WHAT YOU SAY:
Our August Life App is "Creativity".
A life app is something that God wants to do IN you to change the world AROUND you. And creativity is imagining what you can do because you are made in God's image.
There are so many things we can do to help others, including treating others with kindness and compassion. This month, let's keep our focus on being creative and sharing God's love in creative and amazing ways!

APPLYING THE MESSAGE TO OUR LIVES
WHAT YOU SAY:
When Jesus said that we’re like salt, He meant that we can make things better for the people around us. When we share God’s story and shine His light, we can bring hope to others. We help fill their lives with kindness, joy, and peace.
We can shine our light by loving God and loving other people. Our lives can tell His story in everything we say and do. In fact, your whole LIFE can point others to God’s story. Show what a difference God has made in your life by treating others the way you want to be treated. That’s how we can do what God created us to do . . . share His story.
Let's do a KidsConnect activity to connect with today's Bible message.
WHAT YOU DO:
Open/view/download the PARENT GUIDE and do the activities together.

CONNECT WITH OTHERS
Take a photo of your family doing one of the activities and post it to our private Facebook group @ Foothills Family Ministries or ask Ms. Lisa to share it lisastewart@foothillsumc.org. Seeing pictures of other KidsConnect families doing the activities will hopefully help us feel connected during this time of physical isolation!
