MATERIALS NEEDED:
Upbeat music, a fun snack (whatever you have at home), any party supplies you have on hand (hats, streamers, decorations, etc.), a Bible or Bible app, a wrapped piece of candy or food (granola bar, etc.), 2 cotton balls or wads of paper. WHAT YOU DO: Open/download/print the PARENT GUIDE. Gather your family together where you can watch the Bible video and you have room to do the activities. WHAT YOU SAY: Our March Life App is Forgiveness. Forgiveness means that someone who has wronged you doesn't have to pay. And a life app is something that God wants to do IN you to change the world AROUND you. WHAT YOU DO: If you have a Bible, open it to Luke 15:21-32 or pull it up on a Bible App. Help kids find where the passage is located. Show this video. It includes a worship song you can sing together--motions, too! There's a narrator who introduces the Bible story and also does the "wrap up". https://vimeo.com/showcase/6874412/video/398255789 APPLYING THE MESSAGE TO OUR LIVES WHAT YOU SAY: Our "Bottom Line" from this Bible Story is: When you don’t forgive, you miss out. When we choose not to forgive others, we could miss out on rebuilding a broken relationship. We might miss out on friendships or new, fun memories with our family, or peace in our own hearts. We could also miss out on the joy that God can give us when we choose to show forgiveness. Let's do some KidsConnect games to help us learn our memory verse and to remember that everyone needs to be forgiven. WHAT YOU DO: Open/view/download the PARENT GUIDE and do the activities together. |
PARENT GUIDE:
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! | ||
