This month's memory verse
"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

And God was doing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul,
11God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles. 12When handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases, and evil spirits were expelled.
13A group of Jews was traveling from town to town casting out evil spirits. They tried to use the name of the Lord Jesus in their incantation, saying, “I command you in the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, to come out!” 14Seven sons of Sceva, a leading priest, were doing this. 15But one time when they tried it, the evil spirit replied, “I know Jesus, and I know Paul, but who are you?” 16Then the man with the evil spirit leaped on them, overpowered them, and attacked them with such violence that they fled from the house, naked and battered.
This week, spend quality time playing “Would You Rather” with your family!
How to run it: Read one prompt at a time. Everyone points/moves to one side of the room (or raises a hand) for their answer. Ask a couple people why—that’s where the fun actually happens. Run as many rounds as you have time for; no winner needed, though you can make it bracket-style if you want a “most popular answer wins a point” version.
