MAY 30 -- BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
We finish the month in Mark 12:41-44. Jesus is with His disciples and notices how wealthy people are giving lots of money, but then came a poor widow. She gave just two small coins. While this seemed like such a small gift, Jesus says this woman gave more than the rich people because she gave everything she had.
That's why our Bottom Line this week is: Practice living for God.
We know that many kids love to sing and worship God. But worship isn’t just something we do when we sing at church; worship is how we honor God with our whole lives—through how we love others and serve them, how we give of our time and talents, how we obey and praise God, even how we rest. We want kids to practice the faith skill, LIVE, and discover that worship isn’t just singing loud. It’s living loud.

What do you have to give?
It doesn't always mean money. It could be giving your time to a family member or sharing a talent you have.
Together, brainstorm some ways you or your family could use what you have to show love to God and to others. Commit to doing at least one of those things this week.
Then, pray for each other, that God will help you follow through.
