Memory Verse
Miss Elisa shares a challenge for our memory verse this month from Philippians 2:3... “Don't do anything only to get ahead. Don't do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.” Check it out!
Curriculum Preview
We live in a “me” centered world, where people act as if the world revolves around them. Figuring out how to be humble can be difficult. But we don’t have to figure this out on our own. When Jesus was on earth, He gave us the ultimate example of humility. Jesus is God, and He put that aside for us. Through His life and death, He also showed us how to serve others and put them first.
