FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: GENTLENESS AND FAITHFULNESS

1 Samuel 24:1-20; LUKE 15:11-32

Discuss

Our Fruits of the Spirit go in 2 directions this week for Elementary and Pre-School. Our GrowKids Elementary learned that David was faithful even when he had the chance to get revenge against King Saul who had been very mean to him. The Pre-Schoolers learned about the Prodigal Son and that the Father was gentle in his reaction to the son when he could have been very upset. Take time to read these 2 impactful stories to your kids and make it extra fun by having them act out the stories.

Weekly Challenge

Our FAITHFULNESS and GENTLENESS FRUIT CHALLENGES will help your kids grow good fruit in their lives. The pre-schoolers are challenged to display GENTLENESS by showing a sibling how to do something. If there is no sibling, then have your pre-schooler show gentleness to a pet. For our elementary students, they are challenged to demonstrate faithfulness by following through with a commitment that they make during the week.
