Hey GIGI girls, Today we have a brand-new story for you - we are looking at a woman in the Bible found in the New Testament. She was married to Ananias, and they both made a terrible mistake. You can find their story in your Bible in Acts 5: 1-11. Here is a sneak peek.... A small leather bag filled with coins lay on the table between them. Ananias paced back and forth. Sapphira watched him. Her stomach fluttered. “We have to decide now,” he said, voice low and urgent. They...

Dahlia parked her car and began to pull out what she’d need for the day. “Hey Dahlia, need some help?” Dahlia looked up to see Adam, Kate and Jason heading her way. “Actually, that would be great,” Dahlia smiled, piling their outstretched arms with a few boxes and bags, while she pulled her small trolley with more things. “I’m heading to the Home Ec. room,” she said. “Hey, Dahlia, I just, um, wanted to say thanks for the tutoring club you volunteer at after school on Tuesdays. I got my maths test, and I passed. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a pass before,” Jason...

Nicolas had grown up in church. His great-grandparents had helped build the little church his family attended. His mother and sister led worship, his father was an elder, his older brother was the youth activity coordinator and his uncle was one of the treasurers. Everybody knew the Fletcher family “the faithful ones.” And that was kind of the problem. Everyone assumed Nicolas already knew everything about the Bible. His youth class teachers called on him first. The younger kids idolised him. Even his friends joked, “If anyone’s got a direct line to God, it’s Nick!” He’d laugh it...

Nicodemus stepped through the narrow streets, his sandals brushing against the cool stones. The scent of burning wood drifted from nearby homes. His heart pounded faster with each step. Finally, he reached the place where Jesus was staying. A soft light flickered inside — maybe from a small oil lamp. Nicodemus hesitated, then knocked lightly. Jesus looked up as the door opened. His eyes, calm and kind, met Nicodemus’s. It was as if He already knew why he had come. “Rabbi,” Nicodemus began, his voice trembling slightly, “we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. No...

That night, Mia tossed and turned in bed. She scrolled through old photos—worship team pics, youth camps, moments where she felt seen and important. Now she felt… invisible. Replaced. She closed her eyes, trying to pray—but all she could hear was her own voice from earlier. “Why her?” “I deserve to be noticed.” “I’m better than her.” Suddenly, Mia felt a strange heaviness. Not on her chest, but deep in her heart. Like something had gone numb. Her chest tightened. She couldn’t cry. She couldn’t even pray properly. Her heart felt… cold. As if something inside...

“Hey Dahlia, need some help?” Dahlia looked up to see Adam, Kate and Jason heading her way.
“Actually, that would be great,” Dahlia smiled, piling their outstretched arms with a few boxes and bags, while she pulled her small trolley with more things.
“I’m heading to the Home Ec. room,” she said.
“Hey, Dahlia, I just, um, wanted to say thanks for the tutoring club you volunteer at after school on Tuesdays. I got my maths test, and I passed. I don’t think I’ve ever gotten a pass before,” Jason laughed.
“Oh, that’s awesome! And you’re welcome. I’m just glad I could help; I remember learning that in when I was in grade 10 and it was a lot,” Dahlia smiled.
“Yeah, thanks for always helping; it does mean a lot to us,” Kate agreed. She’d been tutored in English, and her grades had improved too.
“Aww, I’m so glad I love helping,” she smiled.
“Have fun with the Grade 8’s this afternoon. I think my brother Eli has a crush on you.” Adam laughed. He and his friends headed off to class.
Dahlia shook her head, laughed and thanked them for their help in helping her carry everything.
