WHAT YOU DO:
If you have a Bible, open it to Ruth 1 and 2 or pull it up on a Bible App. Help kids find where the passage is located.
WHAT YOU SAY:
This month we’re talking about kindness. Kindness is something we choose to wear every day -- just like we choose to pick out which clothes to wear.
It's important for us to show kindness, but that's not always easy. When it comes to our family and friends, sometimes it's hard for us to be kind to those who are closest to us.
Let's see what the story of Ruth and Boab can teach us about being kind to our family members.

APPLYING THE MESSAGE TO OUR LIVES
WHAT YOU SAY:
Ruth's kindness doesn't go unnoticed. Boaz sees how Ruth is treating Naomi and offers kindness to Ruth, changing her life in a big way.
The story of Ruth can show us that we should show kindness to the people who care about us the most. Kindness is a choice. Sometimes we don't feel like being kind. But our grumpy attitude or anger or impatience can have a lasting effect on our family members and friends. Let's choose to be kind and see what happens!
Now, 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!
