The start of a new school year brings a lot of excitement, but it can also bring nerves, questions, and uncertainty. That's why our Five Lakes Kids team has created a Back to School Survival Guide, a fun, family-friendly devotional designed to help kids start the school year with confidence in God.

This 6-part devotional walks families through biblical truths about God's help, wisdom, strength, courage, peace, and joy, along with simple conversation starters, activities, and prayer prompts that make it easy to grow in faith together.

Whether your child is starting kindergarten, heading into middle school, or anywhere in between, we hope this guide encourages your family as you prepare for the year ahead.Download your free Back to School Survival Guide below and use it together as you get ready for a great school year
