FAMILY PLUS Children's - August 19

Hey everyone!

We just finished a great week talking about our worries. We saw some great things come from this week's teaching. It amazes me how much our kids do worry about things in life.

Here are this coming week's details:

Scripture: Mark 10:17-27 - The Rich Man

Life Application: I can follow God’s plan for my life.

Memory Verse: Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.”

Prayer for the Nations: Israel

Have you ever worked along side your child to build or make something? I know some of you are crafty and do that stuff all the time. Whatever the case, this challenge is easy and hopefully eye opening for your kids.

Find something to do that has instructions or a plan... (craft project, game, legos, etc.)

It doesn't matter what the project is as long as there are instructions.

Follow the instructions of your task. In the middle of this task ask your child, "why are there instructions with the game, craft, etc?"

Then you can say something like the following:

In order to play the game right, build the craft right, or build the right thing from the legos we have to follow a plan. God has a plan for you! You could be a fireman, doctor, or God might ask you to serve him another way. How do you think God would want you to serve Him?

I pray that this will lead to some great discussion for you and your family!
