“Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children. Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loves us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.” - Ephesians 5:1-2 (NLT)

Hey Lightglider!
Did you know that the Lightgliders story that you have entered into points to a far greater, far more important story? As you continue to learn about being a Lightglider, you’ll hear that we seek to respect, rescue, and restore. And you will learn how this points to the Far Greater Story, the true story of God’s love for us!
The Bible reveals God as the ultimate respecter, rescuer, and restorer. He RESPECTS us by creating us in His image, giving us dignity, and loving us. He RESCUES us from the grip of our sin and selfishness through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. And He promises to RESTORE us and this broken world one day so that we may live forever with Him. This is The Far Greater Story.
We are so glad you’re here. Yes, you are here to play games, meet friends, and have fun. But, your purpose for being here is far greater!
Glide On!

Dream of ways to shine this week. Here are some suggestions!
• Be a restorer - help fix what’s broken! Whether it’s picking up trash at the park, cleaning your room without being asked, or helping a sibling with something tough, small actions that bring peace and order reflect God’s heart to restore what’s broken.
• Show respect with your words and actions! Use kind words when speaking to family, friends, and even strangers. Saying “please,” “thank you,” and “I’m sorry” may seem small, but they show others that they are valued - just like God values us!
• Be a rescuer - stand up for someone! If you see someone being teased, left out, or treated unfairly, be brave and stand up for them. Invite them to play, speak encouragement, or ask a trusted grown up for help. Lightgliders shine when they stand for what’s right.
