Virtual Kids Church - November 1, 2020

Welcome to Virtual Kids Church: Nov. 1, 2020

New Month - New Units!!

WEEK 1 - Elementary and PreTeens:

What are you grateful for? We start the month on gratitude helping Elementary and Preteen kids refocus their own life and discover reasons they can be thankful. We can get so busy with life, that we often don’t take the time to pause and notice what God has done for us. We pray that kids will consider why they can always be thankful.

The kids kick off this new series with something Paul wrote in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus, (NIrV). It’s pretty clear. Giving thanks is something God wants us to do. No matter what happens, we can be thankful for Jesus and God’s gift of salvation.

Bottom Line: You always have something to be grateful for. When life is hard or even if life is normal, finding why you should be thankful can be difficult, especially for kids. We pray that as kids think about this bottom line, they’ll remember they can always be thankful to God for sending Jesus to be our Savior.

WEEK 1 - PreK:

 Story Focus: I can thank God for good things. During week one, we will talk about how every good and perfect gift comes from God. So when our preschoolers see something good, we want them to say “Thank You, God!” Did you see a red bird on a branch? Thank You, God! Did you see a beautiful yellow flower? Thank You, God! Did you see a colorful rainbow after the rain? Thank You, God!

  • Today’s Bible Story: I can thank God for good things.  Every Good and Perfect Gift • James 1:17; Genesis 1

  • Memory Verse: “Give thanks to the Lord for he is good.” Psalm 107:1, NIV

  • Key Question: Who is good?

  • Bottom Line: God is good.

  • Basic Truth: God made me.

Where does gratitude begin? The more you remember to thank God and the people around you, the more others can see God at work IN you! We begin exploring the concept of gratitude this week in 1Thessalonians 5:18. Give thanks, no matter what happens!
