Bible Story: Widow of Zeraphath

Bottom Line: Ask God for what you need to lend a hand.

Memory Verse: “Let your light shine so others can see it. Then they will see the good things you do. And they will bring glory to your Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16, NIrV

Basic Truth: Service is lending a hand to help someone else.

Your Family Is Weird
by Kristen IvyWhen did you first realize your family was weird?

Last week, I was sitting at Starbucks with an 8th grade girl from my small group, and she said, “So, does your family really not do the jingle bell thing?” I quickly racked my brain to try to imagine what kind of “jingle bell thing” she might be referring to. We sing jingle bells. We read the Polar Express. My kids make crafts with jingle bells on them. Uncertain, I asked her, “What jingle bell thing”?

Playing is the most effective way for children to learn life skills and find out what they like.#JustaPhase
