QUEST: Clubhouse Service for June 13
Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Unit 3 Intro
UNIT 3 INTRODUCTION: THE GREAT CLAIM BEFORE THE GREAT COMMANDMENT
The Command: “Hello, my name is Private Joe Smith, US Army. I am commanding you all to risk your families, your reputations, and your very life by carrying out this mission I’ve thought up.”
The Response: “Say what?! Who do you think you are? How do I know this mission has even been authorized? I wouldn’t risk my pocket change following a command like that.”
At least that’s how I would respond. How about you? How can you follow someone with no authority to lead in the first place? Now let’s go to the risen Jesus and the disciples on that mountain in Galilee.

BABY QUEST: June Lessons
Baby QUEST is Reston Bible Church’s ministry to the youngest members of our Body.
Each month, we will feature a guide for your family to use with children ages 0-2. The guide includes follow up activities, a craft or sensory activity, recommended reading, a song, and other tips that are uniquely tailored to the development of infants and toddlers.
The guide follows the themes we are teaching in our nursery classes, giving you an opportunity to connect and reinforce the ideas taught at home. Because children this age need repetition, each activity can be done multiple times throughout the month to continue to press it upon your child’s memory as they grow!
This month, we’re focusing on the story of Noah and the ark. Children will learn to identify God as a protector who desires to keep us safe as He kept Noah, his family, and the animals safe.
Big Idea:
God Keeps Me Safe
Scripture Focus:
Genesis 6-9

QUEST: Clubhouse Service for May 9
Family Quest: Extreme Makeover, Spiritual Edition – Salt and Light, Lesson 3
LESSON 3: “I WENT THE EXTRA MILE”
Several years ago I ran in the annual Army 10-Miler in DC. I signed up for 10 miles and I trained for 10 miles. What happened instead was a race diversion, because of a bomb scare, and I, along with 20,000 other runners, ended up going 11.5 miles. When asked to run 10 we ran 11.5 instead. Ok. That’s not exactly what Jesus was talking about in His most famous sermon (Matt 5). So what was He getting at? Love your enemies, do good to those who persecute you, if someone forces you to go a mile, go with him two miles. Say what? This is crazy talk, Jesus. That’s just not feasible. He clearly hasn’t kept up with the latest personal assertiveness seminars. Get ahead by standing up for yourself. That’s the American way.
We started out this section looking at how we can love our neighbors in the family, and in the church. Most recently, as we discussed our neighbor in the world, we first looked at the sinner and then the defenseless. So far so good.
