February 27: Making Time to Help

Hi families,

It’s been so fun learning about God’s love and compassion with your kiddos this month! Thanks for joining us in-person or online for each step in the adventure.

This week, we’re wrapping up this series with 1 Corinthians 16 (we can love like Jesus) and the story of Jesus healing Bartimaeus (which reminds us to make time to help others).

Take a moment to talk with your family about these three truths:

  1. God is compassionate and loves you, me, and everyone. He doesn’t ask me to do anything for others without doing everything for me first.

  2. Because of who God is, I can be compassionate towards myself.

  3. When I remember those first two things, then I can also treat others with compassionate, kindness, and love.

Don’t forget: God loves you, I love you, and you are amazing just the way you are!

Love,
Miss Elisa


This week’s preschool episode

  • All month, our preschoolers are learning with Miss Elisa that Jesus loves everyone.

  • Today we get to hear the story of 1 Corinthians 16:14... and focus on how we can love like Jesus.

  • Practice our preschool memory verse: Do everything in love (1 Corinthians 16:14).


This week’s Elementary Episode

  • This month, our elementary kiddos are exploring with Miss Elisa that compassion is caring enough to do something about someone else’s need.

  • Today's story is all about Jesus healing Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46-52) and that we can make time to help others.

  • Practice our elementary memory verse: The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what He requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy. And you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God (Micah 6:8).


This week’s So and So episode

  • Every week, you can watch The So and So Show on-demand. It's a great way to revisit the elementary story and life application from Kids Worship during the middle of your week as a family.

  • In this week's episode: John, Brandon, Stephen, and Kellen explore the key question: When has someone made time for you?
