At the Summit, we’re striving to climb to new heights with Jesus. These five devotionals are suggestions of activities to do as a family to help your family
to climb closer to Jesus together at home during the week. This tool is intended to help you lead a family worship time. Please go to God in worship as a
family on a regular basis even if you do not use this resource. If your family completes one of the devotionals parents can initial in the boxes below and
the child will receive a buck for every devotional completed.

Devotional One, Read: Read the following verse about the
vine and the branches.
Scriptures to consider: Ezekiel 17:7-9; John 15:1-6
Devotional Two, Pray: Jesus said the branches abide.
This just means to live or to take up abode. Part of living
with Jesus is communicating to Him. Ask Him to help you
today to abide in Him.

Devotional Three, Mold: A gardener has to sometimes cut
away the bad parts of a plant for the rest of the plant to
grow the right way. That’s part o why Jesus uses the pic-
ture of the vine and branches to explain our relationship.
Jesus molds us but he also takes away the bad stuff (sin).
See if you can mold a vine with branches and clumps of
grapes. “Prune” away the “bad” parts and thank the Lord
for making you more like Him every day.
Devotional Four, Build: Build a scene from Numbers 14:1-
45 using Legos, Duplos, Mega Blocks, or some other kind
of building toy. See if you can use these blocks to get all of
the details right. Talk with your parents about how this
story might relate to the one we learned on Sunday.

Devotional Five, Sing: I love hymns. Hymns are songs
that people might have been singing for hundreds of
years. One of my favorites is “I am the vine” With your
parent’s help, look up this song on the internet or in a
hymn book. See if you can find the story behind the song.
Talk about this song and what it means. A good resource
is “www.cyberhymnal.org,” you can listen and read the
lyrics and read about the hymn. See if you can sing the
hymn once you’re finished learning about it.
Devotional Six, Serve: Part of our “pruning” comes when
we think less of ourselves and more of others. The best
way to think of others is by doing something helpful for
them. Is there someone you can think of that needs help
in your neighborhood? Could an older lady need help with
yard work, help her. Think of someone you can help this
week and tell them you’re helping them because Jesus has
helped you and is helping you.
