FAMILY PLUS Children's - June 26

Hey everyone!
We are coming off of a great week of Summer Jam with your kids! Thank you for sending them! It was a blast and I can't wait to start planning next year!

Here are the details for this week:

Scripture: Galatians 5:16-26
Life Application: My Helper Helps Me Choose
Memory Verse:  Galatians 5:22-23 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
Prayer for the Nations: Ghana

This week is all about the "fruits of the Spirit". As a child, I literally imagined a basket of fruit every time the "fruits of the Spirit were mentioned in church (almost like a cornucopia that you see at Thanksgiving). It took me a while to understand exactly what they were and how they helped me. 

I'm giving you a great challenge this week. Your challenge is to have your kids teach you the song they learn in Kidstuf about the fruits of the Spirit. We will sing it as a worship song during worship. This song serves 2 purposes: 1) it will help your kids memorize the "fruits of the Spirit" 2) it will open the door very wide for you to ensure your kids understand what the "fruits of the Spirit" are.

Have fun with this one! By the way, I have done this particular song with Middle Schoolers and High Schoolers and they always have a good time with it too.
