IF:Gathering exists to gather, equip and unleash women to live out their calling. The non­profit was born out of a God­given vision from Jennie Allen, Founder & Visionary. She was joined by Lindsey Nobles, Chief Operating Officer, and together, they formed a team of Christian female leaders that desire to gather

this generation of women by creating a pure, honest space to wrestle with the essential question: IF God is real… THEN what? In the first two years, IF:Gathering has reached more than one million women in fifty countries. IF:Gathering provides a daily online equipping tool, IF:Equip, to help women to know God more deeply. By partnering with organizations like International Justice Mission, IF is coming alongside women around the world, fostering relationships, and utilizing women’s God­given gifts to not only transform hearts but also leave a tangible impact on the entire world.

KIDS WORSHIP—Treasure Island!
February 2016

Kids, come explore with us as we search Treasure Island to DISCOVER some incredible Bible lessons! Each week we will dig deep into the Bible where we will find ways that we can give to our great God! Paul said in
1 Timothy 4:12, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example…” There are lots of ways kids can be a great example and one is by learning to give unselfishly. We’ll be finding out how we can give our talents, time, treasures, and lives to God every day! Our key verse for the month is, “Give as freely as you have received!” Matthew 10:8
Moms and Dads, here’s where we’ll journey on Treasure Island if you want to talk about it with your kids at home!

• The Israelites Build the Tabernacle—Exodus 35:10-36:7. We use our talents for God.

• Nehemiah Gives His Time to Rebuild the Wall—Nehemiah 2:1-6:16. We use our time for God.

• Jesus Tells About the Widow’s Offering—Mark 12:41-44. We give our treasures to God.

• The Rich Young Ruler—Matthew 19:16-26. We give our lives to God.
