ELEVATE - Week of September 9

"God gave His best - I should give my best."

This week our kids continued their journey towards discovering the greatest treasure ever by uncovering the BIRTH stone. The birth that they learned about was the birth of Jesus - God's greatest gift.

The verse of the week is: "For God loved the world so much that he gave his only son. . .John 3:16a" Please help them to memorize the verse so they can get a prize next Sunday.

This week as you discuss with your kids, encourage them to always go above and beyond what is asked of them. God gave his best and because we love God we want to give our best to others no matter what.

Below is a link and ideas to help you out this week.

Give Your Very Best
Sit down with your child at the computer and watch this YouTube video together. (of course, this is clean, but always monitor your child closely when on YouTube) It should spark great conversation about giving God your very best.

Notice all of the things that your child is doing well this week. Praise them.. Encourage them. Don't fuss because they aren't doing the best job they can when you ask them to clean their room. Actually go alongside them and train them all over again. This time, talk to them about how God gave his best (Jesus) to us and because we love God we want to always try to do our very best in everything that we do - even cleaning our room.

Have fun!!

Until next week. . . .
