our words. Therefore, we do the very best we can in everything that we do and with everything we have. This includes our schoolwork, homework, friendships, extracurricular activities, and even the time in our day. Being responsible in the “little things” will lead to greater responsibilities to come. Being responsible shows that we have respect for everything we’ve been given. When we steward our time and talents in ways that please God, we are acting responsibly!
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!

We are discussing “Gliddle Principles” here in Lightglider Academy. This week it’s all about kindness! Have you ever thought about what it means to be kind? Lightgliders show kindness to one another by being encouraging with our words and supportive in each other’s tasks. Kindness doesn’t have to be a big gesture for all the world to see. It can be something small, like smiling or giving a friend a compliment or introducing yourself to someone new at school. Sometimes small acts of kindness make a big impact! I challenge you to come to the Academy this week and give out some boosts in the Courtyard. That would be really kind of you!
Glide On!

This Week in Lightgliders
Hey Lightglider!
This week we’re talking about KINDNESS. Well, we don’t just want to talk about it. We want to show it! To be kind means to be friendly, generous, and considerate. Our theme verse this week is Colossians 3:12 (NLT): “Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”
This verse tells us to clothe ourselves with lots of different character qualities. Have you ever thought about that? You can choose to put qualities like kindness on like you put on your clothes in the morning. Just like we pick out which shirt or pair of shoes we are going to wear, we can choose to be kind, humble, gentle, and patient throughout our day. Clothing ourselves with kindness is a powerful way to show God’s character to the world around us. The Bible tells us that God’s kindness is what leads us to Him in the first place. Check out Romans 2:4 this week! So pick up kindness and put it on like a jacket. Wear it everywhere you go!
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!
Monday
